I have 3.31's too, I was referring to my shifts from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd by shifting close to redline.

Here is my time slip BTW

Well i didn't do as well at the event as i thought i would. brought the time down to a 15.57 tho on my best run. It rained at 1:30 and we ran at 3:30 and temps got into the 70's so it was a bit humid. i ran my best time in the late evening after letting my car sit and the temp going down to low 50's. funny how temp and humidity can play such a big role. Kona i used to do auto-x events when i had a '92 miata and i loved it. RR would be a blast too!

Did you drop the tire pressure and raise the rpms? I think you should be a lot faster but then again if the track was horrible after the rain then its hard to post ets.

if you tried lowering your tire pressure and didn't see any change , try raising all pressures to about 42lbs and see what happens . also try leaving at 1100 rpms don't pop the clutch , just let it out like normal , once your moving nail the gas . it may bog a little at that rpm , but if you start spinning in first , chances are you'll b spinning in second, and spinning = SLOW !
