        1st run: 2.333 sec
        2nd run: 2.389 sec
        3rd run: 2.355 sec

        Times - (bottom of ramp to inside trailer post Xcal/with trunk mat):

              first run i shortshifted from first right into 3rd gear and i just let off the n2o and just ran it out the top end.
              second run forgot to turn the n2o on, also was short shifting it a little.
