Taking the Roadster to the dragstrip....advice?

MavRick

Well....I suck. I need to work on clutch 'slippage' instead of clutch 'dumpage'. Smh...

I made 4 passes. On the first 3....waaaaay too much wheelspin. So much so on one attempt...after spinning all the way to redline...I aborted the run. On my last attempt...I finally felt I got a good launch. 2.1xx on my 60 ft time. And then I missed 2nd gear. I....was....furious.

Best time ended up being a 14.1 at 98 mph. Sadder day for ol Rick. One thing that made feel better is that everyone was saying the track was 'slow'. High humidity and reading (thru some guy's app) 2840 ft above sea level.

My brother, who has a modded CTS-V wagon that is putting down over 550 to the wheels, was only able to scratch a 12.7 at 112. He should easily be trapping in the 117 area. So...other than me just being a ****ty driver...there's my other excuse. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

But it was fun. Still need to learn how to cut a good light. And maybe...just maybe....I can get comfortable enough to where my foot isn't shaking when i pull up to the tree.
