Sold then!!!
Sounds like from the event info they are allowing street guys to rip there cars so were going to head over and see. Im sure ill fail the launch and not show the potential of the camaro but its worth the try. |

Have fun.
Also, one of the biggest mistakes guys make when trying to launch their cars is being overly aggressive. Just try to get off the line smoothly without wheel spin. You'll run much faster times with a nice conservative smooth launch than dropping the clutch at a high rpm and hammering the gas = wheel spin city. So a nice smooth launch and some fast shifts and you'll be looking at some decent track times. |

Thanks for the advice....
From reading other posts here i see others talking about 1200rpm with smooth clutch release.... Just going to try my best........ Once i get rolling ive got going through the gears down ok. I remember with my old mustang i would let off the gas when shifting at the track...... Wondering if thats a no no in this camaro |
