: I took my 2000 Dakar Yellow M Coupe to Sears Point for their wed. night race what your brought events.

: My very first run was 13.976. :)

What RPM did you launch at for your first run?


: With more practice I'm sure I can improve that by 2/10 or more. I did bog on the launch a bit and on the second run I rev up to 2500rpm but that just made my wheel spin all the way in first and part way in 2nd so the time was slower my nearly 1sec.

Hmmm... I usually don't get much wheelspin when
launching at around 3k. Think this was due to the
track being more slippery than the street?

Is your coupe stock?

thanks,
/t
