That was some good wheel speed you had goin there!!! Very cool vid....reminds me a little of those NHRA where they have like a 1000 frames per sec. I did say "reminds" me

Aren't vids like this why guys paint the side stripes on their slicks? Been around drag racing my whole life and never really asked anyone or heard exactly why....just assumed. To get an idea of wheel speed??

Preload question..Well I get the handbrake fully on at the line and bring the clutch to just about the biting point without slipping to much then dump the hand brake and clutch at the same time at green, I do it so quickly I couldnt tell you how long im on the biting point when I stage up.[/QUOTE]


When I tried that my 1st gear pop to neutral when I dump the clutch.
