Default New Best!!!!

I went down to atco tonight to test out some different launching techniques to see which way has the least/no rpm hang. Since it was gamblers I only got 2 decent runs in.

First run off the street(launched at 1500 rpms) - slight rpm hang
R/T: .020
60: 1.618
1/8: 7.403 @ 94.63
1/4: 11.563 @ 118.72
http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n...rent=Me117.flv

and now for my new best!!!!!

1 hour cool down(launched off idle) No rpm hang YEESSSSSS!!!!
R/T: -.035
60: 1.537
1/8: 7.081 @ 96.19
1/4: 11.190 @ 119.79
http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n...ent=Me1119.flv

On the return lane after my new best I couldn't stop smiling I was so freaking excited!!!!!

Thanks Drew. A 10 sec slip would be sweet. We'll see what happens once I start using the trans brake and launching at 4400 rpms
