Hold the clotch in and rev to about 2500 or so. Tree goes and drop the clutch. Accelorate threw first fast enough to use the gears full potental yet not spin (3/4 throttle most of the way) shift fast at 5500-5800 RPM anything after that is a waist with our cars.
Shifting this way you should be about to hit 4th in the 1/4 and be at mid 2nd in the 1/8. Good luck. -Bryan- BTW let some air out of your tires. This will help you to hook up a little more. -------------------- Member of Team 5sfTe
