I was even on the rev limiter way before the traps because I made it to 4th way too early and my rev limiter was set too low It will happen very soon. Best of luck to everyone else.
Congrats Brian

I broke the 2nd gear synchro on the first pass. I am going to fix it and have it back to the track for Summer Slam at Etown next weekend.

Thanks Brian. Good luck to you too! That 300' is good for an 8 second pass when you hold the RPM's a bit higher.
