Drag racing season starts soon

[wadragracing]

Well guys the new season is just weeks away now.
Has anyone got any major plans as far as the drag strip is concerned?

Back to two high tech events this season. First one is on November 30 so hope to see plenty of you guys there.

[iluv2moan]

now that i got a tacho installed, might get a race fuel tune and go better my 12.3

[CyberNetiC]

stock up on them headgaskets brother.

toyo spare parts must love ya.

[iluv2moan]

fighting words...

sounds like u want to line up against me

[evil1]

fuck i thought drag season started ages ago.
that red/white/unpainted r34 still had his numbers on the side on friday night at the cruise

[Tocchi]

LOL Dan, why do you think i was going "man didnt the drags end 6 months ago" while pointing to the 34. lol
btw, take Cecil down to the plex :p

[zeroyon]

fighting words...

sounds like u want to line up against me

I'll take some of that ... Hitech on Nov 30th ?

[Tre-Cool]

11.003 last season. 10's this season, so I Plan on getting the boot.

Then car will get setup for track work.

[iluv2moan]

I'll take some of that ... Hitech on Nov 30th ?

yeah no probs - bring ya jz powered mk3 supra down

[Lonewolf]

will be down a bit this season looking for a 13 n/a.

[verbatim]

I need some slicks for a day.

[gerrin]

yer im looking at a new cam
fix the gearbox AGAIN better get a ANDRA lic then hit it again
got the 90/10's for the front
but i really want to get back into the snake pit YERRR BURNOUT DO ONE

[shane]

I'm putting a cage and an auto in the ute and running the season in super sedan.

[Passage GT]

i'm guessing it doesn't matter if the sedan is a ute?:)

[vy ss ute m6]

I'm putting a cage and an auto in the ute and running the season in super sedan.

Full house drag car this year?? :hit:


I'm thinking bout heading down again with the manual box and seeing if I can get it out of the hole a bit quicker

Luke, you running S/ST again this year?

[Tre-Cool]

i started getting car ready tonight. removed sports bar and tailgate.

i figure if im gonna get kicked out, might as well make it a good 1.

[mitcho]

Ill be aiming for an 11.xx this season in the scooby. Should be achievable. Be good to get down there again.

It opens early September yea?

[SSICK]

new clutch in soon and run 12.xxx

[shane]

Full house drag car this year?? :hit:

No, just putting the auto in because i cant change gears for shit and a cage because i have to. I'll be starting off with the same suspension as last year ( circuit set up ) and change to something more drag friendly later on.

[ED40]

good luck with the season shane.

Im hoping for a 12.xx, then thats it, concentrate on the circuit instead.

[vy ss ute m6]

No, just putting the auto in because i cant change gears for shit and a cage because i have to. I'll be starting off with the same suspension as last year ( circuit set up ) and change to something more drag friendly later on.

You sell yourself short!! 1.5 60" in an M6, your no slug at changing gears haha ;)

New setup sounds good though, look forward to seeing what it reels off with the auto!

I'll race the Soarer at the high tech meets but not Super Street this season. Have had a quicker offer haha. Not all set in stone just yet but pretty close.

[V8ENZ]

pulled some wieght out of the birkin (and a little bit out of the driver)
so should try to get down for another run

[ACTIV8]

planning to run a 9 b4 the end of the season if i can get a motor to hold together

[GhostFc3s]

Cant wait to get the new r32 out to see what it will run. Hoping for 11's to start with.

[got boost]

all i know the wait is killin me im wanting to try out new combo.. and ive new drag shocks to fit all around myself tryin to keep up with the tyafrya ; )

[Tocchi]

personally id love to crack a 20 second pass
(see signature)

[OptiC]

Keen to head down, 180 should be good to go by this Sunday!

[Joe]

I'll be down there in me VL.

Ran a 16.00 last season, but now I've fitted the Neons and the 13" Cheviot tri-spokes, I'm chasing 9s.

[DISTRBD]

I got 26dett 31 to rape for Hi Tech or any oither drag event :p

[fmx939]

I'll be down there in me VL.

