Rained out

 

lol, that's what you get for calling everyone "suckas".

 

damnit, i paid $45 to enter and it gets rained out.....figures

 

I was there but i wasnt gonna enter cause i knew the rain would suck.. I saw a few evo's running.. Times kinda were bad but i dont know what 60' you guys were getting.. looked like a lot of bogg outs.. What happened??

I didnt see one evo 8 run in the 13's even.. while i was there at least.. 11 til 2ish.. (rain) Saw 2 fast DSM's .. timmy in the silver GSX(shaved tail) and that older evo 7 or whatever it was.. 11's.. nice runs guys..

 

Yeah, that was really weird. I was running low 14/s and the other evo's were running like high 14's all the way up to high 15's. I think it could have been the moisture in the air, but thats just me. I usually run low 13's. I was confused.

 

What kinda 60' were you getting cause it looked like major bog on every launch.. not just anyone particular.. like EVERY AWD.. track super sticky or something wierd???

 

my best was a 2.0 that day. My best ever there was only a 1.9.....i dont get it, ive tried everything: raising rpm's lowering rpm's dropping clutch, slipping clutch, everything, but all i get is 1.9.

 

Are you boggin out when you launch still?? What RPM are you launching at? Usually you will need to launch @5000 and slip the clutch a bit. Its something you have to get used to for sure. Not easy by any means til you get the feel. 1.7ish will be a good run for you to shoot for.

 

Thankgod I'm not the only one who was pissed about their low 13.9 - 14.2 times. Especially at stage 2 from AMS. 400hp. Granted I bogged every launch.. but still.. I didn't expect it to be that high.

 

I figured when i was there watching. Didnt enter due to possible rain, but i didnt even see one 13 ANYTHING while i was there from 11-2. Launch was killen most all the times i thought from the view i had.

Anyone miss shifting or something??

 

nope....no missed shifts. I think it was all launching problems. Im still learning how to launch with the act clutch. I could launch with the stock clutch just fine, but this one grabs much harder.
