When it shifts, the trans seems to be applying first and second at the same time. Really not a good thing. On the graph, the car noses over hard, then shifts...about 1600 rpm later. Not good.

First rd he said he was on a .16 or .17 and had to dump the guy cause he was late on the tree and wasn't going to catch him. 1.32 60 foot. Congrats Les on a great first outing!
