Default finally got to run on radials without breaking

got out on radials today after three consecutive trips to the track and three broken axles.i figured i was launching way to easy.so this time,i decided to launch at 7000rpm and work my way down.so first,we started lowering tire pressure until we got as low as we felt comfortable with,then made suspension adjutments until we felt comfortable and then lowered the launch a little at a time.they were about to close the track so we only got far enough to lower the launch rpm once.anyway,ran a 12.6 @128 and a 12.2 @125.the car was spinning like mad(much better than broken axles).and hitting the rev limiter about 30-40ft before the finish line.i tried to shift into 5th one time and it slowed me down.next time,we will probably raise the rev limiter 500rpm and try a little lower rpm and hopefully we can work it down to mid 11's

my best 60ft was 2.1.i tried from 20 all the way down to 11ps in the tires. we ran out of time or i think we could have gotten the 60ft down by playing with the launch rpm and low boost setting.maybe next time we can get mid 11's.
