haha thanks! It's not too bad to hang on, once I put some foam on the drag seat it should hopefully help hold me in a little better. Hopeful that the launch control works as I hope and I can just go up get 100% in the throttle once staged. Then all I have to worry about slipping the clutch, not being a puss and staying 100% in it and hitting a horn button 5 times to shift. Seems easy enough when thinking about it lol


You should totally get another one! Loads of fun!

Got some foam on the seat to hopefully hold me in a bit better and got some new stickers for the tail. Honesty is the best policy right? :bling:

Was a nice day in Canada yesterday so tried out the Launch Master on a closed road :seeya:

The clutch switch is pretty much right at the grip and I'm used to letting the lever out a bit when launching. Also not used to trying to hold the throttle wide open before slipping the clutch, it felt pretty weird so launches weren't all that impressive looking.


The air shifter didn't work either. Could hear the box click and the solenoid for the shifter clicked too so thinking it must be tapped into a wrong wire on the launch master harness. Think I might have fixed it last night so taking it for another spin today and see if it's actually fixed. If it doesn't work I might rip out the launch master as I'd way rather have an air shifter over a 2 step.

Been out a few times this year and can't seem to get any faster than 9.1x on pump gas. Only time I halfway had the shock setup for my fatass was this past weekend and didn't wheelie or spin but I still can't cut a good 60' to save my life.

Guessing I'm around 210ish suited so I'm sure it'd be faster if I could lose some weight but I like crappy food too much.

Got a run in against my buddy on his nitrous zx14. Only got the win light because of my good reaction time. Was a damn close race!

One nice thing with the launch master is I was cutting .0xx reaction times all day on Saturday and was pretty consistently slow in the 9.1xx range.

Any tips to get that 60' time down or things to try? I've got a 3 day race weekend coming up on June 19-21 that I kind of want to try to try different gearing and different launching techniques. Only thing is money will be kind of tight between now and then :(

You get a layoff notice at all this week?

No sir. Luckily they signed a transportation bill before the end of the regular session. Figured you'd wouldn't get one either since you gotta watch those dumb fucks
