if you could get it to disengage a 4lo launch would prolly give you good 60ft times

I forgot to hit the button at all, once, and turning off the track was a real interesting experience! You only do that once, though.

Been there done that also. More than once. If I accidentally leave mine in 4w Hi the entire track I tend to get a vibration on the top end and slows me down maybe .1 to .3

Yeah, that left turn will remind you real quick. I just leave it alone now. I can't prove nor have seen any real proof it is all that beneficial anyway. 600hp to the wheels is 600 to the wheels no matter how you look at it once you are out of that 60' area I guess. parish on the other hand...lol kind a makes me laugh thinking you would actually do anything else besides press gas and hold on.
