What elevation was this at? what temp?

Either way, if you were spinning til fourth, I can say 90 % of fault is in driving skills. Sounds like either you have a really heavy foot, or really bad tires.

What was your 60' time?

Trap says how much power you're making, you should be trapping lower-mid 90s
60' is most critical to your 1/4 mile time

He's got I/H/E if I'm not mistaken so he should be in the upper ninety mph range (considering the heat). Oh and spinning 4 gears

maybe if your drag strip had a stream running across it.

Re: (ActiveAero)

I was racing at Maryland International Raceway. My last run was

R/T .628
60' 2.907
330 8.338
1/8 12.864
MPH 53.00
1000 17.353
1/4 22.0
I let off the throttle...saw gray smoke coming from back of car. Got back to Pit and smelled nothing but CLUTCH. You telling me that isnt spinning Gears? Best time that day was 14.9
I am pretty sure that i know how to drive too.

HAHAHA! I'm pretty sure you DON'T know how to drive! I think I can pedal a tricycle to the 60' mark faster than you launched!

LMAO.

Here is a little perspective for you TyPe-R6, an average 60ft time for an ITR is 2.2 on street tires.

From what I'm reading, you should first defeat your overconfidence, then try becoming a better driver.

Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying. You were burning the clutch up not spinning out.

What was your 60' on your best run.

Re: (all stock)

When you drag race, don't take off like you're leaving a police station. Rev it up and let her rip.

yes.. im sure you "think" you know how to drive. but with 2.9 60ft times... u really proove. haha sorry, not trying to be a dick.. but those are horrible.. i think my bmw bike could do better.

spinning gears.. u probably mean.. ur clutch is burnt and its not grabbing when u let off the pedal. probably got some oil on it or somthing.. time for a new clutch and driving lessons.
