the was my last, and best run of the day, even though I had a few slow sections and one f*** up, My time was a 66.112 good for about 2/3 the way down the list, but this was my first EVER time out, and other guys where modded like crazy in there little ricer's and had slicks in comparison to me **** RS-A's.

the passenger was a girl that I was there racing a modded Cavalier (you see me pass it at the end in the pits) she had a few years under her belt at these's events..

did you have any issues with tranny not wanting to downshift when you wanted it to or it trying to upshift when you didn't want it to? Nice run for your first time.

biggest issue along those lines was the slow throttle responce (thank you torque management) and the shifts could stand to be a little quicker..

definately noticed that! chick sounded hot too <bow chika bow wow> Not sure why she said upgrade the springs? I would replace the shocks first.

Great vid! Not bad for your best, first time-that course was MASSIVE compared to some of the ones i've done. Looked like you could have opened up the throttle a bit more out of the turns to the next cone. Did you try to manually shift at all?

Get more seat time...and back seat time with that girl!

I think she might have meant the complete strut?
the biggest problem I was having was the nose diving way to much, so I'm sure stiffer springs would help worlds.

the throttle has a long delay (.7sec) so it looks like i'm not on it soon, I need to condition my mind to get on it before it needs it, but not so soon that when it kicks in, I'm still turning.

and yes, I need more seat time. but I doubt the back seat time wouldn't go over well with my GF, or her husband.
