Default My track footage

The vid

2nd time @ the track, first time with new setup. car was previously an auto, and this was 2 weeks after getting the conversion. that would explain my slow shifts, but also shows that i'm not that bad of driver either. it was threatning lightning within 5, which is why they shut down the scoreboards...but then they turned them on later after we made most of our runs. all 3 runs were pretty neck and neck, basically we're both pretty slow lol

also these runs shown were before i lowered my tire pressure, the last launch was pretty good i guess

comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. i have nowhere to go but up @ this point....

what are you 60 foots? 16 is horrible. we need to help your driving skills out. but hey not everyone can hop in a car and run good times some learn faster than other. all it takes is practice. find an open secure road and try finding that sweet spot

Don't worry your still new to the game. Not everyone can just get in a car and be the next john force. Someone needs to put that camera on a stand or something. I felt like I was in an earthquake.

Best way to learn shifting is get a slow car and go drive around the highway in rush hour traffic getting on and off every exit. You have to shift fast just to try to keep up. I see you already have the slow car part(j/k) my car of choice was a metro.

I left at the green light to grab a coke from the kitchen and made it back in time for the end of the race
