Track finally opened. Here now. Racing will start any minute.

I made 5 total passes. Here is my slip from my best pass. 1 good pass and 4 passes that I managed to find some way to screw up. LOL.

Premium - PP - Auto
Mods - LMS Tune - Set of Vibrant 2 1/4" straight thru mufflers

No boost launch. Just pulled up. Trans in DRIVE. RACE mode if I remember correctly. I staged and stabbed it on green. I let it shift on it's own as if I was driving on the street. 1/4 tank of gas.

I was there and met mtpavelka -- I got three good runs in, but my issues are due to bad launch technique -- 60ft's are good, but I don't know how to control the car's shifts yet.

Pass 1: 13.9 @ 100mph. 2.1 60ft. Babied the car, first pass. Rolled into the throttle from a stop. Accidentally shifted manually so it went 1-2-3 almost instantly...
Pass 2: 13.3 @ 102.11mph. 1.85 60ft. Good run, but once again the shifts were off due to me shifting manually...
Pass 3: 13.5 @ 102mph. 1.995 60ft. Launched at 2k -- spun a lot, car shifted into 2nd at 4k... killed my time.
Pass 4: 13.4 @ 103mph. 1.91 60ft. Launched at 1600.. spun less, car still shifted into 2nd at 4k... killed my time again.

Once I figure out how to launch the car and keep the tranny in the gears I want, I estimate with teh combination I have, I could run a low 13/very high 12 @ around 104-105mph. None of my runs were perfect. Only got 4 in due to a lot of people and NHRA people/kid dragsters...
