How to fluff a launch :)

First run today was EPIC !!

Long story short. I staged at idle instead of having the brakes on and the tranny loaded at 2000 rpm. Dont ask why ??

So she moved bit when i floored it but she backfired and I came off and then went back on hard on the pedal.

To say the MG was unsettled is an understatement.

The Slo mo vid shows all :)

Ha Ha! Tone :)

The slo mo shows all the action unfolding step by step, the drama, the flames, the fear!!! But in real time its all over in a cough :) The 60 foot was 1.9 seconds with all this happening ??

Inside the car I was rag dolled for a second or so and then just hung on :lol:
