PINKS

I am going to get pics and video of PINKS from Maple Grove Raceway this past weekend soon. Look at this thread for them.

The end result was I qualified in the B class (12.00 - 12.49) with a 12.24. However they picked the high 9 class as they had 32 cars within .02 of each other.

I do wish for anyone with advise on not having ABS kick in during a burnout to chime in. When I burn out it keeps kicking in and I lurch forward, and it pretty much ruins the burn out. I have tried pulling the fuse but I can't turn TCS off then.

have you tried holding down the tc button for 10 seconds until both light come on, on the dash?

Would going to the "Competitive Mode" where you hit the TC button twice help? It's supposed to optimize launch.

The DIC will flash "Competitive Mode" if you are in that mode.

Try driving around the water and back up to it once you get lined up. No water on the front tires should help.

That ABS coming on is part of the stabilitrac system and comes on if you have shorter tires on the rear. Be careful it can cause you to have no brakes at the end of the track!

But I disable stabilitrac, holding the button down for 8-10 seconds. It shouldn't engage in that case... but it still does. Once I get video up you will see how my car jumps forward while warming up the tires because of ABS

Competitive mode keeps TCS enabled - won't let me warm up the tires that way therefore worse than with the ABS kicking in

The best chance will probably be a line lock
