Help me decipher my Time Slips

[ChrisR]

I have 2 more slips with about the same results. When I start, I squek the tires a little bit (stating about 2800-3200 RPM) Then it just like almost dies and goes really slow for a little while. Then I finally pick up speed. But it seems like I'm not even moving for like 1.5 seconds. Any suggestions?

Thats odd i ran 10.7 eight mile with a trap speed of 70.1. My sho isnt healthy. Try feathering the clutch out.

Those mph are pretty low.It sounds like the car is bogging down a little.You most likely just need some practice,a drag strip is nothing like the street.On the street you get small amounts of wheelspin that you don`t even notice.The track on a sticky day will bog the car because the tires aren`t so forgiving.I really don`t think there is anything wrong with your car,don`t worry.

Yeah, I agree with Jeremy. Your car bogged due to your tires getting traction. I did this once in my Formula to the point where it straight up died on me!

launch harder, spinning the tires a bit wont hurt. the 88 mph trap speed is a bit slow but can be worked on. the 60' should be around 2.35.

just a tip for improving your rt, leave on the 3rd yellow light.

Yeah, it was bogging like ****. I think I will have to let out the clutch a little slower.
Jeremy, I totally agree. On the street, it seems like I can get great starts, but on the strip it's so hard to get traction. Plus, I did have a Lot of crap in my car that I didn't bother to take out. Oh well, next time.
