Okay now post the timeslip or Ban . You already have your excuses covered with the elevation and shift problems.
Close. The slip is at home. 14.6 @103.5

I'm going back next week. Twas my first time at a drag strip. I'm thinking mid 13s with a proper launch. Hell I'd be super stoked to get 13.9x that here at 6,000 feet. Might even try starting in 2nd since the track is a bit slick.

BTW - I have found that finger-shifting (gentle) is less likely to cause a missed shift than palm-shifting (forceful).

To be honest, the challenge of properly launching a 6MT is appealing to me. No grandma-appropriate 6ATs here! Just kidding, fellas.
