last night.....
my friends and i decided to check out a new location and try it out. so i raced 3 different times.
first time was against a 95 Del Sol. he beat me buy his car length. i bounced my shit off the rev limiter and lost all rpms going from 1-2. second time was agianst a 2002 Sentra SER. he jumped the line by 1/2 car. i still caught him and won by 2 cars. third time was agianst a 1992 Civic Si. he got a better luanch but was no match. i cought him at the end of first and had 3 cars by the end of second. plus 2 weeks ago i raced a mazdaspeed protege. i lost by 2 cars. damn his boosting 6lbs. oh well not bad for a Automatic H23.

How do you launch your auto? Do you prime it (hold the gas and brake at same time) or do a neutral bomb (rev it up a bit in neutral then drop it into gear) I've tried both at a track and got better times out of the neutral bomb, but it does horrible for the transmission so..
