Thanks guys!!!
I was wondering to about the tires, it seems that alot of people are runnin 285's at the track. The elevation i'm not sure of, sotp tell me its not much above sea level like back at home, it was at memphis motorsport park TN, maybe somebody on here knows. I also tried 2nd gear starts but got a bad feelin after about it, my down shifting into 2nd and 1st was really rough after the runs, is this a concern? i was about 3 tenths slower but i don't think i was boosting high enough, scaarrrrrred i quess, oh yeah almost forgot, "has" or "is" anybody else suffering from the "fttd syndrome" lol (First Time at the Track Daze Syndrome) this is when you start staging and all you can do is grip the steering wheel, your foot starts pushing down the pedal you can't hear anything, the lights seem to be 10 miles away, you can't hardly tell what color they are, your gauges all read 100mph and the only thing you remember is "green" means go? lol lol
therefore i can't really give much detail on what happened on what run. maybe next time!!!
