100m is 300ft.

From my experience with G-tech, they always show higher trap speed. So, that's why you got same trap speed as I did.

You should take your car to the real track and test it there smile.gif

Shifting:
1st to second 6200rpms
2nd to 3rd 6000rpms
3rd to 4th 5900 rpms

Launch at about 2200-2450 rpms, depending on your tires, by feathering the clutch, don't just dump it.

If you have a G-tech pro then most likely times are very close to what they are suppose to be. Regular g-techs might give weird numbers sometimes. You should definitely take your car to the track man.

Feathering the clutch is a hard technique, but will give you good 60' times once you learn how to do it properly.

Here is what I do:

Give gas and hold rpms up at 2100-2450 dependint on your tires. The put it in 1st and start releasing the clutch up until you feel you are moving a tiny bit. Press the clutch a tiny bit, so you will stop moving. Once the light turns last yellow, you release the clutch a little bit and press gas half way down or so, you should feel your clutch slipping a little bit, but you will already be moving, once you feel that you got traction and you are moving release the clutch completely and floor it.

Let me know if you got anymore questions.

To me drag racing is art man.

I'm not that good of a driver to be driving a formula car man smile.gif Need a lot more practice to be on the level of those drivers.
