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.

Re: Wait to push the pedal down
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.

Re: Wait to push the pedal down
I'm a little confused, did you just hook and then run out of gear and forget to shift?

Re: Wait to push the pedal down
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.

Re: Wait to push the pedal down
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

Re: Wait to push the pedal down
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.

Re: Wait to push the pedal down
I didn't really understand that either.
So I considered the source...and just ignored it.

Re: Wait to push the pedal down
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
