On the Saturday vid we had a little bit too much clutch off the line ( experimenting with the lock-up weights and went too far) which was pulling the revs down on one run but other wise it screams all the way to the finish line .
The sound on these Youtube vids is never that good and always makes things sound a bit shit.
