Well, with those bigger rear wheels your car isn't optimized for =
turns, either. And, I *know* you're not shying away from that! Well =
regardless, what's wrong with your 1st gear? What spec transmission are =
you running? FYI, I'm expecting to launch in 2nd gear, myself. With =
those tree stump-pulling 4.25 ring & pinion gears my car should also be =
at a definite disadvantage at the strip.
Just get out there to see what you can do regardlss of how competitive =
you are! There's always going to be somebody out there who can hand you =
your arse, right? I just ran my first drag race on Friday night (16.091 =
in the Subaru) and got spanked each and every time. Well, that's my =
perspective, anyway. Ish all good...
P.S. Through my rally connections in Ireland I can bring in genuine VW =
Motorsports 16v gear sets. Maybe you need a taller 1st and 2nd? Just say =
the word and I can arrange it for ya. (That offer is extended to anybody =
else, too.)

wasn't built for drags, hell I don't have a 1st gear that is worth a =
hoot, all I use it for (and this is the way I like it) is to get to 2nd.
any grandmother in a yugo can take me off the line.
