Good news from Finland, Alastaro dragstrip! 8.987 @ 147 mph with 6400 max rpms, shifting at 6000! I lowered the launch rpms from 4400 -> 3600, raised the tire pressure from 6.7psi -> 7.0psi and made a big burnout throuht the starting line. Also the throttle wasn't all the way open before but now we got it right.
Here's the 8 second pass video:

We broke the transmission on the next run but I did got a spare trans and we even manage to win the eliminator with it! Next race is 5. July and I think we're going to try the four link setup a mentioned before. It seems that the body rises at the starting line. I want it squat or be neutral.
Also I weighted the car with a full fuel cell and it isn't so bad that I thought. 56.6% front, 43.4% rear, 2410lbs.
Corner weights:
LF: 749 RF: 615
LR: 502 RR: 543
