Strong first time out, well done. Theres a lot more in her if you can get that 60ft down. What was our rear tire pressure set to? Try lowering it next time and launching harder.

yes the pzero's that came stock on the Gt rims that i got as new take offs, and i didn't lower the pressure at all what would you guys suggest the pressure to be at? and what would you suggest the best way to launch harder i have an auto and i held my left foot on the brake and started to give a little gas before letting off i would say maybe no more than 2000rpm

Pnero's are actually not that bad. I'd drop them down to 25psi at the track. Don't do a burn out, just cycle them once or twice to clean them. If you can launch at 2k thats good, if you spin drop your launch to 1800. Once you find an rpm you can launch at without spinning, raise it by 100rpm each time after that till you find the sweet spot.

Its hard to keep the RPMs consistent with a manual cause of the drive by wire...
