I was doing ok, nothing spectacular. Mostly just messing around trying to figure out the best rpm to launch at. Had to leave early though before I could get a really good time.

Though it did annoy me that the announcer kept calling my car a 350Z

It's all because you didn't have the confidence to launch the car right

Ha! Actually, my quickest times at MIR were with VDC left on. Allowed just the right amount of wheelspin off the line without bogging down (still... 2.20 60ft times aint nothing to be proud of )

Yeah, I'm sure that extra wind drag with the windows open killed your time into the 15's

No that was a 13.5 run, but it may have been my best of the day if I had left the windows up.

Blades, I am not highjacking the thread, I promise; but has anyone adjusted their clutch to engage earlier?

I didn't like the way the clutch engages at the top of the stroke, so I adjusted it to engage about 1" from the bottom. This feels extremely natural and shifts are much smoother and quicker.

Since the clutch is engaging earlier and you are shortening the stroke distance, this may possibly knock off a tenth or so, just a thought.
