so I did some practice launches right now. Tried different ways... and well here is a list of ways.... oh and one thing when I first attempted and every other try after the rpms wouldn't go passed 2k. Is that normal?

1st try: kept at 1500rpm and let it fly doing some peeling out but tried to keep it to a minimum

2nd try: revved it at 2000rpm and tried going more but stayed there... light turned green and I floored it and the car jumped rolled some then starting going with a some burn out

3rd try: revved at 1800rpm and launched it and the tires peeled then car felt like it wasn't really going that fast then it hit 4k rpm and sputtered than started to fly down the road and got up to 70mph really quick with me trying to keep my head from going into the back of the seat.

for some unknown reason I couldn't go passed 115mph the other night. Before I could get to 125 and keep going but that doesn't really matter cuz I won't be going that fast lol

so I went to the track tonight cuz I was hoping vince would be able to datalog with me but I couldn't get a hold of him and he never returned my email. so.... I did four runs datalogged and while I type is loading up so I can email them to vince so he can take a look at them.

On the way home the car was doing something it never did before... while cruising at 70mph it seemed the engine was.... lets see how can I describe it.... it was having hic ups I guess would be best way to describe it or... I know this sounds funny but rofl make the sound of a car while its going down the road at a steady speed and then do like your gonna gag. That would be another way to describe it lol.... yeah I know I fail at explaining lol
