Numbers were OK. It was very difficult. I did gain a ton of knowledge and know what to do to improve. We were spinning like crazy.

Here is the secret sauce I used:
Since we were spinning if you gave the car too much throttle the boost would come up too much and it would blow the tires off and you would loose momentum. If you gave the car too little throttle you would not gain enough momentum to run a good mph. I had to hold the throttle in just the right place to control the slip and gain the highest possible momentum. If I missed a shift point and hit the rev limiter, the car would loose momentum. You had to do everything perfect. I did this in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. I could only go wide open throttle in 5th and 6th. In all honesty, I never got it 100% on any of my runs. Once I figured out the right lane was better I only got 4 tries at the end of the day in the right lane. My first run in the right lane was a 162.7mph. My 2nd run in the right lane was a 163.5mph. My third run in the right lane was 160.2mph. My 4th run in the right lane was only a 159mph. I was done and completely worn out. I made 10 runs all together. I probably shouldn't have posted this but oh well. This is the secret on how you go about running a good MPH with limited traction.
