well i was dissapointed too, I didnt meet my goals i was going for. the et streets and my lca relocation brackets really helped out, i can hook off the line now, but I still cant get a good 60'. then the 3rd run when I tried to launch my clutch pedal stuck to the floor and I couldnt shift into 2nd, not sure what that was about...
anyway that 3rd time i lined up next to the g force impala, which i didnt know was out there so that was cool, but i messed up on that run.
Too bad it was crowded and I only got to make 3 runs, which the last 1 was a problem. I was kind of dissapointed with my results, hopefully if I can practice the launch more I can do better.
at least i didnt break anything though, so im happy about that
purple96T/A nice meeting you too

i sprayed a 75 shot my 2nd run, I ran 12.5 @118 with the usual 2 sec 60'. I didnt rev the engine up very much and it hooked and bogged, so thats why i tried to leave a little higher the 3rd time.
The clutch thing was strange because ive never had that problem since I put my new clutch in and all new hyd. its hard to remember exactly what happened cause it was so fast but the main thing is i screwed up that run
those et streets are kind of scary on the top end!

I was out last night and wondered what happened to you on the last run. Tried to see if everything was alright, but you kept driving around in the parking lot lol. All in all it was a fun night at the track

if the clutch pedal sticking was a freak one time thing it could have just got caught on the floor mat or something stupid like that. IDK, just my 2 cents
