Went to PIR tonight. Did my first drag race ever. It was a lot of fun, until I broke something after my 7th or 8th run. Thinking I broke the fork for 5th/Reverse. Managed to get the transmission OUT of gear, then didn't want to go back into gear. THEN I was able to get it into gear but only for a minute. When I parked it @ the track, SHIFTER was in neutral, but tranny is permanantly in 5th gear... This sucks.
Also I went SLOWER on Falken Azenis RT-615 195-60-14's than I did with 215-60-14's of generic brand. My launches suck, I get wheel hop or wheel spin... This is a difficult sport to master, and one that I think I'd rather let others do such. I may go a second time later this summer, but for now I'm going to stick to auto-X, drifting and track days. Absolutely LESS abusive, even drifting.
Anyways, my fastest run was also my FIRST EVER run. Go me. Even with a retardedly slow reaction time.
