That's what I do lol when I do flashlight drags I sometimes leave VDC on because of lack of grip on a regular surface rather than a strip with many runs on it and the amount of grip in the launch section.

That's most of it. The launch is the most important part though and a bit trickier with a manual.

Yeah flubbing hard launches burned the clutch out of my old car. I'm still kinda nervous to do it in the new car.

Well you don't have to do a hard launch if you're not comfortable with it.

haaaa... who am I racing blades or YOU? how did you come into this equation...

I just like a good race, and you've done everything possible to run away from the race that you yourself hyped up lol

But it could be me if you prefer, although it was blades that you threw the gauntlet down for...

this is so sweet! they're creating a fight so they can have some make-up mantabulous frontal groin contact.

What I want to see is me vs Cody if I go the TT route. He's very likely a better driver than I am presently but I have time to practice at least.

I swear to God, if the car isn't ready because it's missing a Habi Babi shift knob...

Shift knobs and decals make everything faster. I have so many decals. If I buy a beater, I'm going to cover it in decals.
