Go and learn the car.

I am going this Friday and while I have a goal ET of 12.7 I won't be disappointed if I don't hit that target. It's been a while and I haven't launched this car yet, so I need some seat time.

I have LOTS of 17-20 second time slips from my old Mustang. If I felt I blew the launch or messed up a shift I would just coast the remainder of the track. There's no sense in using the car up if you know the run is no good. IMO, it's better to give up and run a 17.9 @ 50 mph than go down trying with a 13.9 @ 115.
