Re: Beginner Racing Questions.
Yeah, yeah...but I'd almost bet that if he played with his shift points some he would pick up both ET and MPH. He was spinning the tires when shifting manually, which means the power is there but he's just not hooking it. When he let the trans do the shifting it was probably short shifting, thus no tire spin. Of course, this could work the complete OPPOSITE way (shifting way past power peak) but I really doubt he was twisting it that hard. Letting the trans do the shifting would add a measure of consistency, though.

Re: Beginner Racing Questions.
Rob I am not going to give my car or myself any real credit. I don't even know what the hell I am doing or how I did what I did as it is! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Keep in mind that the tires I have are L60 15's, These are some big meats that are 10" wide! Imagine what you could do with meats on your Yenko that size instead of those skinnies.

Re: Beginner Racing Questions.
That is part of the attraction, make the most of what the factory gave you and make it hook! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

Re: Beginner Racing Questions.
Rob the same day I was at the track my buddy was with me. He is the RIGHT driver. He was racing his 2001 Camaro Z28 6 speed. The car is stock with the exception of a couple of bolt on's which include an SLP Loud Mouth cat back exhaust system, MAF sensor, K&N air filter, Whisper Air box, & Linginfelter intake. The car is otherwise bone stock including the tires, gear, & no headers.
This was only his second time at the track as well as mine. We both went the first time together last year. This kid can drive! One of the funniest moments in my life was when we were street racing with a BMW and he power shifted so hard that he literally ripped the shifter knob right off and it hit the back window. We nearly got into an accident we were laughing so hard! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]
