Default Couple vids from track.

Finally uploaded some video from my last track outing. I was trying to figure out my new et streets bias ply. Still need some work, apparently you need to really raise the rpm vs a drag radial. Anyhow, in the 3rd clip you can really notice the lane walk with the bias ply in the rear and a radial in the front. Sure is an uneasy feeling at first.

So you need to man up and powershift 4th. It's super easy.


I still think you can launch a little harder.

What run was the 1.60 60'? I would have called you back but I was in Mexico.

No worries. Hope you guys had fun.

The one from the video above was a 1.75 I think. Unfortunately my buddies had just left on the 1.6'. I have the video below but you can't really tell. It's the second vid where I'm racing the classic camaro. It was nice to smoke him. He was acting like Billy bad a$$ in the staging lanes, revving his engine at me. Anyhow, I think I finally got it. I like launching at 3.5-4k. It's so much easier. And for the power shifting I just need to make it a habit. I forgot frankly.
