Default found the problem...

Well after going over the Vid's,THANKS RYAN!!, you can see that each time I lost it I was going over a dip in the transition of a seam in the track!

The best view of this is on the last frame in the video Ryan took. you can see the corner sticking up and the seem across the track. If you look closer you can see a dark area that seems to outline the dipp.

The guys in the singal digit area found it and pointed it out. I totaly missed it. I have been kicking my self all night trying to figure it out!

Ryan again thank you for the kick *** video! They give a good indicater of just how hard the car launch's

I say we boycott Bremerton. Seriously though I do think if this new border pass happens I will be going to Mission more than anywhere else next year. Good to hear it wasnt a problem with your car.

I thought I could see something there, but wasn't sure what it was. Good catch Ellis. So the cold ground made the dip more pronounced, and threw in some lack of traction for good measure. For sure I'm not going there when it's cold....

Oh, and I had no traction today either. I took the TA out for a test drive to see if the increased PE would help. I hit it about 25, lit the tires, hit 2nd & went left 2 ft, smoked the tires & hit 3rd where it finally caught traction & took off. Damn Hoosier DRs aren't even enough anymore.
