[zeroyon]

Hello all you racers !!!

Drag Combat is back and the date draws nearer.

[img]http://antilag.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=768&stc=1[img]

April 23rd at the Motorplex.
Some info is up on the motorplex web site.
http://www.motorplex.com.au/calendar/drag_racing/event_drag_combat.html

The Drag combat web site is undergoing some rebuild and I am told will be up in a fortnight.

Once again Antilag.com has come through for you guys. If we get together a large number of Pre-Entries(has to be pre-paid also) we get a solid discount on the entry free. Exact pricing is TBA.

Each drag event Antilag has been to our numbers get bigger and bigger. Lets see if we can really out-do ourselves this year :D

Hands up if your keeen ...................

[RRob]

I'm in for sure

[magic1]

well, make no promise but i will try to get there.

[RRob]

I'll lend you a piston

[SYK STI]

im in (wanting 11s) can i use your front runners for the event or will your car be on the road

[[RX2]]

my rx3 wont be andra legal still, & the r32 is too slow so ill have to spectate this time.

[TJ]

im keen , regardless of how slow its rb20de will push it

i hope cabin has sorted thier shit also !

come on antilag, lets show the other guys what we do best :)

[zeroyon]

SYK33 if no silvia, there yours to borrow :). I'll be racing no matter what though, even if its a "hire special" .....

Rx3+r32 ... bring the R32 anyhow mate. Its not about how fast, its about how many Antilag cars we can get racing at the event .... hehehe :)

Always wanting variety of cars too. More FWD's and burnout cars are needed, have to get a car in every class.

[JME]

i'll be there!

[Boza]

i'll be there!

doing 10's?

[Brockas]

I might see how fast my boat can go down the quarter, hoping for 13's :p

any idea on entry price yet?

[JME]

doing 10's?

That's the intention...

[zeroyon]

Last year was like $75 retail and $50 cheap pre-entry through Antilag.com.

Give or take a few dollars. Its quite exxy so we are keen to get the numbers to make a discount.

[Boza]

That's the intention...

nice... :)

[TJ]

only 10's?

weak jme, weak.



:) go get them bro

[Boza]

all i hope is that it goes down there and owns the gtr's...!!

[JME]

Hahahahah i no say nothing......only real weakpoint in the driveline is the baby R160 diff (which i'll have a spare or two on hand) If i really wanted the times, an auto would be the way to go, but drag racing is only a quarter of the fun :-) but i'll give it a decent go anyway!!!

Jme

And maybe some Antilag Only Prizes :)


..

[ScarifieR]

ill be in
see if i can run a 13 for once

[GhostFc3s]

This year Cabins Drag combat is being run under ANDRA regulations, this means that the classes should be sports compact and cars having to fall into the regulations of those classes. You should find out what class your car falls into.


http://www.andra.com.au/technical/SCREGS0405W.htm

[wadragracing]

I remember there was talk a while ago about cars that came out with V8 engine options not being permitted, a lot of conjecture over that as it ruled out some sport compact mainstays such as VL turbos or Soarers (me!). I had a look through the rules but couldn't see anything referring to this, does anyone know if it went in?

Otherwise I'll be in, see if I can't do some 14.7 second damage to the Sport RWD dial your own ranks! Hahaha.

Would be keen to know if there is a mass entry discount as was referred to earlier.

[got boost]

just saw on pac's website they have said they'll be coming to perth for drag combat

[Milhouse]

sounds the goods, finally a good organised event.

without 2 tonnes of trevs :)

[suburban]

PAC - awesome !

hope they bring some competition with them from east!

[Brockas]

last i heard the V8 optioned cars (me) are excluded.

that really really sucks....

[Wanker]

I'll be spectating, unless I get a new clutch and a bigger turbo before then....

[Syncope]

Should be in yeah.

[Milhouse]

why would an optioned motor stop a car from competing ?

does this mean robs ute cant compete because a v8 was an option ?

[munchmunch]

the over east rotaries arnt competition for us there in a league of there own

[Shaolin242]

Should be in yeah.

Im guessing 14.2s

Heueheuehueheeueheuyeheuheueheuheueheueeheuehepingpingpingping heueheueheueheueheueheeheueheueuheeh

[Brockas]

why would an optioned motor stop a car from competing ?

does this mean robs ute cant compete because a v8 was an option ?


that is the assumption yes. I would really want to enter, but looks like I/Rob/wadragracing/ferret are all excluded.... pretty shit...

[wadragracing]

Brockas,

I am talking with John Baremans from Drag Combat about Soarers competing, there was a rule brought in to stop guys transplating say a 2JZ into a Pontiac drag car for example.

