Well.. all I can say about my driving today.. it sucked!! Today was my first time ever racing anyone and ever racing on a drag strip.. This is a 1/8 of a mile strip.. My car is bone stock, expect for my newly installed M2 intake box and C's short shifter.. I used my Pirelli(sp) P8000 street tires with stock wheels.. That damn tree thing screwed me up bad my first try.. I didn't even get a slip for that one. I couldn't understand how it worked until I was up in the stands watching all the pro dragers.. so.. that may have contributed to my sucky times.. My 60'ers really sucked..
Here's the slip.. but my dumbass can't figure out how to magnify it..

Your RT doesn't effect your times. Next time try launching at a higher rpm. If you got the ***** to do it, you can even try the Vosko 7k launch. I had the best luck with my AE launching around 5k. And I had good luck just dumping the clutch. Feathering it would give me shitty 60', and the yummy smell of toasted clutch.
