First time to the track with the Z
I was hoping for better times, but couldn't get a good launch with the stock goodyears. On almost all of my launches that day, i had some pretty bad wheelhop off the line so i had to let off of it a little. I wasn't about to come home on a flatbed like some other people already done that day..
here is a timeslip and a video of that past..

As you can see, my friend got me hard off the line since he had some sticky tires on his ride, but I was happy in my cars performance as I pretty much walk him down at the finish line, even though technically he still beat me.

Not bad for your first time out. It takes practice. Get to the track as much as possible and you will get it where you want to be.
