1st trip to track w/ 05
#1
Only got 3 runs in so not much practice time. Car runs a fine line between wheel hop past the 60ft. timers or fall on it's face bog. Wheel hop run was traction control off bringing it out around 3K semi quick release of clutch. Tried to ease back the thotlle to stop the hop but it wasn't happening so I just put it back to the floor. Ran a 15.0 @ 99 LOL.....3.2 60ft. Next run traction control on reved to 3500 and dumped the clutch, felt like I stalled the car almost then woke back up and powershifting into 3rd it fell flat again for a split second, but improved to a 14.2 @ 99. Third run, traction control off, walked it out just off idle and as soon as it was rolling started feeding in the gas and got a 2.1 60ft. stumble was gone on the powershift to 3rd and ran through the traps with a 14.1 @ 101. Not too bad I suppose for being 90+ out and around 70% humidity, stone stock, 1/2 tank of fuel, and still carring everything it came from the factory with. Wish i had more runs to play with to try and get the launch down but the track was running slow and was packed with racers. This cars not as easy as my 10 second 89 coupe with slicks thats for sure, it maybe alot slower but it takes a gentle touch to make it work good. Got my baseline so let the mods commence lol.![](http://www.tamparacing.com/photopost/data/500/medium/bradenton1.JPG)
