camera positioning is alright eh !
Good day, Ran 14 all day on my first drag race day. But first gear just wouldn't work on the strip as its so short, 30mph max. And that was on Daz's drag semi slicks.......
However! I put my road tires back on when I was about to leave and someone said the super short first is costing me time, as by the time it starts pulling in first its time to change up....
He said try a 2nd gear start at 4500rpm and I thought he was mad, but I launched at 3.5k in second and got 14.2!! I couldn't believe it and that was on normal tires with low rpm launch, well into 13's next time!
Wish I knew to do that at the start of the day, and NOT arrived with a full tank of fuel, stupid track day habit........

on this video I see, that traction was very good (muuuch better then polish airstrips without glue). You have stock S80 so first gear is as long as at stock ITRs. You have to learn a lot about launching and shifting on 1/4mile, couse not traction was a problem there..
what do you recon it would do without a full tank?Not bad at all, I ran 14.2's in my old B16B ek9 with 4.78 fd at straighliners drag event here in N.Ireland
My old DC2 used to manage 14 dead with R888s
