Last night was the first time I have been out at the track with the mongoose kit, I was stoked to see what she would run! On my first pass I took it fairly easy, cleaned the tires off- but didnt do a huge burn out. I ran a 13.4 @ 108 with a 2.1 60'. I thought this was pretty damn good, because I was spinning bad coming out of the hole.
On my next pass I did about the same thing, started in 2nd gear shift into 3rd, and roll out of the burn out.... except I couldn't get it into 3rd! Nothing but grinding! I missed it, oh well it happens. I take off quite a bit harder, still spinning, but once I hit 2nd gear it hooks pretty good! I slam it into 3rd and GRIND!!! nothing, so I immediately slam it into 4rth..
On the return road I tried again to put it into 3rd and it just wouldn't let me. On the way home it would finally let me put it in, but it took some force and it makes a horrible grinding noise.
What the hell did I mess up, and how?!
I ended up running a 13.3 @ 110 w/ 2.1 60', shifting from 1,2,4..
