Practice.

My first time out I was horrible. Hard to find a good launch point when you put down 300+ ft/pounds from 2,000 RPM's on.

Re: Might go to a track on Sunday

I kinda thought i would start off without reving over like 1500 or 2000. not sure I should go out and play before I go. But like I said not even sure if I will race. It starts at 8 am and i dont even get off work at the ambulance untill 8 am on sunday. Drive time is like one and a half hours. So might not be cost effective for me to race....

Re: Might go to a track on Sunday

I was supposed to be racing tomorrow as well.
But I might have to wait a couple days.
I need to figure out a way to pull the wheel studs through the hub on the front.
The problem....the hub spins freely when you start wrenching on it.

Re: Might go to a track on Sunday

do you have a hub puller? maybe you could remove the hub and take the studds off easier with it held in a vice or something.

Re: Might go to a track on Sunday

when i've worked on cars with friends we just had someone sit in the driver's seat and push the brakes. and on the cars with linelock we just did like you did, put it on.

i remember my friend being worried when we put him in the driver's seat then raised the car on a lift, not sure why he was scared though.

old video but probably still my favorite. CASPER!!! oh yeah, which album does long walk to jail come on? I can't find it.

adds: When it ran, I turned the volume up on the video so everyone could hear the engine. I feel like doing it again.