Ran a 16.00 last season, but now I've fitted the Neons and the 13" Cheviot tri-spokes, I'm chasing 9s.

dang im missin the Neons lol

i will be back out, more boost, transbrake an full slicks.

[gerrin]

all i know the wait is killin me im wanting to try out new combo.. and ive new drag shocks to fit all around myself tryin to keep up with the tyafrya ; )

well to do that ya gota do a burnout

[beefcake]

its been two fuckn long years but im damn close to running this year, just waiting for engine (week or so) and suspension and sundry shit and im all set for racing :fingers: , im hopeing to run in super sedan as well SS/BB :fingers:

[zeroyon]

all i know the wait is killin me im wanting to try out new combo.. and ive new drag shocks to fit all around myself tryin to keep up with the tyafrya ; )

Me wants an sms when you head down :)

[got boost]

well to do that ya gota do a burnout

im not into droppin a skid in the snake pit but we'll see how we match up on the 1/4 though

[JME]

Yep im heading down to give it a nudge.

[Miggy]

I will be happy with a mid 13 something after my tune, if i can get a high 12 with a shift kit and some M/T's that would be awesome, so that will be my goal for the season.

[JayVee]

Anything that starts with an 11 will put a smile on the face.

[Kilma]

I'll head down there once or twice. Just aiming to better the 10.772 I already have. A 10.5 would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath without strapping it down.

[Tones]

motor should be very close, going for a bigger BP this time around and some more boost. Microleb getting upgraded with data logging and 2 step getting done as well. should be a good year, if i can make it to any events

[gerrin]

im not into droppin a skid in the snake pit but we'll see how we match up on the 1/4 though

your on
jsut dropped my motor off for a new set of rockers today
might see what else i can do to get the old falcon moving its to bloody heavy, im not losing weight so think it might be time for NOS

[joshg123]

Ill be out late season, ideally id like a 11.3-11.5

If it does a 10, hold me to it that i go in the burnout comp and rip helis untill the box gives up or my motor overheats

However, chances are that ill dial up 5k on the launch control, and it will spit the box on the start line and ruin everyones night.

[wadragracing]

A note on helmets guys, copied from the Motorplex website. This is due to new rules from ANDRA. Actually fairly sensible as they tend to deteriorate over time:

If your helmet is over 12 years old then it is probably not acceptable for use on the Drag Strip. Look for the following markings to check if your helmet is ok to use for racing. Sometimes the label is under the padding inside the helmet.

Full Face or Open Face Helmets bearing any of these standards are acceptable;
SNELL SA 2000, SA 2005, SFI 31.2 (US)
SNELL M 2000, M2005, SFI 41.2 (US)
BS 6658-85 Type A (British)
SNELL 2000/2005 - SFI 31.1 (US)
BS 6658-1985 Type A/FR (British)
AS/NZS 1698/2006 (AS/NZS 1698)

[DCIEVE]

so long as nothing else go's wrong i might get one crack at it...

when do the mondays start up?

[kamahl31]

september 8 is 1st mystery monday nick. you going to go to on wednesday or still waiting for axles?

[DCIEVE]

will try to make the 8th & 10th, but hopefully wont be allowed back for the tenth :)

[Lonewolf]

anyone else heading down tonight?

[Miss_Cate]

Yup will be there in the petes 33.

[beefcake]

going for support to a mates fc, hopefully to crack into 12s:fingers:

[Tones]

which ones that beef

[beefcake]

the pandyman, hes got to get the slicks down there though but since i have no car today i cant put em in to bring em, we will try and sort something out, last time he was there he only had it on low boost 6pounda and did a flat 14 so now got high boost happening 14 pounda and slicks and more seat time, should get a 12:D

[YOUR MATE]

I'm goin down, mate is racing his blown BA GT faker. Be good to see what time it runs.

[VXLS1]

Should better my 11.85 soon, and by the end of the season, hope to have a 10.xx...

