You could have released the clutch a little slower instead of dumping it, very nice!

i voted 8, you had awesome shifting ( very fast and at the right times) but the launch could have used a lil feathering (on the first one) other than that id say you got the "driver mod" already ... nice runs

Not bad at all. It was just the launch that wasn't so perfect. Other than that, great driving!

I give it a 7 because of the launch. The shifting is pretty quick but the launch needs a little work and that's at least 40% of the race. All in all, good job! Keep slammin' 'em!!!

As for the launch, I agree it was shitty, but man that spec 3 had such a fine line, either bog or spin.

Do you have a built trans? No way I could shift mine that fast it wouldn't let me in the gear.

Well I destroyed my 3/4 synchro a few months back, so i went ahead and replaced all the blocker rings etc and put in a steal 3/4 shift fork.

Once in awhile I just can not get it into 4th though at WOT, but I usually will just force it in.

Just need to be smoother in your staging IMO.
