That's the spirit. :)

[disc0-dan]

im down ! :-) gettin prepped now, 1st time the 180 will see the track

[peaknwa]

Im going next week if the weather holds off see if the stock axle can hold up first time the 32 will have been on the track

[Turbo2.6L]

I'll be there again tonight.

[monga]

Good luck Adam, hammer her down the track.

[Tre-Cool]

track wasnt too bad. tried a very old set of 17" MT ET's i had and ran a best of 11.026@124mph & 11.081@128mph when it wasnt flooding.

Still had wheelspin off the line and need to do some more fine tuning to fix the top end speed. 660 speeds were 168.xxkph.

[rstay]

i came, i saw, it rained, i went home

some fucking awesome runs but. couldn't be fucked waiting for a tractor to finish clearing technically 1.6k of dragstrip at 10km/h

[Turbo2.6L]

Ran a 11.2 & a few 11.3's @ ~126mph with softish launches. Track was decent imo.
Saw that [5LTR EATR] pulsar run 14's.

[RICEY]

14s lol

[vy ss ute m6]

Ran a 11.2 & a few 11.3's @ ~126mph with softish launches. Track was decent imo.
Saw that [5LTR EATR] pulsar run 14's.

Nice! Set the thing up for S/ST Dean, consistency plus with the auto!

14's from 5LTR EATR? That the one that chops everything V8 in sight?

[Turbo2.6L]

Yea i'm planning on running it at the first meet in late october :D
Apparently he chops LS1's hard iirc? Remember something about him wanting to line you up...
In all honesty though, could've just been having troubles on the runs i watched. Just seemed funny cause i remembered the arguments on here when i seen it lining up :lol:

[Lonewolf]

fark, cant even chop an n/a 2L, I did low 14's with 2.5 60' times.

cant wait to get back down this season, more mods, more revs and more traction.

[Turbo2.6L]

And more disappointment! :lol:
That's Drag Racing though!!

[Lonewolf]

in tradition of pulsar owners, i will chop you...

and yes, i expect more breakages and slow times :)

[Shauno]

5LTR ETA Man i think you need some new bearings or something...lol

Was awesome to watch you go down the strip dean!

[SSICK]

was fun.:)

i know my times arent the best for the power ive got.........but fuck me, some bloke with a claimed 460rwhp ve ss ute running low 14s......consistantly, 5LTR EATR shoulda lined him up.

[Turbo2.6L]

Cheers Shaun :D
Was that you racing tonight in the lancer? Seen one going down as i came down the return road but didn't think twice until now.

[Shauno]

Yeh man was keen for a few skids, but my clutch gave in mmm...

Infected was there too with his ranga.

[LooneyToons]

yeah infected was next 2 me in line up i didnt get a single pass or my money back rank.

[Shauno]

I got 3 runs in.

A mate went in his EA and only got one run before it rained out.

Ended up at alfreds kitchen !

[Turbo2.6L]

I got 3 runs as well, but didn't get there til after 6.
Pity it didn't get cancelled before 8pm or we could've got a free entry pass...

[mitchy]

I LUV ma R it fucking rocks and to date I have not been shamed by any 5LTR haha.... its a great feeling destroying all these 5L, 6L even 7L monstas in a pulsar haha...

about the only 5ltr you'd beat is

http://godshillisleofwight.co.uk/isle-of-wight-cider/images/Dry%205%20Litre.jpg

[Turbo2.6L]

Lets be fair, Bog Stock 5L Stato's probably don't run 14's :lol:

[ossie_21]

That's pretty optimistic Mitch!

