lots of issues off the line, never did put together a clean pass, maybe soon, also these shakedown passes were lifting to shift

2nd-4th looked great.......the launch and 1st you were obviously having issues. What tire setup are you running? What rpm are holding 1st to?

with the spinning and bouncing, who knows, it's all a blur

Are you shifting into 5th? That 1-2 shift looks bouncy. Congrats on finally making it to the track. I think you were waiting a while for a clutch or something. What did you have before?

no, winding out 4th. you might have been counting a shift when I was actually backing off the throttle to stop the wheel spin and getting back on it.

same clutch, just needed it freshened up, tilton twin carbon

10-4. Time for some new tires. You are spinning like crazy.

I think the tires are capable, but I might need to do a longer burnout and possibly try some different tire pressures, it's at 15psi right now.

What rpm and boost are you launching off of? Perhaps some adjustments to the 2step would help you launch with a little less torque so the tires can play catch up better.

7000rpm, not sure about the boost, could try less time on the 2-step
