Which track, Carlsbad or Fontana? I think the guys want to hit fontana since its not open as much, but that means carlsbad should have less people there and is quicker. For me it really does not matter since all I am looking for is to see what my trap speeds are like before I change clutchs, the clutch I have now wont hold an all out launch off the line. Should have my new Werks of Art stage 4 race coming soon.

Even if he had a much better launch(1.9) it would only have dropped his time to mid to low 14's. Which shows that there is much more to it then just a good launch. Some where during the run he is losing alot of time and most of the time that how long it takes to shift and where the shift points are. Someone that can shift .1-.2 seconds quicker will have a ET that is .3-.6 faster.