The good news however is that there is a rule proposal currently being considered to allow Soarers and VL Commodores (turbos in both cases) to compete, whether or not this will be in before then or not I do not know. I will let you know.

Hopefully Pac will make it over this time, last year's Easter dates messed things up a bit. Archie Kawjewski (6.99/201mph) may also be racing.

I've just come back from the Summernationals at WSID (rained out unfrotunately) and saw the Pac guys, Joe Signorelli and Bill Nabhan all racing, some pretty awesome cars. Hopefully we'll see a few of them over to compete with the likes of Terry Stacey (7.99 Mazda RX7) and Brett Glover (8.7 supercharged rotary Datsun).

[Milhouse]

sounds like the goods to me.

Battle of the 4 Doors :P

[Damarus]

Id come down and support the FWD class, but id be running 15's at best... So i think ill hold out until i got enough money 2 either get serious with the pulsar, or buy a new car :lol:

[zeroyon]

The_Luke, We always have a lack of FWD cars last time we had TWO racing.

So FWD cars are desperatly needed, please race :)

[Damarus]

Hmm well ill think about it. As slow as i am :P Car isnt ready at the moment, desperately needs a service etc, but i shall get that done soon and we will see...

[FLYZUKI]

Trying to make it for the FWD boyz... (there's still time)
if the car is finished in time...
:werd:

[Milhouse]

as i've heard from a few people, its not how fast your car is

its how consistant your times are... you could have a 17second car and win :P

as long as you can guess your dial in good.

i'd take the laser, but it wouldnt even break a 17second... which is the maximum for the event.

[wadragracing]

That's right, consistency is what wins, so unless you are racing Pro FWD you don't need to worry about how quick you are.

I'd encourage you to come down, support of these events is what makes them great, and 15 seconds isn't too bad for a front wheeler.

On another note for Soarer owners and such, I spoke to John Baremans who runs the series today and he says there will be a place for us to race, it may be in a separate bracket because of the rules but at least you can race!

[Brockas]

On another note for Soarer owners and such, I spoke to John Baremans who runs the series today and he says there will be a place for us to race, it may be in a separate bracket because of the rules but at least you can race!

good to hear, still don't think we should be in a seperate bracket, but i will be glad if i can even enter.

anyone know about entry forms/price yet?

[wadragracing]

I agree Brockas but drag Combat has aligned itself with ANDRA Sport Compact rules this year so until the rule change goes through this i the best we'll be able to do!

Entry prices are still being worked out, my guess would be around $80. A bit pricier than a Wednesday night yes but there is track prep, prizes, etc to pay for.

[zeroyon]

Spoke to them today,

Still waiting on confirmation of prices and entry forms.

We will be getting our discount though if we get 20 + people. It will be well worth getting in early with antilag.

From what I understand the main thing there working is the class's at the moment.

So I will keep you guys posted :)

[Milhouse]

32 shitter will be there... lets hope i make it hahahha

last year, the laser died on the night before the event :(

[Adsport]

to stay on the discussion about cars that had a v8 model as option, although it is a factory option, the other option is also a factory fitted motor? in relation to the 2jz pontiac point, pontiac's never (to my knowledge) came out with a 2jz from the factory. i cant see how this argument can be justified by a motorsport body banning a car with a factory fitted motor even if a boat anchor was an option, and besides wouldnt it be able for reclassification, having a different VIN code and all? i doubt every organiser of such events would be able to tell the difference on paper with a bunch of chassis numbers in their face??

either way looks like Rob is out at the moment, but wouldnt diversity account for something?? not every day you see a rb25-det ute haha

[zeroyon]

It may sound harsh but thats the way it is some times.

AFAIK Rob got to run on the Fords / Holdens night just gone.

If I stuck a 351 windsor into my Silvia, I dont think anyone would expect them to let me run at ford vs holden. Lines have to be drawn somewhere.

However un-fair that seems sometimes.

Please dont get me wrong by this, I plan to do everything possible to make sure the soarers and Rob's ute can run at drag combat. I do agree it would be tops to have them racing.

[wadragracing]

OK here are the classes they plan on having:

Combat Xtreme- Open to full tube chassis import-powered competition type sedans, dragsters and altereds. All qualify. Dial your own. Three-round format applies.

Sport RWD - Open to full bodied street cars using 4, 5 and 6 cylinder and 2 rotor rotary engines with rear wheel drive and all wheel drive. Weigh breaks apply based on engine type and number of power adders . Full street exhaust and street DOT rated tyres. Dial your own format. 16 car field.

