I only got 4 runs in because they closed the track due to a spill. I don't think that track is a very good one. There is also really no way to get around the water box when I went. I try to avoid the water box and then back up into it. If you go through the water box your just tracking water up to the starting line and then your rear tires have to drive through it. Most good tracks that I see have a wide clear path around the water box. This is probably why your wife is having so much trouble. Even on stock tires her 2.73 geared car should have no problem hooking up and getting a 2.0 60ft. She needs to do a very slight burn out to just get the water off the tires. I bet she is having trouble becuase her tires are still wet.
Its fun racing each other in the same conditions. I am working alot on my reaction time since it still feels weird leaving on the 3rd light. November we should put some good times down and hopefully some more Camaro's will be out there since I'm outnumbered by mustangs pretty heavily there.
