I owe you a thanks... The short burnout and pumping of the clutch helped me get into the 1.3X sixtyfoots... Did two passes with 1.4X sixty foot and went 9.93 twice in a row... I tried a quick burnout followed by pumping the clutch like 20 times... Left at 4000rpm and it went the 1.37 sixtyfoot... I let the clutch cool and bumped the launch rpm to 4200rpm and it went 1.35 sixtyfoot but something triggered the clocks at the trap before I got there... Says I went 8.18 in the 1/4... We had a cross wind that was blowing leaves and crap on the track...

You can be like most car guys and just claim the 8.18.

Keep up the good work.

Explain the pre launch procedure.


After burn out your just sitting there in neutral pumping the clutch 20 times before lining up??

What's the reasoning for that?


Good run.