[iluv2moan]

I got 3 runs as well, but didn't get there til after 6.
Pity it didn't get cancelled before 8pm or we could've got a free entry pass...

they never will.......

i went down there one time. got there at 5:30, lined up for ages (they delayed the start although it wasnt raining), after the first 10 or so cars went down it started to rain, looked like it was going to ease up but didnt. as soon as it struck 8, they called it game over.

went to the front gate and asked whats the changed of getting a refund since i didn tget a run etc and she just said u only get free passes if its cancelled before 8..

was pretty pissed off given i had 5 or 6 mates make the trek down

[stefan]

i was there last night having a bit of a watch. recognized a few from here. Shauno, saw your runs and 03xr6t saw you blitz it! nice work.
i was impressed with a white evo 6 that was there last night. im still not sure if it was real or a fake. it did do a front wheel skid at the start but one of the take off's we thought we saw all 4 wheels grip ??? anyways, should be back down next week if its good / better weather. pretty bumbed about the rain but

[Kilma]

Lets be fair, Bog Stock 5L Stato's probably don't run 14's :lol:
Dunno about the Holden yards, but Falcon 5Ls only run 15s stock with some freaks getting into 14s from memory.

[JBone]

Ran a 11.2 & a few 11.3's @ ~126mph with softish launches. Track was decent imo.
Saw that [5LTR EATR] pulsar run 14's.

I completely fucked the start(launching from 2-3000rpm) and had wound down the boost trying to be safe but obvisualy wound down too much!!!


Nice! Set the thing up for S/ST Dean, consistency plus with the auto!

Good on ya Gumby!!..


5LTR ETA Man i think you need some new bearings or something...lol

yeah dude .. that whine started on my way down to the plex.... then got worse..... i also have a slight wine from the diff now.. Shaun will sort it out for me next week...


about the only 5ltr you'd beat is

http://godshillisleofwight.co.uk/isle-of-wight-cider/images/Dry%205%20Litre.jpg

Righhtttttttt..........

I had all types of issues... after the track got dried...i re-boosted it up and decided to do some good launchs 5-6000rpm (was hesitant too do this as I have destroyed 3 G/B previously doing this) nailed launch but just spun 1st through to 2nd was crazy thought i was going to jump lanes as i was crossed... track was still wet.... ran mid 13 then...widh i had of had boost right and launch hard when it was dry then i wouldn't be having this bombardment!

Im confident with a little more prep this time... i'll be getting the 12's comfortably.. i dont wanna bang on here but you all need to know not everything was running right.... .. just got to get my launchs 60fts right..

In responce to tha v8 crap... comes with territory i know but i also know i have genuine 284BHP@all4's u do tha math!!

Mph out of interest?

[SLEEKA]

I'm going to go against the bandwagon and say kudos JBone, you've got something different.

A turboed FWD car isnt most peoples cup of tea, but a little turbo 4banger in a light car can be quite abit of fun. I have a ST162 celica that runs a 3SGTE in FWD and the first time i got was a 14.2. By the end of the night i was down to 13.3 and got a personal best of 13.0 at 180km/hr. Traction in a FWD car is always going to be hard and add that with the power curve of a turbo motor it creates some issues.

Practice makes perfect and if you're getting a trap speed of 180ish km/hr a 12s will be on the cards if you get the launch down pat.

With plates like 5LTR EATR its going to raise eyebrows haha.

Also the 5LTR in the commo was shite from factory. Of course he doesnt mean that he can beat every 5LTR that has 50k spent on it, but drive a VS commo with a 5LTR in it and they only thing they do for me is make a nice tune. A LS1 or LS2, thats another story..

GTi-R is AWD...

[SLEEKA]

See thats what you get when you dont read the whole thread, i just assumed with all this talk of poor 60 footers and spinning 1st and 2nd it was FWD ... :slap:

disregard approx 50% of my last post then :D

[xr6tego]

If it eats the 5litres, i'd hate to see what it does to our little 4 litre taxi's. Watch out Dean!

I've been given a few free passes after it's been cancelled, one time i even got one after it was cancelled around 7:40pm.

Dude, my car has potential to run 9's... But it doesn't!
If i stripped it, through a powerglide, 9" and 4 link in, ran full slicks etc etc it would, but i haven't done it so don't boast about it. Making excuses is the oldest trick in the book.
Power isn't the only factor as to whether or not you'll run good times.
Only reason i was even interested in watching your car last night is because you big noted it in your showcase thread and i thought it was gonna be quick. I could swear you said it could run 10's? What mph did you run?

