Shifting on time?

We found it better to shift after the 60ft. For example if your 60ft is 1.700 then set shift timer at 1.80 or 1.85 that gives you some room if your on a greasy track. My father in laws car weighs 3000 lbs and when we shifted real early before the 60 the car was real unpredictable. We think that the weight of the car made it vulnerable to different track and weather conditions especially when there was wind. So we started shifting after the 60 letting the car accelerate in first gear then shift. Since that change that car has been very consistant. Hope this helps and good luck!
