Thanks everyone. Really...
The list of people I owe thanks to is long...
Marc, Nick, Rob, Gary, Tommy, for taking the time to teach me about launching and driving.
Fartpipe, Pittman, Kurt, Blu, Ernie, Marshall, Dave, Ellis, Edgar, Farley, and many other residents of this section for the encouragement.
Dave, for being the first guy to take me to the track and getting me addicted.
Andrew, Marc, and Dave, for helping me work on my car.
Juan, for wantig to get rid of a perfectly good diff with 4.10s.
Doug, Chris, Mike at ECS for setting it up and the tuning.
And, of course, Jon, for giving me a goal... LOL
This post is sounding a little ghey, like an academy award acceptance speech...
Sorry.

Yours truly took Pete's PB vid...I'm sure he will be posting up soon. But you might want to take some dramamine before watching it. You'd think we were having a major earthquake during the run.

It's interesting for me to see the videos. I felt a little bog on my launch, but in the video it seems more pronounced.
I launch at 5000 rpm. I've tried 6000 and just spin the tires. I'm going to change that next time out and see if I can get a 1.5xx 60' maybe 5400rpm or so will work. Sure would be easier to use a two-step

Keep working on it. Little changes at a time