That means sweet fuck all after you boast about how quick it is. Golden rule - your car is, by no means, a 10, 11 or 12 second car, until it runs that time.

Making excuses just looks pathetic. I'm not criticising you, but a suggestion for the future - I'd do alot more walking, and alot less talking. Actions speak louder then words.

[JBone]

comes with the territory i guess having the plates i have I LUV IT... anyway no more excuses... i'll be down there .... again for sure will work on launchs.. and this time maybe not rush balls to get there and hope for the best!!..

I still had a ball FUCK ANYONE who feels the need to still continue bashing me efforts i thought this forum was all for banter all that shit before about the 5L, 6L was all tounge in cheeck regarding my plates,id luv ta run 11's doubt i will though !!... man!!..... well okie dokie then!! i'll keep my freindly banter for those who can take it..

[JBone]

APART FROM ALL THE ABOVE.............

Stil luv tha GTIR even if it didn't perform for me Wednesday night... MEH!!,.

There will be other nights ....... i just luv the obvious aggression, conversation, argogance my plates bring out in offending people haha... im winning there for sure .

[PSI 304]

well okie dokie then!! i'll keep my friendly boasting for those who will believe it..

Fixed :)

fixed:lol:

[Tocchi]

fuck i should of got [VEYRONETA] on the EF then

[PSI 304]

I dunno what the EF's run standard but i was of the impression you can crack 13's out of a GTi-R standard? All this extensive work on you car hasnt given you much gain has it JFail?

[hopey]

We are all car lovers and are all trying to get the best out of our cars, some times conditions and the car are not at the best they can be, how about we try support each other and not carry on about number plates . Some times shit happens and you will run a shit time (every one fucks up) but fuck who really cares. I have a Gtir and Jbone's Gtir destroys me on any occasion on the street and i run 12's and mine is pretty standard. Thank you for your time.

[hopey]

oh and we all have traction issues in the wet even if its 4wd fwd or rwd, even bikes. Im not trying to make excuses im just telling it how it is.

CSB.

Maybe read previous posts, then make a judgement. Noone is criticising the guy for driving skills.

Just a lesson that actions speak much louder then words. Proof is in actual times, not expectation/dreams/hopes/aspirations/braggin/etc.

[hopey]

Im not saying anything about driving skills. I'm saying about the conditions vs the car. I'm just saying we are here for the same reason why do people criticize and why do you have to prove yourself with 1/4 mile times i don't understand this. Am i missing something or are people just wankers.

[Lonewolf]

you're new here right?
lol

[hopey]

ok yeah i havent posted much but i have been here for a while. Well fellow pulsar owner how much shit did you get about your car, personally i like your car because its different and you have built it really well and are getting great times out of it.

I cop plenty, i dont give a toss, I build my car for me, not to impress others.

I have no issue with the plates, or the car, or the driver, but when you go around sprouting power figures and will chop this and chop that, then you fail to do so, have to expect a bagging (especially around here)
Actions speak louder than words.

with AWD your 60' should be around a 2.0 flat or lower??

Jbone, MPH/KPH pleeeeeeeeeeease?

[KPWISHN]

Good time for the MPH there Hopey.

Nice innings last night by the way to beat the poms. 38 from 22 is a good effort. :)

[yeahlow34]

Exactly what I was wondering ;)

and I drive a 1400kg family car...

[Turbo2.6L]

oh and we all have traction issues in the wet even if its 4wd fwd or rwd, even bikes. Im not trying to make excuses im just telling it how it is.

Track was fine on Wednesday. I ran 11.21 in a rwd 1900kg family taxi

[hopey]

wasn't that be4 the rain though because i swear i saw you drive out of the line up area. after the rain it looked pretty slippery even though they dried it. Im not doubting Jbone's car or his abilities and im sure he will get his car running some very quick times in the future. oh and did anyone see the tonner blow the box in the snake pit then catch on fire.

