Happy Fathers to day the father of this forum ! @zrk

Thank you for the Happy Father's day, but certainly not the father of the forum.

Time to tighten up that rear suspension a bit.

From the other weekend. The Evolution of Speed shop car, my car, and Jesse's car for some test and tune. We've got some brackets this weekend.

Another track day yesterday was completely plagued with XHP issues. The idea is simple. use 'always start in 2nd' to launch the car in auto mode after the burnout. However, Mike Speed (Evolution of Speed owner) and I have consistently run into this problem.

1. Put the car in manual mode for burnout
2. Do burnout 1-3rd gears to get the tires cooking
3. Slap to auto mode while staging to make the pass

After the burnout, and switching to auto mode, the car consistently shifts into 1st gear, rather than second. Which makes for a stressful staging time. Sometimes powering down the car, and opening the door doesn't always fix it.

I don't have xHP due to hearing about your issues with it. What if you launch in 2nd manual and then switch to auto after the launch? Do you still have issues?

That's definitely a possibility, but it's hard to get that 'shift' right. Tried a couple times, nothing was quite right.

If I had a dollar for every time you sent me this.

Also, how are your built-motor ETs doing?
