Just wanted to say I had an absolute blast racing at English town today.. As always a huge thanks to Rob for his mentoring.. Tom, Don, Doc, always a pleasure.. I just hope next time its a little cooler.. It was bruttle out there under the sun..

Hellllllllllllllllo 11 second club.. Now I need to figure out how to CONSISTENTLY launch this thing because im all over the place..

The rest of my launches were absolute JUNK! Even my best wasn't very good (1.77).. I think I know what I was doing wrong.. I was hessitating too much on that initial release.. Next time I race im going to launch it like I did on my first 3 passes.. A little higher tire pressure and release around 2600rpms... I felt more comfortable doing that..

BTW.. Im hooked... Whens the next race?

Check the corvette challenge website for the schedule. I believe it's sometime in September though. Pocono on 8/21 will be right up your alley though!!!!
a 1.77 60' your 1st trip out on the DR's is pretty good! Hesitating on the release would cause you to bog, not spin though...on my last pass when I ran 12.09 I launched at 2300. You should be launching much higher than I did being you were on DR's...