Sport FWD - Open to full bodied street type cars using 4, 5 and 6 cylinder power and front wheel drive. Minimum weight breaks apply based on engine type and number of power adders. Full street exhaust and street DOT rated tyres. Dial your own. 16 car field.

Oz Mod - Reserved for RWD cars only using 4 and 6 cylinder and 2 and 3 rotor rotary engine. No Full chassis or back half cars allowed. Slick tyres with a maximum size of 28” x 9” permitted. Weight breaks apply.

Oz 6 - Open to all Aussie produced late model (post 1986) 6 cylinder-powered cars. All qualify. Dial your own. Slicks allowed.

Sport Bike - Open to all Japanese produced late model sport bikes. Dial your own. All qualify. Street tyres only. No wheelie bars and no slicks.

ET1 (0-14.99) - Open to all cars running up to 14.99 seconds. Late model V8 powered imports accepted.

ET2 (15.00 over) - Open to all cars running elapsed times slower than 15.00 seconds.

So Soarers and RB25-powered utes can go into the ET classes. At least it is a place to race.

The whole premise of the rule was to stop racers planting import engines in typical V8 car, which because drag racing is based around the V8 in most cases, means the chassis have already been developed, there are lots of cars to buy etc. I agree with the rule really, because the sport compact drag racing scene should be different, it shouldn't just be more v8 cars but with funny engines in them.

Unfortunately the rule took in a few cars it wasn't meant to, namely the Soarer and the VL Turbo. This is being changed with the rule change mentioned previously.

By the way, here is what I mean by 2JZ Pontiac: http://www.fullboost.com.au/content/racing/drag/2004/willow_04_09_jam_1/willow_04_09_jam_1_081b.jpg

[mazda]

i should be able to make the sport fwd class, my 626 should be running a full KLZE setup by that time, should be able to pull down some 14's if my driving is any good

[zeroyon]

Sounds fairly good.

One thing I dont see the point of is the "ET2" class. One thing we discuss quite often on the fast fridays is there is not much interest in 15 second cars.

Make more sense in my mind to run say

ET1 = 0 - 13.50(or 13.00)
ET2 = 13.50 - 15.5

and cut of anyone that cant run better then a 15.5.

In perth I doubt you would get more then three or four 15 + second cars turn up.

[HotAe92]

as i've heard from a few people, its not how fast your car is

its how consistant your times are... you could have a 17second car and win :P

as long as you can guess your dial in good.

i'd take the laser, but it wouldnt even break a 17second... which is the maximum for the event.

so if my car ran a 18, i couldnt enter. My mate with a VR4 told me to enter and i was like :dizzy: . but then i learnt that the competition runs on dial in. but i dont think i want to enter, for the simple fact that ill have the slowest car there and ther isnt no prize for that this time.

[Brockas]

so if my car ran a 18, i couldnt enter.

i think that was what he was getting at yes. The event, like most, is based around entertainment. Im not sure how many people will pay to see cars run 18 second passes all day.

Having said that, there appears to be an entire division devoted to cars running 15+ seconds.... which makes for an odd event, but i guess they know what they are doing. Also sounds like there were bugger all FWD cars last year, so they may have changed brackets to encourage more FWD cars to enter.

[B0BB0]

The event, like most, is based around entertainment. Im not sure how many people will pay to see cars run 18 second passes all day.

thats it, ppl will have to fork out about 30$ to watch, and the last thing they would want to see is 15+sec cars. fair enough u ppl want to have a go at the drags, but i think a wensday night would be more suited.

i view DC as a elite even, hence i think it should be sub 15sec cars.

[Kandy_man]

So you wont be racing Bobbo?? :lol:

[Milhouse]

hahahah

the serb basher gets a taste of his own medicine :P

[B0BB0]

haha, maybe i should say 14sec to see u out french fry.

i will be racing, should have pfc then, so hope for flat 12s.

serb bash, haha, i am bad, it happens almost as much as the cas bash.

[Damarus]

Meh im not gonna bother entering anymore (sorry guys :boink:). Its extremely likely the car wont be ready, and even if i can pull a 15 flat doesnt look like im gonna have many fans despite adding another fwd for antilag :spank:

[nd4spd]

bobbo we will just put simons engine in your car hahahahha and give ita good run in lol

[B0BB0]

haha good idea, however, we will have to get the toilet air freshner on it, to remove the fowl smell. :p

[TJ]

i should be there bashing out some 15's

[Kandy_man]

B0BB0 wrote :

You wouldnt be that mean bobbo!!! hahaha

I might have to spend some more $$$ then :(

[B0BB0]

yeh thats an idea.

