Default Re: Beginner Racing Questions.

Wow guys thanks! Guys like I said this is only my second time ever at the strip. Rob as far as the shift point, durring this particular run the M40 shifting it's self. I tried to shift the car manually but the darn thing spun for the first half of the runs. When I was taking off from the tree when I was doing the manual shifts I was shifting at 5500-5600 rpm. The rear tires that are on the car are the reproduction Mickey Thompson S/S Indy Profile L60 15's. the fronts are Wide Oval 14X7. When I started out in regular drive and let the trans shift itself, man the car had taken off unlike any time I remember. It was like a sling shot. I actually felt it in the pit of my stomach which was weird since this car isn't a High compression LS6, L72, or L78. After talking to you guys I am pumped about going back out there to race again! Thanks a million! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]
