So, went to Eastern Creek dragway last night...mixed result.
ran 10.96 @ 127mph
Had two runs....
First run the launch didnt feel clean so I got off it and braked at 3/4 track (to keep above 11.00)....ran 12.1 @ 69mph..(we get booted under 11.00 without a rollcage in Australia)
Second run launch felt good so I stayed on it....
Looking at the data in my Vbox I should have stayed on it in the first run..it was running strong at 7.0 @ 103mph half track and my 0-62mph was 3.0 sec ...second run was 3.2 sec
Looking at the video below you can see that the car actually bogged when shifting into second. Its hard to tell but 1st gear was all wheel spin (I had an aggressive 4000rpm launch map) I shifted at the rev limit but because of the wheel spin the vehicle speed was not there and she bogged...(the tacho goes as low as 3000rpm after the shift).
The bogging down probably cost me 2-3mph and a few tenths.
