slipping the clutch should net even better 60FT times.... but i just suck at it. i have been practicing but it is alot harder to do that than hold down the gas and dump the clutch judge ito helped me, he basically said, YOU ARE SHIFTING WAY TOO SLOW. SHIFT FASTER. LAUNCH HARDER. etc. he yelled lots of other things to me too. those are the ones that i will never forget

trial and error works but its better to learn from other peoples mistakes. i drove my friend nof's FD... he couldn't do better than a 14 one day at the track. he got pissed so he left me have one run. i ran 13.6 after that he got pissed and ran a 13.6 also. encouragement also helps

Ito sounds like a funny guy! I need to get up the our local strip on the test and tunes days...what do you pay at your local track to run, can you run as many times as you want? Wait in line typa thing?

I made like 17 runs that day, and strangely enough my 2nd run was the best (although by only .004 seconds to like my twelfth run).

It's HORRIBLY inconsistent when you're running with a stock mount intercooler.. or any intercooler in general I guess..
