Welcome to CC.

That is a GREAT FIRST POST.

You are 100% correct about the traction problem in first and second. Also, I have found that it is quite difficult to be able to look at the tach in first gear as everything is happening so quickly. I don't have a shift light yet but I plan on installing one soon. One final point, keep your foot in it until you pass through all the lights at the end so as to get a more accurate MPH.
