vs. STi; Cobra; SS/SC

fun trip to the track! no bragging here, just a read for ya...

vs. STi = i won by 3 cars. But the guy just got it and didnt have a clue how to race it. still cool to win though...

vs. Cobra = won one, lost one. i reacted better and got a better launch on the 1st race, so i was able to hold the lead. the cobra was slightly faster in the 1/8 mile, but i could tell that the 1/4 mile would be another story. i think his second gear was better, but my 3rd is sick so i started catching up pretty quick in the one where i lost. 1/8 is too damn short.

vs. SS/SC = of course it was close, i had him by about 1/2-1 car length, but the times were my 9.508 to his 9.588. the second race, my foot caught on the carpet and i rode the clutch too much and it just gave out. couldnt go anywhere... why are our clutches so damn sensitive?

anyway, just wanted to share...

best time ever is a 9.2, but at this track i could only pull off a 9.43. i let air outta my tires for the first time and i really didnt like it. is it supposed to actually help, because i peeled out worse than when i have reg. air pressure in the tires.

Not bad times. 28psi in the tires seems to do good.
