14.1@103mph...why?

I am not worried about the break in at 1200 miles. I wrote 1000, but its really around 1150 before I took it to the track. So really, I guess I did it at the right time. That was the first time I ever floored it thru the gears. I really just wanted to get some launch tips, didnt want to hear from pessimistic people, but I guess all car forums are the same.

I didnt use the water pit, and I had tire spin almost every launch. I really could not figure out how to launch this car. Sometimes, I even had tire spin when I shifted into 2nd gear. So what techniques can I do to get 1.9-2.0 60ft times?

Tell me about it. And everybody wants a S/C or T/T...... the car will be downright non-driveable with street tires.

Hope the track prep is better when I get down there looking to move to San Antonio this fall or next spring