[JBone]

MPH was 107 - 109....there at home n its friday n I'm not home I'm downing much deserved beers n shots @ tha Broken Hill... Ill confirm tomorrow morning the MPH .

[Kilma]

Until a cam only lsX hoses you...easily. Then they're winning :)
lsX motors are still 5.7L, so don't fit the plates.

The late AU 5L Falcons still only ran high 14s (mid 14s if you got a freak). Again, I don't know what the last of the 5L VT Commodores ran, but I don't think they would be much quicker.

[JBone]

with AWD your 60' should be around a 2.0 flat or lower??

dude... EXACTLY i know.... but i was obviosly having a little drama that night huh!..

Cheers James for the support and displayin ya slip.... showing where my original comments/remarks were coming from... but meh..

will have tha small issues sorted this week for another run next week...

hopefully i wont EPIC fAil my launchs again... my 60 ft time was like 3 seconds!!...... 3.88 seconds to be exact...

[KPWISHN]

hopefully i wont EPIC fAil my launchs again... my 60 ft time was like 3 seconds!!...... 3.88 seconds to be exact...

3.88 second 60's. :confused: No one is that bad at driving.

[JBone]

i know i know i know...... gotta sort that launch shit out i know :confused: ... should maybe practice some launchs instead of having running races huh:hammer:

[JBone]

3.88 second 60's. :confused: No one is that bad at driving.

:blah: oh n cheers for the vote of confidence buddy much appreciated:werd:

I'll get it sorted im sure ..... i noticed today both front CV boots looks like they imploded from the inside out ... do you think that might have been why it felt the axles were jumpin in then out at launch!!,... dunno all i know is next time im down tha plex im gonna do a little more prep!!

[KPWISHN]

Biggest bit of advice would be to try and be smoother with whatever you are doing. Ride the clutch more and just get off the line so you don't spin initially. Once your off the line properly go for your life. You must be getting severe axle tramp which is not only bad for your times but really bad for your driveline.

[Turbo2.6L]

Im not doubting Jbone's car or his abilities and im sure he will get his car running some very quick times in the future. oh and did anyone see the tonner blow the box in the snake pit then catch on fire.

Yep, before the rain.
What's your point? Jbone's times that i saw were also before the rain...

[mitchy]

Dam, thats a quick 60' Mitch! what power??

umm.. never had it dyno'ed, but fuck all probably ~220awhp :lol:

[hopey]

well i was just saying, no point really to it hey. I'm not trying to make smart comments i was just seeing if your quickest time was be4 of after the rain because i thought u left thats all. look i am just trying to defend my mate from comments that don't really need to be said. oh Number plates don't really matter some people have some i don't like but i don't mind its not my car. Jbone's 1/4 mile times were pretty bad but can be better just like my car hopefully it will be better next time i run it.

[JBone]

Hopey cheers for the support... i think a couple crew on this forum just took alot out of context about what i was tryin to say n report about what developments i had down tha plex...no drama though i look forward to running it down there again n sortin the few minor problems i was having cant fucking wait..

[Turbo2.6L]

Good luck with the 10sec pass :D

[JBone]

Good luck with the 10sec pass :D

what 10 sec pass??:confused: you keep reffering to this i never claimed a 10 sec run mate???... ..

I'm working towards a consistent low 12 thats the goal for now.....

[Turbo2.6L]

I thought that was what you were aiming for after reading your showcase thread? My mistake.

[JBone]

my showcase thread?...

[Turbo2.6L]

Sorry, the private track day thread & it was an 11sec pass...


Id be keen as for this ... .great day to fine tune and work on everything thats needed to do right for a succesful run!!..

Im not near 10's i dont think hoping for 12-11's..i havent had a run yet im going down this wed "weather permitting" so will have an idea but an organised day wit some crew is an EPIC idea......

Not being smart, was just putting a stop to the nonsense

[JBone]

THANKYOU!!!!!!!

ive been portrayed as a pingpingping wannabe try hard in previous posts above which of course I am not..

