NA Race Results

[LordWorm]

I've tried slipping the clutch off the line, but it seems to be slower for me. I've had my best results simply "almost" dropping the clutch from about 3800. I slip the clutch for just a split second then dump completely. Maybe I just need more practice finding the balance though because I've heard from several people that slipping and keeping the revs high is the way to go.

I use the e-brake to keep my car from rolling and triggering the light, but I'm not brave enough to destroy my clutch by preloading the suspension and driveline with it.

it is a question of practice. Clutch slipping is exactly what the pros spend hours setting up on their cars. Mind you, their clutches are "set" to slip - so they just pull the trigger and the clutches lockup sequentially providing the slip they need.

Preloading does help quite a bit but wont do much if you are not slipping. Preloading will reduce any sudden shock against the drive line - sure it might hurt the clutch but a hurt clutch is better than a hurt gearbox - if your tires hook up hard and you have enough power to do any damage, the G series box will fall over like a house of cards. Seen it happen on far stronger boxes. Of course at most test and tunes the track is barely prepped so it wont generally be sticky enough to be a problem.

get out there and practice - ignore the tree while practicing...reaction time means nothing at a test and tune - the timer wont start until you roll the beams, so wait for the lights to count down, get relaxed, and concentrate on launching. Once it is second nature, start playing the game on the tree.

Thanks for the info.

I'm trying to find a secluded section of road that I can practice my 60' using my performance meter. The guy I bought it from used it for that same purpose. I'm actually suprised at how accurate this thing can be. Next time I'm at the track, I plan to dial in the settings til I'm getting the same times on my meter as the readout from the track.
