Pitt **** sixty foot vids
My normal launch is around 4400 rpm with 13 psi hot, resulting in high 1.4 to low 1.5 results.
1.71 sixty was first with 15 psi cold Track temp was near 60 degrees

1.74 sixty was second with 14 psi hot Track temp was near 69 degrees
http://s895.photobucket.com/albums/a...t=M2U00743.mp4
1.78 sixty was final with same 14 psi hot Track temp was near 76+ degrees. Clutch getting worse, crept thu the light
http://s895.photobucket.com/albums/a...t=M2U00746.mp4
My buddy could not get out of the 1.6 area all day. Normal run for him is mid 1.4 sixty, 10.3 et, he was running 10.9's
My other friend hit 1.54 & 1.46 sixty for new best on 180 shot.
He hit 10.15 @ 134

Pittman you can't hear sh*t on the first 2 vids. The last video you can hear. Sounds like the RPMs weren't no where near high enough it just looked like you SLOWLY pulled out not like the car was trying to build up a lot of momentum fast. Possibly a little slow on the throttle squeaze IMO. It didnt look like you spun a lot. The first video I did see the car hopped the body up and down a lot which indicates a non linear release of the clutch IMO.

Observations:
1.71 Large amount of creep. Most-likely a mid 1.6. Looked okay. Did not look as though you blew the tires off.
1.74 and 1.78 Looked like street launches and you were racing against your buddy and not the tree. Did not look aggressive at all.
Need to get clutch worked out. Is there a pedal stop or adjustable master? If so, open up. Once clutch is fixed, come out at 4500 or so and air up the tires until you spin. (You are not bogging so that looks good.) Adjust tire pressure as necessary. Pitt, you'll get it figured out soon enough.

I looked quick, but it DID look like you crept in the 1st vid and maybe came off the clutch too fast in the 1st & 2nd vid. The 3rd vid you staged deeper, although you didn't put the top bulb out....

The vid above was a 1.47 sixty on 13psi hot. I presume the low tire pressure is killing my mph.
Here was another launch with the same clutch and with the Go-Pro but again I wasn't agressive enough. It was a 1.5 sixty that was pretty smooth... very little bog.

This was one of my last ones, 1.54 sixty with 14psi hot...little bit of bog
