Well, I've got 2 weeks left before heading to Quanitico for training so I thought I'd better take my new car down to the track before I go. It's a 91 LX hatch, 306 and a T-5 Z. I've had it about 4 weeks, and that's about how long I've been driving stick
So we get down to the track and the first run was crap.... 18.48 mostly cause I launched at around 2500 with tires the consitancy of butter. And no, I didn't go through the waterbox. That plus I missed 3rd.
Second run was my best, eased into it from about 1500 and again missed 3rd, just not by so much. Cut 2 seconds to a 16.65
Third one sucked the worst, for the love of christ I could not get it into 3rd... again. Me and third gear don't get along very well under strain apparently. Anyways... 19.38
Overall I'm, well, satisfied, not very happy cause I thought I'd do better and I broke my new sunglasses on the way up there, but for driving a stick for only a little over a month and not roasting the clutch in that time.... I give it about a 'meh'
