Dont worry though we will do it again from a 50 roll where i'm at 6500rpms and i promise u the outcome WILL BE DIFFERENT. U guys keep saying 5 more mph isnt gonna make a difference, but i'm talking about rpm range NOT mph. the rpm range in me doing a 40 roll and a 50 roll WITH A 5 SPEED TRANNY IS A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!! but like anything else i guess i have to show u rather than tell you.
And car lengths?? No1, how about one car, which for me is good considering i have the 5speed AND was at 5000rpm vs his situation. The third race where i pulled out earlier cause i thought the curve was shorter than it was(coming back down another access road) was different as in i was closer to 6000rpm and he was no longer a car length ahead, but i told chunky dont worry about posting that run since i pulled out earlier and it wasnt a full run.
dont be so quick to comment until we run again where i'm in my "sweet spot" like he is in his. It was a gearing race from the start and he knew that, thats why he called me out! dont be nieve man, moseley knows his car and he knew whats was up lastnight, so NOW we will go at it again. That is when he finishes with 1civic! LOL!
