Ok, Ok.

Are we going to have rolling starts? Cause I like rolling starts!!! :wnc:

How about if we are rolling fast enough to be 3rd gear so I don't have to worry about changing gears.

Nah. Doesn't matter, today I read about a secret weapon for people like me (who can't find the gate). It's the B & M Ripper Shifter!

This little baby will have me shaving tenths of gears changes for even quicker lap times:angel: 2nd to 3rd gear no worries even for novices like me!

That's easy. I get the track marshall to select 1st for me cause that's the one you have to find before you start moving.

All the problems come after that!!!:AAHHH:

Not a bad time & consistent with myte8's stock auto in Melb.

Looks like you could work on your reaction time (try jumping on the gas when you see the 2nd last orange light) and you need to get that 60' time closer to 2 secs to have any chance of a 13 sec pass.

Anyway, done good for 1st meeting. T3's don't really get going till they have > 20000 kms on em

Was it smoking the bags off the line?

I did 8 passes and this was the worst reaction time of the lot, i did get a .4 and .5 but the main problom was traction. Yeah it was wheelspinning for most of first gear in the majority of passes, when i tried not to nuts it off the line it bogged down. Practice and some mods will improve things considerably. One thing that could have been a factor was that i didn't light the tyres up before the runs, maybe some heat in the tyres may improved traction and times slightly. It will take me a while to hit 20,000clicks.
