With something more like a 1.6 60', and setting up my No Lift To Shift, and some improved shifting, and I definitely think I'll be around a mid-high 10. 

I'm sure they won't ignore that though, and I'll get the boot pretty quick.

This winter I think I'm going to consider putting just a basic 5 point cage in it.


Corey, get your shit running and come out on the 31st with us!

you must be thinking of another corey, my car runs and i dont live anywhere near you lol

theres a few fast local DSM's one of them has gone 10.001@140 however hes a pretty nasty driver. i think most of your time will come from shifting, most DSM's i see at the track wait like 10 seconds between shifts, dont know if its cause the trannies are garbage or if they are afraid to break something. dont be a pussy, bang those gears.

If everything's right with the tranny, you'll just consume second gear shift fork contacts, and after a while the gear itself.  I have a friend who'd buy an initial Shepherd built transmission and then just replace second gear related parts himself.

Ha, yeah sorry I was thinking you were Colin for some reason, woops  :-[

The tranny in there is built by TRE, about 1.5 years on it now.  Just for some damn reason I kept missing 3rd gear.  Just need some time to get used to it and hopefully I'll be able to bang the gears no problem.

I think I just found my new clutch setup as well, which should hopefully get rid of the slipping issues I was running into that day.
