Car: MR2 built 5.7 Dragpak, tire Hoosier light weight radial 9 inch , driver 17 year old experiencing his first non-Gremlin race car. 904 tranny

Track: Epping track rental, Air Temp around 80-85, not sure on track temp

Car rolled through water, and burnouts were tried in second gear(he didn't get the RPM's high enough and couldn't get the tire to spin)(which is better than RPM's too high!) Five runs total, he did do one burn out.

Results dead hooked every time. 60 foots were all consistent.

Anyone else observe something like this? Maybe its a function of a prepped track, and a great chassis.

Making me think though.

Thanks

Eric