Im glad this is finnaly sorted.... never claimed i had a 10 sec car but still firmly beleive i should be able to crack low 12...

ANYWAY... well n truly nuff said here... not this wed but the next i'll be there come say hi and introduce yourself...if you like..

[wadragracing]

At 107-109mph you can definitely run a high 12. Mid 12 at a stretch. Probably not low 12s. Definitely not 11s.
I've run 12.6 at 108mph and that was with a 1.8 60 foot time so you will really need to nail the launch and the changes.

cheers for the support bud... yer need to get it of tha line better i know.... will also have my tune redone this time for 20psi instead of 15psi... so my mid range speed should increase !!

im going to have issues though with my top speed.... i have a limiter set for 180 as i have a short ratio GB.... if i get my launch and everything else needed yo get right for a good run i think im going to be at limiter before 1/4 mile!!!

I done a 12.40 @ 108mph with a 1.8 60foot time

So it does have a mid/low 12 in it

any half decent ECU can remove the speed cut, and you wouldnt have a speed limiter for a short ratio GB (what ratio's are you running?)

Why don't you perfect your launches before you up the boost...

[millzy_88]

Meh, if your going to run higher boost may as well perfect launches on higher boost. Or else youll have to learn again,

[duste]

Meh, if your going to run higher boost may as well perfect launches on higher boost. Or else youll have to learn again,

Yeah but if he can't handle the current boost on launches, how is he going to handle the higher boost?

But I do see what you're saying.

Each to their own.

running a Nistune atm - tuner will sort early next week for me

GB ratio's i think...actually cant find my GB slip that has the ratio's listed..but this would be pretty smack correct

track last night was good to go well to good for my gearbox haha ran pb of 11.7 at 124mph 60ft 1.87 will fix and line it up again

[gav_wah]

I got 3 runs in.

A mate went in his EA and only got one run before it rained out.

Ended up at alfreds kitchen !

Yes it was ghey only got one run before it pissed down hopefully be there on the 30th for some more fun see if can actually get off the line this time round..

[Turbo2.6L]

Track was bombed last night & fark all people showed up.
Got 14 runs in, 11 of those were 11.31 & under. 3 runs above that were due to wheelspin off the line from trialling new launch techniques & still managed 11.4 - 11.6.
Best of the night was my last run with 11.13 @ 127mph, 1.77 sixty footer.

[RICEY]

14 runs and you couldnt run a 10 ya wuss hahaha

[Turbo2.6L]

Haha tune has been backed off since the 10 & i was only running BP98 :p

Your car sounds porn man! i was the car behind you on the line when you blew your box.

My first time there last night had an good night got ten runs in
did a pb of 13.0 at 111mph 2.4 60'.

guessign u did the thrust washer??

i wouldnt waste my time trying to drag a heavy car with an r154, likewise converting to a tremec thinking it would be better.

good time and mph btw. fair bit more in it by looks

Nope not the box only an axle. Cars not that heavy it only 1300 it not that bad :). Im not into going to the drags all the time so want to keep it manual more fun for the street.

Good times, street tyres or MT's?

I got my best run at the end of the night after the burnouts on a hot lap. i.e did a run and returned to do another straight after.

11.165@131.19mph (211.12kph) was my best with all the others below 11.8@129mph.

Traction was limited for me. my best 60" was 2.085

[Turbo2.6L]

MT's for me, can't seem to go under 11.3's on street tyres as my sixty's are pretty dismal :lol:
Is your's tech'd for Super Sedan? Wouldn't mind picking your brain some time if it is...

[Tre-Cool]

nah it's not. it's basically ready. but im not bothering. Hence the dedicated shell and new motor.

I want to drive a manual again. 3 speed auto = fail for highway cruising.

unless your prepared to put in a 4 point cage for sub 11.00 i'd keep your car where it is.

