Shamus said Tim went 12.18 @ 118 today. How did you do?

Still cant hook up.

I lowered the tire pressure to 25 which I dunno if it helped or not. I kinda did a small burnout before each launch and finally started shifting a little better. We should have some good film of the runs.

Between me and Vassil, we were the two fastest vehicles at the track which is funny. The next closest was some Honda and an R6 bike.

Vassil won some bracket racing trophy as well as Shamus. I think I should have gotten one for the fastest time of the day

Is this Tim talking? Shamus said that Tim was running your car and you didn't run. Was he mistaken? He said you had 6" heals on and didn't know how you could shift in those!

All my launches were at 1.84's to 1.88 so they were consistant... just not fast. I think with a little better shifting and a better launch I will finally get some decent times.

The car wasn't running the same boost as I tuned it for either... I guess the track was too hot? It dropped to just over 25.5 and in fourth it was JUST over 25. Oh well... i am happy. Im getting better slowly

This is Tim Trina didnt run it. My best time was a 12.18 in the time trials. The re-match bracket race (Last race I ran) was a 12.045 @118.93

Vassils best was a 12.18 I think but I forgot. I know he did a little better on his launches I think around 1.77 or so.

With some better launches and cooler temps you should definately be running some mid to lower 11's. Rock falls is nick named Slippery Rock for a reason. Traction is better on the street then their starting line most of the time. Shamus cut a 1.71 as his best which is very good there. My best ever was 1.75.

Technically his car ran faster He got a 118.96 I think or whatever .03 mph faster than my fastest was

Funny thing is I wanted to win the re-match race thing and i dialed in at 12.0... ran a 12.045 but had a .33x reaction time. Ran against some moron running a 17.6 His reaction time was .12x and it ended up he beat me by .004 seconds Oh well

I probably got your time mixed up with Vassil's. So close to the 11's too. If it wasn't for the 97 degree track temp and crappy starting line, I'm sure both you and Vassil would have been well into the 11's.

.004 That is a very close race! My closest race ever was at the shootout last year with a .011 win. R/T is definately important even on a Pro tree. I did the same thing that moron did to you to Eric's car from AMS. I ran a 11.7 and Eric ran a 11.4 but I won due to a better R/T and launch.

The other crappy thing is my car according to my logger was making like 40HP less than it was the night before at the correct boost. I think it was just the heat killin it
