Struggled with launching as it would either spin or have terrible axle tramp. Didn't get a chance to try launch control as it wouldn't engage.
Best result was to put it in DTC mode, foot on brake and quickly pump the throttle to try and get the revs up a little.
Just flooring it off the line had the rear end bouncing up and down horribly.
Trying to feather the throttle in 1st to control wheel spin ended up in a 14.2.
I think best place to shift was around 6200rpm, but I really needed more runs to figure these things out.

Good effort mate. Traps look solid for a stock car, just need to practice the launch. If you can run a sub 2 sec 60ft you will easily break into the 12s. Btw, the run-flats need to go!