[to4garret]

hrmmm, sounds like good fun.

i wonder if they have a "cough tar out of lungs event" cause i think thats what would happen to me if by some miracle my bmx got past scrutineering :D


hurry up boat, get my damn car here :(

[got boost]

spoke to keir wilson in s aust he said hes coming to perth for DC. some serious 4wd chop chop action

[sLOW navara]

:monkeys: :bukkake: i will enter for a bit of fun and a laugh see what the big girl can put down. can i run the full neon kit when going down the 1/4 mile

[GhostFc3s]

Its good to see the frame work for an organised event is there lets hope that cabin and/or the motorplex pull it off. And if you havent been to an event and are not sure what your car is capable of, maybe leave it till another event to bring the car out. This should be a show case of our performance scene not a 15 second shitter meeting

[sLOW navara]

:op: so what your saying is that my car dosn't meet antilags standards so i souldnt bring it so i don't down grade antilags image on the day?
my car may not be the nices car out there in looks but you will be surprised what it will run

[mk1sr20]

:monkeys: :bukkake: i will enter for a bit of fun and a laugh see what the big girl can put down. can i run the full neon kit when going down the 1/4 mile

u may need some sand bags in the back ay with all that horse power
u just lucky i'm bussy that weekend because i'd hose u in my escort

[zeroyon]

maybe leave it till another event to bring the car out

No way .. we want any and all cars out.

i'll say it again !!

THIS IS THE PREMIER EVENT FOR OUR TYPE OF CARS

SO EVERYONE GET YOUR CARS READY FOR SOME SERIOUS FUN IN APRIL

[zeroyon]

Some support for Got Boost's comments too.

I spoke to Drag Comabt crew today and they said that Kier Wilson had made contact with them and they are in the process of seeing whats required to get him here.

So its looking quite good.

Also said that he would be bringing two cars the GTR and his "road" car .... :)

If your unsure who Kier Wilson is get a copy of Serious Performance 7 or have a look here --> http://www.fullboost.com.au/records.php?class=10#fullBOOST#

[Brockas]

hope the cops dont find out that there is a ca18det living in the engine bay of my car

then it would be an idea to not post that on a public forum...

[TJ]

why not, its a nissan engine, still a diesel pinger , like the old engine!

I WANT TO SEE EVERY POSSIBLE PERSON OUT THERE RACING!

[sLOW navara]

what you trying to say that ca18s are shit ?

[[RX2]]

what you trying to say that ca18s are shit ?
i think he means nissan donks 4 + 6's love to ping!

[Milhouse]

i thought he meant any engine besides the RB's run on diesel ?

i've heard some pretty truckish sounding rb's in my time...

[Corey]

Ill Be Racing The Turbo Deisel Injection Truck :lol:

Let me know details

Cheers

Corey

[pshrdeta]

ill try and get friend down in fastest sr20 in australia-8.62 hopefully they can pull the quickest 4 cylinder at the meet-should do it piece of piss

[got boost]

DC is slowing slippin out of reach for me
new engine still in pieces and not even machined.looks like some rb20 bashing if at all.

[TJ]

rb20's love a good bash , you know this :)

or ask paul nicley to borrow the old donkey for the day :)

[Skrappy]

I could come down but id take half a day to get down the strip on one run. :lol:

Think il give this a miss somehow. :)

Will be great to go down and watch all the antilag cars going down the strip. Be interested what sorta time your car get corey.

[B0BB0]

Cabin sent me a pack with all the info and entry forms,

Prices are

Street $80 - inc car. driver. 1 crew [$120]

Competition $120.00 - inc car. driver. 3 crew. and tow car pass [$150]

skids - $40 extra paid on day

*the price in the [] are of entries recieved after 15th of april.

Antilag will hopefully have better prices that this, but thats simmo's deal.

and for people spectating $25 adult, $60 family (2+3), $10 Children

simmo if ya want the form i can scan for ya.

[13_devil]

BOBBO got the same thing :)

Burnout Warz is free if your racing or else its $40

Show and Shine is $40 or if antilag gets 6 or more cars its only $30 a car.

I think the increase in price is because now the racers are ANDRA Sport Compact classess, which means are classes are like Sport RWD, Sport FWD, Oz Mod, Oz 6, Sport Bike, ET1 (0 to 14.99), ET2 (15.00 over)

[zeroyon]

Its ok I have the forms in PDF.

Just working out an Antilag entry, will hopefully be back in Perth and can orginise it soon.

Cheers anyhow bobbo :)
