I'm a bad dragracer :(

But still won:P

First race: Me vs. 2004 accord w/ 127hp (rofl)
Reaction:
1.029
1.341

60'
evo - 2.076
honda - 2.898

mph
92.47
76.26

ET:
14.474
18.513

Not so bad, I sucked at the launch. second time was vs. a 2003 chevy "SS" truck

reaction:
me: 1.220
truck: .713

60':
2.419
2.537

trap:
99.52
87.85

ET:
14.690
16.102

I missed the third gear shift on BOTH accounts, which is why I have low trap speed. BUT.. I can't launch worth a damn. I tried one at 5000-5400 with letting off the clutch til the car started to take off them dumped it, hard shifting, missed third.. got third.. then a little of 4th

second time I launched at 5,500rpm and basically dumped the clutch.. but didn't floor it in time so it slightly bogged. I smelled clutch on BOTH times. Any experts wanna tell me what ET I should have with 100mph trap speed? and if I didn't miss third?

I did a slip at 3k and did a perfect launch with no bogging but there was clutch smell afterwards. Be prepared to purchase a new clutch soon.
