I had a jump from the light cause i was about 20ft. back and still goin 10, but i redlined it in 1st cause i was in a hurry.   I shifted at about 4.5 in 2nd, (i didnt realize we were racing until i saw him catching up) which completely screwed the shift into third.  by the time i was at 5.5 in 3rd he was bout a carlength in front and pulling away.  Overall i thought it was a decent race, i wish we coulda started even although he still prolly would have won.
