Default I shaved some time off my best.....

My 95 was kind enough to let me race the car at Beechbend and I went from my best of 14.8 to a 14.2. I did much better on my launch.....didn't have any wheelspin problems.....Ken said I should be a little more agressive though.....my best reaction time was .818......a little faster on my shifts and I might be able to catch up with Ken :reddevil Its so addicting.......now I have to work on getting my own car :D

My first time I put too much on the gas and just started spinning.....I was afraid I was going to stall......so this time I just decided to approach as if I was just at a stop light.....did much better.....I guess the more I practice the faster my launch will get

Tracy is that right that they cannot share the car? I am sure they will pay for two tech cards and get different numbers.

Yes, Ken & Michele....if you buy 2 tech cards (one each) you can share the car. Just remember to have one first in line...and come right back to the lane for the next to run...and change the CC# on the car! :cheers:
