probably shifting too fast...or that the tranny is hot from punishing it...

i take it you've never drag raced...

nice times though chino...but it always sucks when someone else can drive your car faster than you can...

3 30 minute sessions WOT isn't less punishing. (it is cooler though).

you don't shift while on the track? haha.

i know you bang through the gears coming out of the corners.

unless you're autoxing where it's a 1-2 shift and that's it.

either way, just glad people are getting out there. :D
