Wink went to track last night.

well I went to sac race way last night for the first time, well, I smoked everyone one, it was cool, my first run was against a very lose 5.0, well he told me that my a$$ was gonna be handed to me in my family car ( my S55)
well guess what, I ran 12.864 1/4 I know it was slow, but I smoked him slipped and slid off the line but cought up, and took him all the way, like I said it was my first time, going to the track, but my best time was 12.70, well hopefully I'll get better at take off, and do better times

Good to see another S55 guy putting down some good times. Since this was your first time the numbers are pretty good. Couple more times and watch the numbers drop.

My best times were 12.70 @112.581mph,which was my last run. They scrwed up the slip on the frist run but I got the time on camera it was 12.864, then I got 12.89@ 112.653mph on my second. Sorry my scanner isn't working..

A bunch of stangs, and maros, loud as hell, I mean, on my first run, against that 5.0, I thought I was gonna get smoked, since what I heard from people around the was using , I'm not sure if he was during our race or not, but he got smoked.

What do you think it could do with someone more experienced behind the wheel? Also any tips on lanching, should I launch with esp on/off? should I rev up before take off, then floor it? drive in D or M, or should I keep the car in 3rd, any pointers will help.

Don't pre-load the tranny. Left foot on brake, right foot off accelerator. Then release the brake and roll into the accelerator.

I don't remember who figured that out but it's the launch technique that seems to work best.

Roll on the throttle DON"T jam on it. Like jak said you can feel when the weight tranfers. With out esp its spins for me.
