The 12.4 run was with 45psi in the tires and I spun like crazy! Never checked the pressures since I got the tires mounted so made that adjustment and ran pretty consistent the whole day… I know the car has a little more in it but I think the limitations are traction and the fear of blowing up the stock clutch so I tend to be a little delicate on the launch… However with that being said the stock clutch is now on around 65 launches (~25 at the track thus far and it’s been pretty solid… The 15.159 run I got a shift delay and as soon as I felt it I just let off and coasted and didn’t even waste my time hence the slow ass time. Lol. Figured it was worth posting though since it was one of my runs after all. Only weight reduction was the spare tire removed, everything else was full weight…

So overall I think it was a pretty successful day, Ryan’s record stands for a bit longer even though it was a nail-biter. But I’m pretty happy seeing it crack off an 11.620 with stock rotors, stock cats and stock downpipes. I’m pretty impressed, especially since Tsivas has only seen a 1/4 mile strip for two passes prior to today. We didn’t even check the tire pressure on the DSG LOL! Whatever it was it was working…

So .01 seconds away from the record for the DSG and I was able to break my own manual record which I’m pretty happy with also I let Tyson know to peel that sticker off his windshield
