My best time today was a 14.576 @ 93.31 when I used to trap at around 97. At first, the problem was a boost leak, and after I fixed that, I was having creep issues and hitting fuel cut. Add that to the wheel hop I was getting all day and I was not a happy camper. I did get one good launch (the time listed above) by leaving the line at 5000 and slipping the clutch like crazy. Any higher than that and I'd just start spinning like crazy. I guess it's time to do some more work to the car.



R/T.........0.987 (yeah, I sleep at the line)

60'.........2.002

330........5.996

1/8.........9.282

MPH........74.49

1000.......12.144

1/4..........14.576

MPH.........93.31





On the bright side (literally), at least I got a good tan.

That's Idaho, dumbass. We have corn, cows, hogs, and soybeans here. I can't start modding right away, but it'll be pretty soon. I just have to learn how to stop wasting money.
