Wait to push the pedal down

Until you are ready to shift.

First pass on some tires that hook and honestly it caught me off guard.

Really short.
Just figured you guys could get a laugh at my expense.

Shit happens. Now you know what to expect.....

don't take it so bad, it's just telling you that you need more power.

it's like a rule, you need enough power to be able to screw up, then destory the competition to show you're not beaten.

Mr. Luos · 10-26-2006, 09:59 PM

I have outdone that several times now. Just thought maybe you guys would like a laugh.

Nate355RS · 10-26-2006, 10:12 PM

I'm a little confused, did you just hook and then run out of gear and forget to shift?

Mr. Luos · 10-26-2006, 10:27 PM

I clutched in right at the launch. Got off the line and it caught me off-guard.
Foot went down...on the clutch pedal.

Just a video to laugh at me.

Ahhhh, I see now, I thought you were talking about the gas pedal

. Oh, well it looks like you had more than enough to come back on that other car, I couldn't get a good look at it, what was it anyways?

That was good for a little chuckle, I could only imagine what it would feel like to take off like that, my car just spins

Mr. Luos · 10-26-2006, 10:47 PM

If the track was any longer, I would have passed him.
That was the worst run I have had since the swap. Not the slowest trap though.
He got me by a tenth though. I was going quite a bit faster than he was crossing the traps though.

I think it was a fastback Mustang.

I wish I could say I have done that in my Formula to make you feel better but auto

. However if when my auto forget to shift into any gears when I killed makes you feel better then there you go

right, that was not english.

Mr. Luos · 10-28-2006, 06:47 PM

I didn't really understand that either.
So I considered the source...and just ignored it.

That was funny, but you'll know next time....hopefully.

Mr. Luos · 10-29-2006, 11:54 AM

That was the first pass I ever made on those tires.
I have since gone 1.67x short time on them and ran 11.97.

Yeah, 20 minutes of sleep in the past 24 hours will make you post like that

Mr. Luos · 10-29-2006, 12:29 PM

Go to bed.
