An LSD goes a long way, even if it's just a VSLD

Frank, in the 2 runs that I saw him, was very consistent. 12.89X and 12.90X.

Shahid ran a 13.1XX for his first run, then this 14.4XX

I think it was less Shahid's fault so much as lacking an LSD, in this case. Although Frank was just rolling out of the box - he wasnt even launching lol.

nice if he wasnt trying to launch hard then he should be able to run a tenth or so faster if he can find the sweet spot for rpm/wheel spin and get out of the hole a bit faster.
