I sure stunk the place up last night. I couldn't cut a light to save my ass. I was fine till I switched lanes. Traction was a major problem again this week too. First pass I dropped the shift point back to 6200 to be easier on the engine. That was a mistake. It doesn't work too well when your shift point is lower than your stall point. The car spun hard and shifted as soon as it launched and then spun even harder. It went 6.44 with a 1.49 60'. I put everything back for the next pass. It still spun hard but went 6.25 with a 1.44 60'. First round I get bumped to the other lane and picked up enough it would have run 6.12 with a 1.38 60' on my 6.28 dial. I gave the stripe back at the finish by .010. I really screwed that up. I bought back and decided to stay in that lane the rest of the night. The car worked a little better there but not me. I think it's time for a new set of slicks to get back to an easy to dial car.
