Well, that didn't work so well. Popping the clutch on a static engine followed by hard acceleration is tough on one's body and tires. I tried it in 4th then 3rd and then I really went for the gusto and tried 2nd at 40mph... this will quickly decelerate the car followed by a tire squalling blast to 60 mph. If I did manage to save on petrol, I would end up spending it all on ibuprofen.
Once I get some more practical data I will share it with you guys.
The good news for the day is that my car/data acquisition setup will still datalog during the EOC phase.
I'm planning on racing Friday night and hope to break 100mph... wish me luck.
