I nailed it from a 20mph roll, and watched the tach shoot up as the rear end got loose, smaked the auto into second, the watched the speedo rise to 65mph very quickly as the tach shot to redline. I let off when I saw 65, and the speedo settled to 35mph.
Then, I realized that on a wet street with only fumes in the gas tank, it isn't that hard to spin the tires.
In any case, I plan to hit the 1/4 mile tonigh. The pressure is high and the temps are pleseant... should make for some desent times.

woohoo!

I was coming home from work a few weeks ago and I was going up a hill in third gear (roads were wet), I got on the gas a bit and the tires broke loose scared me pretty good cuz the back end kicked out to the side. wasn't expecting that.

Check out the reaction time on this slip. I was in the right lane.

That slip wasn't the best run of the night, but it was pretty good. Here is the best run:
.085 r/t
2.640 650'
7.707 330
11.774 1/8
60.42 mph
15.277 1000
18.241 1/4
75.90mph
What is that, low 17's with a 5speed? As always, my a4ld with the terrible gear ratios is holding me back.

I have run mid 16s on the nitrous before... but never 17's. I hope to jump to the 15's when I put the turbo on next weekend.
