with my 60' i knew before i even ran that it would be bad. I wasnt just launching off idle and even then, at around 4k id just loose traction.

I saw in a few runs i was shifting out of first at only 4k, mainly due to tirespin, then i was doing the 2-3 shift at like 5k. I was really paying attention to my shift light i guess. A few times i spun it up to 6500 and i could feel it pulling much harder then, but when id shift after that id have instantly no traction.

i'll post a pic of my tires shortly so you can understand what i was working with. But the 113.48 MPH still makes me laugh, if i did 2 more runs or so, i think i could have done 115.
