Got a pair of 15" 8.5lb SSR Comps at home and a couple spare slicks...hey wait, where's miata mike...i just gave him 4 gooood slicks to mount on his spare wheels for the mtn run. I could use a pair of those this week. I'd prolly have to raise my car up though, screw that...i'm perfectly level. I think we would make a really close run....i love competition when each other are within tenths...where the launch, slipping of the clutch (oh yeah, see below), shifts, etc.each have to be perfect otherwise you'll lose. dammit i need to get on a dyno to see my torque curve...figure out exactly where the perfect shift is.

You asked about the 60' times...it's all about slipping the clutch. Where the wheels barely turns over, maybe a little chirp and slight spin but still grabs instantly. It just takes practice...and if it's not working one way then you try it another way until it gets better.
