Alex,

Thats a great 60' time. What was the "new launch technique"?

I sent you PM a few days ago re: shifting techniques. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Craig

Thanks man

I'm getting closer and closer to your 60 foot.. I figured it out and man it certainly got crazy there on the next one as I launched off of too much boost and just started heading towards the wall... It sure is funny seeing an AWD car light it up like that tho.

Gonna go back with fresh plugs and try some more!

Heya bud...

Lemme look back there! Sorry about that, I get too many PM's and sometimes when they come in at the same time it doesn't remind me of the other one

New technique involved:

Stalling her up to 3.8K and holding to .5-.6bar and then releasing the brakes etc... I tried at .8bar but it was just too much.

I actually used to stall for less time and let her go.
