Ran a 14.2 first time

So I have the 02 mini, with the least amount of power but it ran really well on the track..
had problems with the launch because the gear is long, tried a bunch of rpm launches but nothing spectacular.
Ran 14.2 at 98..( three times) a few 14.3's at 97 but some race fuel in and my trap speed kept going up... Decided not to stay for long though.
60 ft was terrible.. 2.3.
I have achieved 1.9 or 2.0 with a GTI previously so I'm confinced it was the set up, slash gear ratio.
However it surpassed my expectations.
Sweet
