Ocala, Fl Wannagofast 1/2 mile event, Oct 19th and 20th.

The secret sauce is spot on. I was launching at an rpm that almost stalled trying to avoid spin, second and third were pedaling and even 4th trying to roll in was still spinning. I missed shift 2 times and grinded a gear once and in each of those situations it was a wrap as far as making it up. There was really no room for a mistake. The difference and mistake I think I made was trying to let traction control do the work. It did get me from 148 to 151 going from 20% to 100% but I think if I had dropped it to 0 and did butter soft launches and modulated till I could WOT it , I would've picked up a few mph. I also wish I could've used my Map 4 but I'm still happy with what happened because now I know. And we're all old enough to know "G.I. Joe" said "Knowing is half the battle. "

Back pedaling a high torque motor is an art form. Not many can do it properly.

It wore me the Fudge out. If I would have calmed down and ran only one last time instead of 2 I may could have pulled it off.

Don't feel bad. I missed one shift from 2nd to 3rd and another one I went from 2nd to 5th. I have no idea how I did that. LOL I still ran a 152mph though. You asked me earlier in the day and I told you I just drove the car with no traction control. I had to think about how to tell you how I did it.
