4000 rpm let clutch out quickly but Don't sidestep, keep practising until you get it right, due to different tyre types etc, its impossible to say.
-take everything practical out of the car spare wheel etc.
- lower the front tyre pressure by a couple of pounds (8-10) it will help.
-raie the rear tyre pressure by 10-15 psi to reduce drag.
-if you have coilovers make the front as soft as poss
- and the rears as hard as poss
-raise the rear spring height
-shift gears a split second before the rev limiter you need to use all the available rpm per gear
-Do not do a burnout it will overheat the tyres and make them greasy.
-let the clutch out as soon as you see the last amber light for a better reaction time. (this doesn't help much in rwyb but racing it really counts)
While at rotorstock i got to the 1/4 finals and was up against a quick supercharged ctr, his car was a good 3/4 seconds faster than mine but my reactions were almost 3/4 second faster than his. Had it not rained it would have been a close race. Even with the faster car he was nervous about racing me :wink:
Remember to keep your timeslips for bragging as only slips from pod and Shakespear are worth the paper their written on (they are the only 2 drag strips recognised by the MSA).
Cars always seem to be quicker at Crail and Elvington. :?
