LOL, not sure how to take this. I will not hit low 11's, at least highly unlikely.
Learning about shifting, this should be a given with seat time 
I will try my best. |

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
lol, don't take anything I say the wrong way, I give a lot of shit but I'm here to help.
Be more confident, but being realistic is good too. I say that you will learn a lot about shift points because I know I did I picked .3 secs and did a lot better on the street.
Take your dyno sheet with you, shift so u fall back to max tq. and go from there.
Good luck.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
Forgot to update this but I saw a ton of new people step up and hit the track at the MAP event at BIR! I got Trevor hooked on autoX and myself hooked in drag racing, that's for sure!
Anna and I are registered for the August 8 MNautoX Test & Tune at DCTC!

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
Me god willing...I have two goals for my car this year, well three if you count having it running again.
One, make the 28th mitsu cookout and two make a strip of some kind, BIR or Rockfalls, don't care. I feel cheated as I didn't make it to the strip last time due to technical difficulties.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
Rolling launches ftw! C'mon lomker you know you wanna try it!
Well let's narrow in on some dates, let's get a crew to get out together. IDK if we need to caravan or whatever but it'd be cool to hang at the track together and maybe video tape each other!

That's the beauty of motorsports...there are so many of them.
I can't wait until Winter when schedules start getting hashed out for next year. I want to get to Road America, Blackhawk Farms, a BMW car control class, maybe that Evo Experience in Cali. Definitely the MAP weekend next time.
It kinda took me this year just to figure out what would be worth doing for next year. |
