yeah i know. i know where the gears are, but i think my pressure plate is slipping. cause even when i have the clutch all the way in and i switch gears, i still grind, thats how im missin a shift, takes a few seconds to fix this. mario seems to think (just over the phone) that its the pressure plate. any other thoughts?

Drevis said that you were interested in my midpipe. I'm willing to sell it for cheap since my catback is on it's way. Leave me a pm if you're interested. Thanks.

1st Run (lane 2 against white integra lane 3) (11.24PM)
1.006---reaction---.677
2.211---60 ft-------2.351
9.680---1/8ET------(inop for lane)
71.65---1/8mph----(inop for lane)
15.117--1/4ET------16.281
89.27----1/4mph---82.87
analysis: first run ever on tree; rpms not high enough; launch not good.

2nd Run (lane 2 against white vw lane 3) (11:53PM)
1.336---reaction---.733
2.174---60ft--------2.492
9.823---1/8ET------(inop for lane)
67.66---1/8mph----(inop for lane)
15.431--1/4ET------15.661
87.54----1/4mph----90.69
analysis: same as before; missed 4th gear; he physically won, i dont know how that works....

3rd Run (lane 2 against red mustang lane 3) (12:02AM)
.982---reaction---.750
2.163--60ft--------2.430
9.807--1/8ET------(inop for lane)
68.59--1/8mph----(inop for lane)
15.394--1/4ET-----16.701
87.42----1/4mph--82.88
analysis: launch started slow then LAUNCHED; missed a gear somewhere (dont remember.

Overall: i need more practice on the tree and keeping the rpms where i need to as well as slippin the clutch. but overall for a first nite, not bad. Opinions?

Dude! You really need to work on your reaction time if you wanna finish first on a race! Too bad it DOES NOT affect your E.T.! I had a match with a modified camaro which I won by .14 seconds at the finish line with a 12.61 @ 107.xxx, but he ran a 12.51 @ 113 ! I finished first because my reaction time was .25 seconds quicker than his.... to figure out who won the race you must add your ET plus your reaction time and compare it your opponents numbers, and whoever's got a lower number total wins! Note: each yellow light is .5 seconds apart, looks like you need to leave one light earlier from looking at your reaction times (.500 is perfect!)
