first track day....

Not so good

only one ok run i got in. 3 others my clutch ate it.

heres the stats on the one ok run.

R/T: .895 ()
60': 2.467
330': 6.547
1/8: 9.871
MPH: 73.67
1000': 12.742
1/4: 15.154
MPH: 94.26

Im decently happy since that was my first ever run this year at the track and the first time ever with that car....only other times i raced were 2 times with my aveo....NOT the same

To cheer you up. Remember, 15.2 is faster than hondas. Put cars on me.

do a search for proper shifting. The stock clutch isn't garbage. It can take a lot of abuse. I was launching at 5200rpms on slicks tonight and it held fine.

Don't shift into 2nd when still spinning in 1st. That's the main problem.
