all of the timeslips get posted in my original post, so dont worry about them being missed. when people add them, i save them, and then re-post them in the very first post.

Alright, got done running this weekend at the track, trying to verify my 13.64 run. I wasnt able to beat that time but got pretty close...
At the start of the day (first 3-4 runs) I tried using 25psi, but my tires would grab too quickly and bog the motor down to around 3K... NO POWER sucked. I had to launch at 8000 to prevent the bog. that didnt workout too well, I kept getting 14.0, 14.1, 13.9... no good. So I filled the tires up to 35psi and bam.. I got a 13.77, 13.76, and a 13.70.
I really really need new tires! It was hard to find the correct balance between good traction & good launch speed.

How much does the 60' effect the 1/4? Something is wrong with my alignment and I am having troubles launching. Way too much camber, my back end even slides out really bad when I shift into 2nd so you know I slide around on a launch. Anyways, I got a 2.5 60' and a 14.3 1/4. How bad does the 60' change your 1/4?

Also if your doing a 2.5 60ft, you really need to work on your throttle work. a 2.5 would indicate that your keeping your foot way too into it, or launching way too high for your car. Lower to tire pressure to about 28-30 and see what happens. But you've gotta be able to feel the traction point with your foot... then floor it!

For those who have a fair amount of experience drag racing your S2000, when you launch the car at say 6000 rpms and side step the clutch, are you:
1. Keeping the gas pedal in the same position when you reached 6000 and dumped it
2. Letting up on the gas pedal
3. Feathering the gas pedal (slowly applying more gas)

you should be flooring it. you feather the gas if you have too much wheelspin