I have run sub 10.7's on slicks and when they pulled me up they told me to pack it in. so i just put the street tyres on and continue racing.

all they are worried about is the 1/8 & 1/4 et's. or if your faster than 100mph by 660 mark, but as long as you have the minimum safety stuff to run in super street your golden.

[Turbo2.6L]

Got a cage on the way but just need to know what else they want for sub 11.00 on WAW's. Not looking to run Super Sedan, just want to be able to rock up & run what i run without hassles is all...
Plan is to go 10.2's with new engine/turbo combo..

The rules for sub 11.00 passes are the same as super sedan.
For 10.00 - 10.99 you need
4 point cage
4 point harness
Fire proof driving suit, gloves and boots
Window net or arm restraints
Longer wheel studs front and rear
SFI rated flywheel/flexplate and harmonic balancer
If it a manual you need a SFI rated steel bellhousing / or trans shield for autos.
Battery isolator
Tailshaft loop
UDL ( unlimited drag licence )
Vehicle log booked and tech inspected every 2 years
And if you run under 10.00 you need a 6 point cage and a 5 point harness.

Hope that helps. :)

[Torquen]

^^^ dosn't really make your car super practicle on the street.

[yeahlow34]

^^^ dosn't really make your car super practicle on the street.

Huh? The only real noticeable difference is the cage and harness. Harness is as easy as simply removing when on the street, and if correctly built, the cage should barely noticeable.

Step up to sub 10.00passes is slightly more with the side bars to the cage. Still these can be removeable also.

No real difference, aside from cost.

[Torquen]

I dont know about you but a cage in a daily car would shit me to tears. The rest of the list isnt so bad (apart from cost :( )

[Tre-Cool]

the 4 point in my ute has side intrusions. but they are at the "right" height so as to not interfere when getting in and out of the car.

[Kilma]

I'll be down there tonight on 2 wheels (possibly 1 for parts of the night).

All you need on a bike to run 10s is a jacket, jeans, shoes, gloves, an approved helmet and a bike that is capable. Love it. :D Not as big of an achievement as a car running 10s though. :(

See ya there then. i'll be down in the ve and my dads ute.

Both going for 11's.

[Kilma]

Will do. Be good to catch up. Haven't seen you in ages.

What's the setup on your old man's ute?

[Kilma]

I haven't ever experienced a track like last night before. My first 2 runs of the night, no worries. After that, it all went downhill though. I was launching at 3-4,000rpm (very low for a motorbike), and just couldn't get any traction. Last 2 runs of the night I tried granny launching (getting rolling slowly, then feeding the power on), and even while rolling, still no traction. That's too scary for me on the motorbike, so just letting off the accelerator and getting grip again is the safest option. Here are my times from the night, in order.

Time – ET - Trap Speed - 60’
6:06pm - 10.994 - 130.43mph/209.00kph - 2.057
6:32pm - 10.897 - 133.92mph/215.52kph - 2.054
At this point, I was very excited, as I was heading towards a new PB. How wrong I was. :(
7:13pm - 12.617 - 124.65mph/200.60kph - 2.813
8:01pm - 12.808 - 129.12mph/207.79kph - 3.207
8:51pm - 14.297 - 121.13mph/194.93kph - 3.074
Then I tried granny launching. Still didn’t work.
9:28pm - 14.613 - 111.11mph/178.81kph - 3.156
9:42pm - 13.328 - 126.4mph/203.42kph - 2.970

So I retract some of what I have said about crap tracks. I was getting better traction in take offs on Tonkin Hwy on the way home (trying to figure out where the hell I was going wrong) than I was on the drag strip.

Also saw this Evo 8 MR that the guy bought from Fabcar recently. I only saw him running 13.8, but don't know if he got better than that.

There was a Jeep 4WD that ran 13.9s all night, and congrats again to Shane for running 10 flat.

[Nemi]

See ya there then. i'll be down in the ve and my dads ute.

Both going for 11's.

wow 11's you really have fallen well behind the 8ball haven't you.

God that EVO was hot. It was in the lane next to us most of the night. Seriously everything on it was immaculate.
I'm pretty sure this was sitting at Fabcar for ages.

