I need to work on my launch better and going to put a different shifter in the car. I'm having problems with the 3 - 4 shift. Keeps wanting to come down into 2nd. The 3 - 4 gate isnt very clean when trying to row the gears fast. I just cant get the car to launch very well. I think its more me getting a feel for the car. I'm still unfamiliar with it. Second time at the track with the car.

Plus with my helmet on,.. the fox has less headroom then my SN95 did,.. so I am kinda slouched in the seat. I have some LX seats I'm going to see if they sit any lower then these leather GT seats. If that doesnt work,.. I'm going to move to a racing seat and see if I can get it to sit a little lower. I'm 6'1 and have a big block head,.. so with the helmet on,.. its not very comfortable in there. LoL. I have to reclline the seat back in order to not hit my head on the roof.

My first launch I tried to come out at 5000 and dumped the clutch,.. the result was I ended up roasting the tires. Worst launch of both nights,.. I just sat there spinning the tires. Second launch I bogged a little. Still cant get any better then a 2.0 60'.

I did how ever have my best 1/8 mile time so far. Ran a 8.24@88 mph.

Couple of vids.

This was my first and worst launch of the night,.. completely roasted the tires. Just sat there and spun. I was like,.. doh,.. wont do that again. Still trying to find the sweet spot to launch at.

Lady Hurst nick named this little Suzuki Samuri the Cricket,.. because the way he launched was like a cricket.

All in all I had a lot of fun. I saw some guys from need2speed there also. Was some pretty bad ass cars out that night. Much better then the cars out at 1320.