Anywhere in there will be good :naughty:

[Lonewolf]

chunks of motor out exhaust FTL

[iluv2moan]

chunks of motor out exhaust FTL

details??

[Lonewolf]

popped rocker cover, no obvious signs of damage.
plugs are filthy but not damaged.
car doesnt turn over
Could be an electrical issue, and the sparks was the metal cat being blown out.

[SSICK]

any quick times tonight?

[Tre-Cool]

any quick times tonight?
i got me an 11.7@126. with toyo proxes. ran out of revs. :-)

Hopefully a couple of 10's Monday if they let me run.

Placed was packed. but overall Excellent night for racing.

[locote]

Took my VP down managed 15.2, stock everything but rear muffler cut out and replaced with pipe and a home made CAI...

[Aristoman]

Ran 13.8 at 107mph as car is a slug off the line but has monster top end ;)

Good turnout as alot of people showed up as about 80% were V8s by far and not many imports to speak of :(

Shhheeet Blake spotted the Pulsar on the back of the tow truck when i went for my 3rd run as bad luck mate !

[Lonewolf]

saw you dropping a skid jamie, nice time!. agreed lotsa v8's
did a pb myself with a 14.9@97mph with a 2.6 60'.

[Aristoman]

Dropped a skid then got busted by the official for over cooking it :lol:

Good times for NA Blake as quite happy with my runs considering its a dead set snail off the line as averaging about 2.6 60 footers as get those lower should crack a low 13's as not bad for a bunky with babyseat and all :p

[BOSS 290]

Ummm, mid/low 11's in full street spec will do nicely.

Fuck knows, it will run what it runs :lol:

[the_quenda]

Took my XR8 down and ran a best of 14.04 @ 102.62mph. I couldn't beat my PB though.

[the_quenda]

Took my VP down managed 15.2, stock everything but rear muffler cut out and replaced with pipe and a home made CAI...

That's a quick time for a standard 5L - how many km on the clock? What was the mph and were you running full weight?

[locote]

over 200 000kms, 91mph was best.
rear tyres are illegal at the momment so i could torque it up to launch, so it was pretty much 1000rpm launches

Took nothing out of it..

[the_quenda]

Took my XR8 (Boss 260 4spd auto) which I have called "the quenda" down to the drags again and smashed my PB.

I Ran a 13.85 @ 104.04 mph with a 2.285 60ft time. My best mph was 104.4mph which I am very pleased with. I was getting quite a bit of wheelspin so that was affecting my 60ft times (I have very crappy tyres). I didn't do any brake torque launches. I didn't stall it up in other words.

Not bad for a basically stock XR8.

Thanks mate. I was getting 2.3X 60ft times most of the night which isn't too bad I guess. I was getting significant wheelspin though, so I know I can do better. Here's to hoping.

[Shauno]

You seemed to be doing well well done i was in the white rancer

[YOUR MATE]

i went down tonight and did horribly. 14 flat was my best, spinning into 2nd and 3rd. Really need some smaller rims with more than licorice strips. Enjoyed myself regardless, good fun getting back out there.

[the_quenda]

You seemed to be doing well well done i was in the white rancer

Thanks mate. My car was running well tonight.

Yeah, I saw your car. It looked nice with the rims.

[ReaperSS]

Drags on tonight do yaz think? Looks like the rain is holding off

[the_quenda]

Looks like a cool night too. I won't be racing though. I've already spent too much money lol

[xr06t]

good mph and time for the mods quenda, well done!

[Aristoman]

Thanks mate. I was getting 2.3X 60ft times most of the night which isn't too bad I guess. I was getting significant wheelspin though, so I know I can do better. Here's to hoping.

Sameboat as me know i could do alot better as was getting faster every run as just getting used to the changes and launch technique as alot different to standing at a set of traffic lights :p

Tonite looks like it may rain but one drop and they'll cancel straight away :poke:

[Tones]

nah usually takes a lot to shut it down
im 8km from the track and nothing in the area at the moment or for past couple hours

[Tones]

update: just started to rain here at 6:15pm. half decent amount is falling.

