It was my shittest night ever at the plex.

Let too much air out of my tyres and couldn't launch the car at all.

6000-6500rpm launches and it bogged every time. At first I thought I wasn't using the new clutch properly so I tried to slow everything down, I even drove through the water to promote some slip.

I gave up after 5 bunnyhops, I should have entered the monster truck show.

177km/hr on both runs that I held it right through to the line.

From memory that's a few k's quicker than when I ran 12.51et last year.

Yeah. Launching on the strip is very different to conventional ashphalt launchs. Can be pretty damn hard to get a smooth getaway. Even still, those trap speeds seem a tad low to me? I would have thought 280 kw get you a bit more mph.

Yeah. I would have guessed about 115mph. But there is so many variables, i dont think you could ever predict an exact figure.