[Tre-Cool]

wow 11's you really have fallen well behind the 8ball haven't you.
Not quite.

1900+kg of VE fat to move.

I got an 11.7 and a couple of 11.8's. But the blower has belt issues and was running about 3psi instead of 10.

[Jizz-Lebrity]

Saw that MR, as well as [ASSASIN]. Did want!

I was there in (on) the 250cc work shitter, and failed......consistently. Five x 17.4 second passes all at 74 MPH with 2.7 second 60's :(

Well done on Zaff getting his 11!!! Has a very low 11 or even a high 10 in it if you get some MT's and nail a 1.6-1.7 60' :D

[Kilma]

Ah. That was you. You raced my housemate a few times on the CBR250RR. If it makes you feel any better, by the end of the night he scored a 13.7 on that bike. I was the guy on the blue GSXR1000.

[Jizz-Lebrity]

Fucking nice riding! Absolutely makes me feel better......................... :)

Clutch didn't get any better, would just squeal it's arse off trying to launch. Korean bike + grip + my lard ass fails :(

[zeroyon]

13.7 is quick for a cbr250, mods ??

[Kilma]

We thought so as well. He was running 14s all night, then last pass of the night, he busted out a 13.7!! I know it has an aftermarket can (he changed it to a softer one worth $120 from a wrecker because the one it had when he bought it was stupidly loud). Don't know what else it has, but there aren't any serious mods.

[Yorik]

That'd be one of my bikes. Apparently it has larger jets then standard, so it might have had a bit of a rebuild in the past, it's doen 54,000kms and goes pretty damned hard for a 250 4 banger. I think with a decent launch and more clutchless upshifting (foreign to me, just hate it) that I can get a high 13.5..

Time was a 13.791 btw and although it was a good launch, it could be better and I only clutchless shifter 3rd-4th and 4th-5th..

It goes surprisingly well IMO, nothing crazy though. The conditions were just perfect for it. I could get it warm before the line (it runs cold) and launching at around the 16-18krpm mark by dumping the clutch it would slip at around 14krpm until the drivline caught up with engine.

It terms of mods, it just has upgrade headlights, LED instrument lights and double bubble screen. As Kilma said I changed it back to a stock can as the one I got was astronomically offensively loud.

EDIT
Also here is a vid of one of the guys from the night.

Why getting out of the gas is sometimes a good idea! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OLeaykxBOw&feature=player_embedded)

[Jizz-Lebrity]

That stack was an awesome show, he was only a couple of bikes ahead of us from memory.

Great riding mate, what kind of MPH were you running?

[Turbo2.6L]

Not as bad as i thought.
Cheers Shane :D

[Jizz-Lebrity]

I saw "03xr6t" & was hoping for some Dean/small man pingpingpingping comment, since I posted above. Comment not made, cut me deep :(

[Turbo2.6L]

Who's heading down tomorrow night?

[reNEGade]

MOTIVE DVD? so a few more serious boys will be down to get filmed doing their stuff

[Tre-Cool]

Who's heading down tomorrow night?

Might head down in the ute and see if i can get a 10 on the street tyres.

Got close the other week.

[Yorik]

14.574 @147 kmh (60’- 2.5)
14.476@148 kmh (60’- 2.5)
14.435@148 kmh (60’- 2.28)
14.230@149 kmh (60’- 2.33)
14.184@143 kmh (60’- 2.33)
13.791@151 kmh (60’- 2.148)

Can't be arsed converting the MPH for each one, but everything from an 87 to a 92 MPH in those runs.

Second to last run has low trap speed as I sat up and slowed down before the trap as I thought I had crossed the line already. I had my eyes glued to the tacho for the 19krpm changes, which makes me laugh pretty hard and I was using my peripheral vision to keep in the lane. Hardcore tinted screens (ambulance style tint) don't really let much light through.. I was pretty annoyed with myself for sitting up as I knew it could've been faster. Made up for that on the last run.