[DISTRBD]

31 26dett of to Hyperdrive for tune then its off to the plex for some runs :wiggle:

[Aristoman]

update: just started to rain here at 6:15pm. half decent amount is falling.

Guaranteed it'll be closed down for sure !

[the_quenda]

good mph and time for the mods quenda, well done!

Thanks man. The only mods are K&N pod filter and 4>1 headers. I'm still using the stock cats-back exhaust because I don't want any drone.

[ReaperSS]

Went last night. I was on. No rain!!!

[the_quenda]

Went last night. I was on. No rain!!!

What times did you run?

[ReaperSS]

Haha nah i didnt run. Just went for a look see ;)

If i ran, i would blow the box guarenteed lol

[SSICK]

started my cert 4 at tafe which takes up my monday and wednesday nights.

i think the first fast friday is on 10th october, new clutch goes in on the 30th, should be able to run some 12s.

[Tones]

nah first fast friday is the 17th. i know cause i wont be here for it. Good news is it looks like the car will be ready for the test and tune on sat the 11th

[SSICK]

bar the obvious, how is a test and tune day different to a normal drag night?

For ANDRA licence holders (even Super Street licence) there is a test and tune coming up in two and a half weeks.

[SSICK]

Top work mate

[Tones]

i think your rite tones it is a 91 thumper, you should have the 101 for your rig

judging by the size of the 91, i dont think i would be able to fit the 101 unless i mounted it in the cabin hahaha

[MISS 13B]

Well I finally had my first ever drag run on Monday.
After about a year of meaning to go down there I made it.

It's something that I have always had the intention of getting into so now the spending starts....

Just have a question about slicks though, now I'm still learning about this so don't flame me.
Do you need slicks on all four corners or just two at the back?
Also, where is the best place to get them, the only place I know of is Chris Mills or A1 Hi Performance.

Cheers :)

[xr06t]

only on the back for a rwd..

if you get a full slick, you will need a front runner also, but just on the back for mt streets or similar.

how did you go? what time? mph?

[MISS 13B]

Ahh Ok yeah that makes sense.

I did OK for my first run I guess.
Best time was a 14.1, best reaction time was 0.139, top speed was about 178 kp/h from memory.
My gearbox is just so thrashed though, every run it struggled to get through 2nd (auto box). Second run I did it was just smashing limiter so I had to back off a bit before I blew the fucking thing :lol:

So I'll get a set of slicks for the next run. Also have a box sitting in the garage which was built for and used in a regular drag car with a 2,800 stall so with these 2 new elements, I'm hoping to improve from there. Serious lack of torque is something I have to make up for unfortunately.

[xr06t]

a big stall and slicks will improve the times greatly for sure!

[wadragracing]

178kph is fair hauling for a 14.1, what were your 60 foot times?
Definitely a 12 on slicks (if the gbox hangs together), or just go for some Mickey thompson drag radials if you don't want to worry about front runners as well.

[xr06t]

im guessing 2.5's or more! 14.1 @ 178 is like standard xr6 turbo time, and they weigh 1800kgs!!!

[MISS 13B]

Cheers for the info guys

Yeah I'm not 100% on my top speed. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking 178 for some reason, I may be wrong though. I know for sure it's definitely over 170.
I'll have a look at my sheets tonight for exact numbers.
Not sure on the 60 foot times, do they have all that info on your result sheets? Such a newb with these details! Haha

First run was just me getting used to actually being out there and learning how to stage.
Next few runs after that, I was playing around with stalling up etc because it's slow as off the mark so I was trying to get my revs up to get a bit of a better launch, it's all about learning as you go along I spose.

Yeah I'll suss out whether to go full slicks or not, a 12 would be something that I'd be very happy with, I'm expecting I'll need a bit more practice before achieving that as yet.

[Tones]

Yeah I'll suss out whether to go full slicks or not, a 12 would be something that I'd be very happy with, I'm expecting I'll need a bit more practice before achieving that as yet.

