I did it at Heathcote just before christmas.There is a thread about it somewhere... not sure where though...Jack <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ok shazzy

Remember? Ah... that's right...Silly me, it's not here, it's somewhere else... (opposition) anyway, it happened just as I started the burnout on the water, then bang, broken car.Be careful when you do the burnout... but other than that you should be all good!Jack

This creates aerodynamic drag. But I am sure he has more experience at the track than I do...As for technique, my stock 6spd pulled a 13.8@98 with a 2.0 60 foot time. Launching involved 3000RPM and then feathering the throttle off launch.

I thought that the ability to hear the engine would over come the time lost through the extra drag of the open window. When Shaz has more experience and doesn't need to hear the engine as much I'd recommend having the window up too. If it's open more than a crack the officials will notice and ask you to put it all the way up.Nice imput and it's all these little things that will hopefully make it easier for those venturing to the track. :titwave: Geea.
