Temp was low 70's and humid as hell!!!! It rained really hard last night into this morning. Today it kinda dried out but was very overcast and humid. About 30 min after we left the track, it rained.

I noticed the car kinda dropped in power in the upper rpm's just once and it was slight.... but I noticed it. I launched at about 1200 rpm's
3/4 tank of gas, temp was just under 210 degrees, front and rear tire psi was 36, rear adj shocks left at setting #6
I have never done this before, but I went ahead and raced the car exactly how it is on the street. Sure, I could have let the car cool down longer, raised the front tire psi, lowered the rear tire psi, and adjusted the rear shocks..... but I want to try a real street form approach with the T/A.... the v6 was 1/4 mile only

I took a little break - car was still around 200 when I rolled up to the line. Again, 1200 rpm launch, tire psi untouched, suspension untouched.

I'm such a newb! I went ahead and didn't look at the tree. I went ahead and tried for a 1600-1700 rpm launch.... and as I was sitting there stalling the converter... I hit the gas too hard and began spinning the tires. Light went green, I floored it and just burned the tires all through first gear, I let off near 2nd gear hoping for traction, almost had it and then layed into it again which just melted the tires through 2nd gear. I then gave up. That was such a newb mistake!
The exhaust is still hitting the floor which may cause false knock.
I have also been having the check engine light come up intermittently for P0133 and P0153 (O2 sensor circuit slow response)