Thats what everyone says. Thats what I said. :(

Damn, I was hoping Steve would be able to source slicks haha.. I'm going to try the local goodyear as i know the guys there are interested in racing as they mounted my last set and asked a lot of questions about my car ect...
You'll also need some new rear rims as im pretty sure they dont make 19" slicks haha

[wadragracing]

All your incremental times will be on the time card. Remember reaction time does not affect any of your other times, ie a 14.1 with a .1 reaction time is not a 14.0 with a .0 reaction time.
60 foot times will be an indicator of how hard the car is launching. 2.5 would be a bit shabby, 2.2/2.3 would be average, 2.0/2.1 good, anything sub 2 you have to be happy with on normal tyres! With slicks you can aim for 60 foot times more like 1.6/1.7 depending on the weight of the car.
When stalling up, don't worry about the green light. Take your time and get the revs right up (right on the borderline of the car creeping even with your foot pressed hard on the brake pedal) and then just floor your right and lift your left and off you go! Sounds easy huh hahahaha

[MISS 13B]

Haha yeah Tones, I know the feeling. Unfortunately with Steve having to go to Sydney for that week, time ran out to get the slicks and that box in! Haha.

Plus with him chucking the shits at the bridgey and deciding to lock himself in the garage to work on that didn't help :lol:

Yeah the rims are the other thing that I thought of...19" slicks - not a chance! Haha plus my wheels are heavy as hell so that may have hindered me a bit.

I'm sure we would have a set of shitter stockies laying around in our pile.

Haha thanks for that wadragracing....it's actually funny because all Sunday arvo I was practicing my launches out at some back roads.
When Monday night came around, there I was staging ready to get my revs up and before I knew it the light went green so I didn't have stuff all time to do what I had been practicing....I've realised you don't have a lot of time to stuff around out there :lol:

[beefcake]

next time your out there, get your little white lights locked in asap, before the other guuy has a chance to lock his in, then you will have longer time to stall up, that is a small catch 22 problem with auto turbo drag cars, smart racers will stage you out of the race;)
Pandyman has jerrys old slicks on rims, they have only done 4 passes from memory, and the bonus is you dont need front runners as they are street radial slicks (steel belted for steves info) , 600 bucks with those rims and tyres is a fuckn steal

[wadragracing]

I've realised you don't have a lot of time to stuff around out there :lol:
Well, you've got all the time in the world really, if you're not worried about the car in the other lane ie more concerned with your own time.
Just come into stage and wait for the light to go green and then do everything in your own time, even if you sit there for five seconds it doesn't matter! Get your launch perfect then you will get a good ET.
Beefcake....just got to stall her up in pre-stage and then inch it in :)

[beefcake]

too right you are mr wadragracing:)

[MISS 13B]

Ahhh OK so your time starts when you leave the line??

See I was under the impression that the clock starts ticking as soon as the green light goes on hence why I thought having a fast reaction time was so imperative to your overall result and hence why I didn't give myself time to prepare a launch.

So I had 5 runs, results were:

1.
Time: 14.72
60 feet: 3.19
Top Speed: 171.60

2.
Time: 14.18
60 feet: 2.79
Top Speed: 172.21


3.
Time: 14.34
60 feet: 2.88
Top Speed: 171.81


4.
Time: 14.67
60 feet: 3.21
Top Speed: 172.00


5.
Time: 14.49
60 feet: 2.99
Top Speed: 172.00


So I was waaay out with what I predicted my top speed was...bad memory.
Yeah beef, we were discussing slicks tonight. I'll suss out what's around and what I'll require for now. I just have to find some same sized stockies in the mix & match of shitter wheels we have in the garage.

[RICEY]

Best bet is floor it on the 2nd last light not the last light ;)

[beefcake]

Yeah beef, we were discussing slicks tonight. I'll suss out what's around and what I'll require for now. I just have to find some same sized stockies in the mix & match of shitter wheels we have in the garage.
if you get some 15 inchas get steve to ask the shop in wangara that he drops tyres too on something that will fit, they will look after him on price;)

[wadragracing]

Yep, don't worry about the green! The timers only start when the car moves, I can't stress this enough to a lot of newcomers to the sport! when you come into stage, the pre stage and stage lights represent beams on the start line. There is a third beam, when your car moves it will break this beam and start the timers.

