If this is what you are doing and can't get below 2.x then check your tire pressure. May need to firm them up a little, maybe around 40-42psi. The re070's are real sticky which can lead to bogg's ville. Sunshine is usually pretty grippy as well. You need some wheel spin or else....blaaaaa.....varoom!

On the second yellow I floored it and stepped off the clutch with the "just stepped in dogshit" method. This was netting me nothing as the car bogged and fell on its face (revs dropped to ~2.5k). I decided I was letting the clutch out too fast and on the next run I slipped it a bit slower. This netted me my best time:
r/t..... .575
60'..... 2.232
1/8.... 9.984
mph... 69.71
The rest of the runs were 2.3-2.4 60' and about 10.2 1/8. Traps were consistent at 69.xx. So Im about 4 tenths off of a good 60', 9 tenths off of a good 1/8th, and 5mph off of a good trap. I bogged every run, so Im wondering what the cure is for that. I know its a common problem when first dragging the car, but what did you guys do different to get rid of it?
