very respectable time, but it shows you have traction issues off the line IMHO

not a surprising time reading your spec, terminal shows your car shifts once rolling
i'm hoping to break the 13 sec barrier this year though

I did a 13.698 at York yesterday at 98.55 mph. I don't think its a bad time for a stage 1 4x4 tbh. Was struggling with my reaction times all day though. Could get much below 1.2 secs

It's all in the 60ft.
If I were you I would speak to Danny B about a proper rear end or Brom.
