Jason was the Cobra, right? Did he hurt the tranny? I hope not.
Nice meeting you.

I guess the white formula wanted to stay on the service rd cause he wanted to dig run first. I got the videos posted. We did a dig, and a 30 roll. Then him and the GT ran for a bit, and they kept going for a while so we turned around.

so the car is driving at the moment. i was having issues getting into third against the audi (4dr i assume). and that's a personal problem of mine anyway, so i thought it was just my shitty driving.
after the third try- the tranny just wasnt feeling right so i put it in fourth, had a little trouble getting it out. same with fifth, then it got stuck in 6th. thats when i pulled off the highway. fast forward- in the process of pulling it up on the tow truck- it came out of gear while i was in it. tow it home anyway and let it sit over night.
just had a look at it. it drives fine now, but my clutch felt real short. so i go to readjust it at the firewall adjuster. find out that the adjuster was loose anyway. so i tighten that all back down and it seems fine now. about to stop by the shop though to see what they think.
was a fun run until that happened!

Glad it might have just been something loose and not something serious. I think we would have had a real good run the last time we tried if the problem didn't pop up. Still, fun runs though!

Here's a couple runs, really the only ones worth showing.

Set to 720p, makes it better but the first GoPro's aren't known for night time quality.
Everything else was when Jason was having issues =/
My car vs. full bolt on NA Cobra vs. DFas (far lane, can only see headlights, hahaha)
~40mph...who would have known I would need the driver mod in an auto =( pretty much a dead spot for me, I even honked and took off late lol.
Oh well, good fun, would like to be better organized next time, and dig runs would be nice =D

Ha you definitely pull hard off the top end though. Maybe we can do a rematch and get a better vid with me in it.

It was fun for sure. We will have to run again after my trans is built and I'm spraying. Where did you post your videos? It was good meeting everyone. I will be seeing everyone this coming week for sure.
