In order. Bear in mind it's my first ever 1/4 mile and I'm useless at launching. First one seemed to go well, though I short shifted first and span a bit in second (other car was a Skyline).
Second run was better, but once again launching the car is my weak point. Span first up quite a bit and second only just gripped (other car was a Supra).
Last run was abysmal. My ECU decided that it would give me zero power for about a second before the exhaust made an almighty bang and I was off. The time isn't bad considering the poor start (other car was a standard DC5).
I enjoyed myself today, 1/4 mile is good fun. It's very hard to remember what you did and how you can improve. The bit between waiting for the lights and finally getting into 3rd/4th is over in an instant.
Think I'll stick to tracks from now on, corners excite a lot more.
Video coming later...