Wow your 60 foot times have a lot of room for improvement. Next time you go down, try not worrying about when the green light comes on, and just build up your revs and go when you are ready, you should run 13s no worries on your normal tyres, but if they are the same as in your pic then they are a bit skinny for drag duties, some slicks/drag radials will make a big difference.

[Tones]

i think part of the rushing may have had something to do with the prize beefcake organised for th perthrotary guys/gal

[Pav]

All i know is, Miss13b thrashed me! :P

[MISS 13B]

Aww come one now Pav.....you know for a fact that I only just got you in the last 2 seconds, literally!
You annihilated me off the mark :D

Also, thank you for your advice wadragracing!

[shane]

Took the ute for its first hit out yesterday and although the converter would only flash to 2700rpm it managed a best of 10.49@132 so when i sort the converter out and with a bit of setup work hopefully there's a bit more in it.

[RICEY]

Nice work

[wadragracing]

Got my dragster licence :) Running in Modified this season.
Even if I was only running 11.7s! Need smaller jets by at least a couple of sizes as the poor thing was falling over as soon as it launched.
Can't wait till we start running some decent times, low nines is the hope.

[gerrin]

many new cars there
1st time scince track opened i have missed the test and tune
dam power snooze

[the_quenda]

New tyres should be arriving soon so my 60ft times should drop. I hope to run a 13.6-13.7 which is possible in the right conditions. Full street trim of course.

[Lonewolf]

likely go down this wednesday, aim for a 13 and not to break something

[got boost]

if i can can get off work early :fingers: tomorrow im keen to try the 67 again

if i every get mine back to together we have to have a pro tree race

[schnoods]

Just one question, For the Hitech titles, is there still the OZ EFI class?

I might give that a go, im consistent in the 13.5 bracket and not bad and the tree.

i managed 2 runs before the lights went out. Now breaking venue's rather than cars it seems.

Apparently we just rock up next week and tell them our names to get in. Long term forecast looks like rain, emo times.

I got a 10.840@128mph (207kph) and a 10.9@127 and about 5 11.0xx's.

Didn't really get tire pressure worked out till the last run of the night. (10psi).

Time to retire the old girl now and do some circuit and possibly drift stuff unless someone wants to give me a built T400? anyone....:D

[wadragracing]

I got pics booga, stay tuned...

We were struggling with the dragster, they're putting a bigger fuel pump on it for the next meet so hopefully that works...need to be running quicker! Minimum dial in is 10.99 and we were all over the place from 11.0 to 11.5 :( Eight are the eventual expectation.

Had good rts though: .016, .003, .025

i had a better look at the rear bumper this morning, it must have kissed the track
http://i36.tinypic.com/1zwywrk.jpg

[wadragracing]

Up she goes!

http://www.wadragracing.com/booga.jpg

Yeah was pretty sure I was racing haha. First run was an 11.0/122, thought we were on the right track, then second run lost fuel pressure on the line and it stalled. Third run went backwards with an 11.4, chnged fuel pump between then and first round, went backwards again to an 11.5, and with a fuel pump pissing out methanol at the top end.

[iluv2moan]

^^ awesome pic or an awesome wheelstand!

[MISS 13B]

Hahaha that photo is insane :D

[RICEY]

farkin hell does it damage the front suspension coming down from that height?

[shane]

I had a run in super sedan yesterday and as predicted went out in the first round. After seeing the reaction times and consistency of the the cars its going to make it a long miserable season for me.

My first round loss.


http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g24/saj_01/IMG.jpg

[zeroyon]

Damn dude, you did well !

A 10.481 on a 10.450 dial in is tops !
As is a .059 reaction.

What car were u driven ?

[wadragracing]

I agree Shane that's a good run, that's just unlucky. If you keep up that sort of performance you will go rounds.

