Tis the season. lol
I did my first hit at the Osceola , Wisconsin " Wings and Wheels " car and air show yesterday.
They has a radar run on the main runway.
No prepped surface , but it told me a lot.
I know the feeling about being nervous.........I legged it to about 3/4 track and lifted and I wasn't even sure how to behave on the launch.
I haven't made a lap in anger in a long , long time.
I tested on the street by my house and found a technique that cut down the wheel spin on that surface.........which was about the same as what we ran on.
Leave off idle and roll into it , short shift second and by the time I was in third I just let it eat.
Somewhere around 100 m.p.h. , the car started to porpoise and it was getting more pronounced as the car continued to accelerate , so I lifted.
But I haven't felt that feeling in a good while and the grin is still pretty much a permanent fixture on my mug.
What was the last strange noise ?
I didn't have any of that , but I had about 100 miles of street play in the last couple weeks to try and find those.
