more grip, need higher rev to break them loose initially..a lil spin off the line is good.

Default You would think that would be the problem but I actually spun all the way through first gear my

first launch (1.9X) 60', it wasn't like the car bogged down off the launch from the grip, believe me, I know that the best launch is a little 4-wheel spin then grip-n-go. I checked the video and I wasn't launching any higher than i was with the snows, which was weird because i was launching at the same rpms (from what i could see on the video), and spinning more with the summers than the snows. Maybe there was more water in the water pit, a few runs i actually did a burnout in the burn-box with the RWD cars to dry my tires off, didnt seem to help me. But, I also only had 2 clean runs with the summers so far (one run i left ESP on DOH!, and 1 run I popped out of first gear), so I am sure I can bring my time down with the snows with more practice/launches