[big o]

farkin hell does it damage the front suspension coming down from that height?

i think the only damage matt did to the car was a dent in the dump pipe and maybe the struts moved a little on the towers

there are scrapes all over the rear bumper. So time to find some wheelie bars amd get back out there, have to keep andra happy.

[iluv2moan]

that michael (?) silk gets away with wheelstands

12.78@110 stoked!!

[peaknwa]

im going to try to get the 32 down depend on if im back from gay work in darwin. hopin to get a low 11.

[PIGSTi]

Anyone heading down tonight?

[Skitzo]

i was there spectating. A few fo the SilWA guys went down. Only saw one of your passes, a 12.5.

LOL at trevs with no idea giving badga shit when he rolls onto snakepit in his drift S14 "haha come on shitty rice burner". Then proceeding on to perform the best burnout of the evening.

[PIGSTi]

Yeh my times got slower as the night went on, best time of the night was 12.363, with a terminal of 114.89, 60ft was bad 1.89. Has a 11.8/9 in it with that terminal but couldn't get it off the line, was just lighting all 4. Only got 5 runs so not enough to try a few different things. Having to wait 30+ mins between runs meant that I was running cold tyres too. They need to charge more and reduce the amount of cars, it's ridiculous!

[Skitzo]

One of the guys from silwa (as mentioned in spotted thread) did a 12.77 with a 2.26 60 ft time with 114.94 mph on his 3rd ever run.

RB20 with china T04e making 305 rwhp.

[iluv2moan]

optic was bragging about a 11.9 at 123mph pass - impressive shit

[Skitzo]

yeha marc did an 11.9, but it was still running its drift set up. which isn't very friendly when it comes to drag times.

What was impressive was a lift kit green el running a 9.8. Drove back passed us and no cage. Didnt see him again obviously.

[PIGSTi]

That was the old speedworks car I am pretty sure, if not it's an exact replica, it has done 9's before so not sure why it was actually allowed to run without a cage.

Drive to plex
Drop skid's
Drive home

Over all a fun night and can't wait to smash some more boost in get some slicks on the rear and see what it's capable of.

On that note, the old man might bring it down to high tech titles with some slicks and changed susp setup to see if it can push 1.5 60ft's and low 11's

Just got home, records fallin all over the place. Was mint to see Judd set a 5.91 then Zappia go better again a minute later with a 5.90. Would be mad to see the 2 WA boys in the final but I bailed before the end..

Been ages since I've been to a big meet like that, good to see some of the guys who were racing years ago at Ravo are still around. Enjoyed it heaps!

[CA18NA]

well judd and zappia run in the finals, zappia 5.88 to judd's 6.12 (i think)
6x 5 second passes for the zappia crew. amazing racing!

[iluv2moan]

was simms racing his supra (not sure if its still camo)??

[CA18NA]

yeah, was there, didn't catch any times for it though

[datsqik]

Simms got thru to the semis but got beat by Puglia who went onto win the final against Racco. Racco one the first event so looks like he is the man to beat.

He was one of the guys I was referring to who I used to watch race out at Ravo.. Used to have a bright yellow car, was surprised to see it in camo, has it been that way for long? Haha..

Was some green and purple/blue datto/mazda sedan there, turbo rotary.. Was farkin nuts, I like.

Also saw Luke steering a rail and broke out, not sure if it was in qualifying or eliminations.

[iluv2moan]

nah was spotless once apon a time, had multi coloured paint scheme and graphics - but wrote that car off. this 'new' shell started off can-spec black b4 going camo

[AGIT8D]

Looked kinda can-spec camo, haha, maybe it's just not a gloss finish. Either way good to see he's still out there amongst it!

T-boned on a round about? So they pulled out in front of the other car? Thats not cool at all. Hope the pregnant woman and baby is ok.

On the way to the 'plex, and T-boned on the left at the roundabout.

Meaning, the pregnant woman didn't stop and give way to the right, carried on instead and T-boned them.

Non the less, hope all are okay.
