Took my Z to the strip and learned that I have no clue what I'm doing. First run I got red lighted. Not sure how since I didn't leave till the third light went out. My buddy says he think it is cause I rolled backwards (the strip is up hill). Second run I try holding it by slipping the clutch. That was not such a great idea, when i took off i believe it had heated up and when i shifted to second it slipped horribly. The third and final run I used the e-brake to hold me and dropped it as I let off the clutch. All three launches were horrible, way to much wheel spin. This was my first time ever so it was definately a learning experience and my times did improve slightly. I think next time I may try leaving traction control on though. Here is probably the worst time slip ever on this forum with a 370: RT: 1.345 60': 4.184 Speed: 69.87 660': 13.124 Speed: 92.70 ET: 18.470 I need to learn how to get off the line. The guy beside me ran a 15.968 at 88.5 so with the speed I should have at least been low 15s. Guess I need to get more practice.
