This past Saturday I made it to the track PBIR, got a couple of passes. Actually dig raced this time as requested. Note that they do not line us up at the sensors so they times will very a bit.

Seems like you come out of the hole pretty slow(to clarify, it seems your reaction time was slow) but your car was running good it seemed. I've never raced by a dude dropping his arms so not sure how that works. Good job!!!

My cars an auto so I can break boost only so much without spinning, and some races were 20 rolls.

Weird how they don't use the christmas tree for accurate timing? Still though, looks like you did pretty well! looked like you beat everyone but the 5.0 mustang, which is pretty impressive.

Yea idk why they do that, s10 pulled a car right at the end, he came like a bat out of hell

You would have had that 5.0 with a quicker reaction. You ran him down and almost had him. All your runs you did a great job of representing this amazing 2.0T.

This is my first pull and last pull after the final tune

It has to be whatever event you're going to. I'm sure they have to have regular test-n-tune days where you would line up normally.

Actually, I just looked at PBIR's schedule. It looks like this is some kind of 'street racing made safe' event. You'd be better suited to hit up a regular test-n-tune on Fridays.

Looks like they couldn't get a spark signal for RPM. That sucks.

Much better! How high are you brake torquing at the starting line? With my A6 in my ATS, I can get to just over 3k, but that is AWD. If you could launch just over 3k rpm in the meat of that torque curve, you'd have a VERY good time.

I don't pay much attention to the Rpms when I brake boost but I'd assume some where around 1k

Then I'm not surprised it launches like a pooch! You need to get some air moving! The worst way you can launch a turbo car is launching it on no boost. That will make it ET really slow. Pay more attention! This is the most important part of drag racing! The other 11 seconds spent going down the track you can daydream, read the news paper, drink a coffee, but the first 2 seconds are CRITICAL!!
