so i went to the track tonight over in bithlo (orlando) and raced my tc for the first time. just as i expected i would run mid 16s and the cooper beat me of course. we ended up racing both times in a row...what a coincidence. and both times i had a better launch and 60 foot, but after about 30 mph his supercharger went woooosh and left me about 4 or 5 car lengths behind by the time we finished. i have my timeslip...actually left it in the car...but too lazy to get it, but i will post it on here when i get the chance, but just for an idea the times were something like this......

my tc: 1/4 mile: 16.4
mph: 84
60' : 2.4

cooper s: 1/4 : 15.7
mph: 91
60' :2.5

this was only my 1st time so i know i could do better maybe get a really low 16 next time, but launches are my weakness...but so you all know i launched at about 2500 rpm and shifted just about every gear at 5800 rpm

next time i go ill prob launch at about 2200, shift past 6000 rpms and maybe i should do a little burn out too to warm the tires up...

i would greatly appreciate any tips!

i squeezed some time to get the slip and take a pic of it, it came out kinda blurry but if you have good eyes u can see it with a little bit of effort
