	well, took the Cobalt SS/SC to the dragstrip yesterday, just to get a baseline on what the car can and can't do. Off the line, the car did pretty much what I knew it was going to do... Spin spin spin through 1st and into 2nd. Middle of 2nd and into 3rd really pulled the car out to a high trap speed at the end despite the shitty time. I got 4 good runs in and then got the clutch uber hot and had it slip bad on the final run. At that point, I called it a day. So... by the numbers: First Run: Car #: 587 Reaction: .138 I1: 2.587 (60ft) I2: .000 I3: 10.321 (1/8th mile) I4: .000 ET: 15.661 @ 92.296mph Second Run: Reaction: .368 I1: 2.616 I2: .000 I3: 10.350 I4: .000 ET: 15.632 @ 95.149mph Third Run: Reaction: .221 I1: 2.767 I2: .000 I3: 10.676 I4: .000 ET: 16.029 @ 94.013 Fourth Run: Reaction: .600 I1: 2.627 I2: .000 I3: 10.230 I4: .000 ET: 15.472 @ 95.895 Fifth and Final Death Run (Clutch overheated and started slipping BAD) Reaction: .353 I1: 2.954 I2: .000 I3: 13.047 I4: .000 ET: 20.558 @ 57.058 So, now I know where to start. Before anything, I have to upgrade to a Competition Clutch before I can do ANYTHING to the engine. Right now, the clutch and tires are the weak link. The engine has way more power than I've tapped... I want more. Samurai

well, you also don't have a noodle clutch either... you have any idea how hard it is to launch that car?
i'd like to see if you could do better.

i'll be there on saturday afternoon.

	Had the Tercel out at Shannonville Raceway last night... what a blast!!!! I'm actually racing there thursday night (1.5 mile road course), I'll post some times! Samurai: Not bad at all on the stock clutch and everything. There's a local guy who drags a Cobalt SS, and you're beating him by a few seconds. I've noticed he seems to bounce off the rev limiter when he shifts, which CAN'T be good for acceleration.
	hi i like cars

	ouch.. yeah 60 ft needs some practice. Whats your launch technique?
	I become capability. I become the horror. What we know we can become only in our heart of darkness. It's my gift. It's my curse.
