Civic looks like it got away well.


It would seem that due to my over the top burn out attempts on the day I was always last to stage. I find it really hard to get on the line, set my rpm to where it needs to be and then launch at the exact moment the light drop :? So in the end I stopped trying to beat what ever I was up against away from the line. Given that the reaction time isn't included in the overall 1/4 mile time it doesn't matter really.....just looks bad in the pics though lol

Yeah, I get that, didn't mean it in a "he beat Mike" kinda way :lol:. just for a FWD car he seems to have got off ok.

I'm sure he thought he was doing well until you flew past :lol:
