Short vid, first launch on slicks - 1/9/2005 7:32:32 PM    mdvaldosta   Posts: 8826 Joined: 9/2/2003 From: United States Status: offline First time out on slicks - not ready to post my times yet - still working out some demons. Believe it or not, one pass I pulled the wheels 10" off the ground - not barely, not 2 inches... 10 friggen inches! Guess what this 60' was? 1.85 - lol wtf! who pulls the wheels off the ground and cuts a 1.85 60'! I ran another 1.82 (4500 launch) 60' then a 1.77 (5500 launch) - figured something was fuxored so I tightened the front suspension from a #2 setting to a #3 setting and launched at 5500 again and cut a 1.69... then called it quits for the day. Im gonna keep launching at 5500 - 5800 and start stiffining the front struts click by click until I can get the best launch with no tire spin. I expected 60's deep into the 1.5's- oh well gotta get it another day. Stock cluch held, God knows how. It slipped on the 1/2 and 3/4 shift alittle but apparently not on the launch. Twas a fun ride. Notice in the video how I come off the line hard then bog / slow down for about 20 feet then start haulin arse again. Think that will go away after stiffining up the suspension... any ideas? Video is attatched. Attachment (1) < Message edited by mdvaldosta -- 1/9/2005 8:27:22 PM > Post #: 1
