And I wish I could give them to you. It turns out that I am completely incapable of shifting gears. My best 60 foot time was a 1.556 which was awesome but the ZF did not want to go into any gear. I dont know if it just doesnt like shifting at 7000 RPM or if it was driver error. Suffice it to say that my previous comments about mechanical sympathy went right out the window. I guess once the adrenaline gets pumping things change as I was launching at 4000 RPM. Anyhow, I will be doing much adjustment and cleanup to my linkage to see if I can get it feeling a bit better. I got eliminated in the first round but next year we will be a bit better prepared. You can check out my pathetic shifts at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3UZYmlO6oQ . The rapid increases in RPM in the top gears is my clutch slipping. I also managed to clip my brake pedal with my foot a couple of times on this run. Here is another of my launch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOgs_W8EO9g . Enjoy.
