Well, I decided to enter after all.

I read through the thead and read that some of y'all were launching in second gear, and that helped me alot. What gave me trouble was to the topp of second, once I got to around 7K I started blazing tires, so i think I lost alot of my time trying to reduce that. And it seemed the more I tryed to tune it, the worse it got for me.

In the end I got a Dismal time of.....

11'382
 
I was starting in third when I did it, for what it's worth. I'm sure I could dip into the 10.1s with more time.
 
Bah, 10.616 without a FC Tranny or a Racing Suspention. I'll find some more time next week. I had all of ten minutes for this one. :(


Cheers,

What I did is I added more downforce and weight until that went away. Then I fine-tuned the gears.

Looks like I won, settings and results will be up soon.

I doubt the bound/rebound/toe did anything really but they didn't slow the car down.

As for strategy: start in second gear at 95% throttle, and as soon as you can go full throttle. Shift at 8250 into third, and around 8150 or so into fourth and fifth.
 
congrats for your win.👍

I don't know either. I was running 180 pounds as you can see but it doesn't make that much of a difference from running 200. Tranny setup only lowered my time by .2 - so the key must be the way you are starting off. Nearly full power starting in second gear, and quickly go full power. Shift around where I told you to. That should get you close to my time.

Thank you :)
 
Sorry I wasn't able to you a time. I'll try next week then. :)
I am sorry though.

Laters,
