well i went to the race track yesterday for the first time this season and pulled some real bad numbers....
had lots of issues with traction, missing my shifts, and very poor reaction time......

my best time last nite was a 16.7 @89.715MPH with a reaction time of 1.253
now this is all considering that i missed my shift into second, and traction was pure crap in first.

my all time best run was a 15.7 last year and my speed trap was a lil under that i got yesterday... oh well... i'm trying again in a few weeks....

i dunno man... lots of factors played a huge roll... bad traction, reaction.. yada yada....
not just that... but i ended up going to the track right after a 13 hour work shift..... i dunno maybe my head wasnt fully there.... meh oh well... i'll find out if theres a better time i can run in 2 weeks

it could be that i need a re tune again..... but this year i had my timing set back to stock cuz i removed my ignition coil (has to be replaced) as well i think i need new plugs.....:no:

ha, mine does the same thing. sounds like a dying robot. i couldn't figure out what was wrong with it... thought maybe the new speakers had something to do with it, but now i'll have to go home and check the battery. thanks for the idea!
