its that time again (drags)

[Mr Revhead]

he drove it like he stole it

[Lith]

He grew up in Levin. Seems to be the theme, one of the other guys there got 14.7 out of a basic bolton silvertop 20v

[Cakky]

i'd hope that i'd be somewhere in the high 14 bracket but i really need blacktop flywheel...

[flygt4]

generally blacktops will run in the low 15's.

its not just power and weight that affects it either, its how well you get off the line, how well you can shift gears, the powerband of the engine. its not always just the driver either, if your gearbox or clutch is tired it will affect your times too.

i found last year i had to shift really slowly or the it would bounce back out of gear, and also had a flatspot on the ecu if i shifted too fast. affected my times hugely so i had the slowest car with the most power having x power and y weight will nowhere near garantee a time

[B1NZ]

I've done many 14.9's with a blacktop at Masterton in an AE111 Levin

Thats awfully fast/quick. Any major mods?
Or was it exhaust/intake?
Lighten the car up any bit?
Tyres?

Definitively interested now seeing as i own a similar car.

had a nice exhaust, and an HKS panel filter replacement in a standard airbox. Had factory viscous LSD which probably helps a little

[Crucible]

Anyone know what time scrutineering starts, 8am?

[flygt4]

yeah usually finished at 930 sharp. i was the last car let through last time i went only stopped 3 times for repairs on the way over.

Just so everyone knows the burnout comp has been canned ...there was only 1 entry a couple of days ago

yay, people are finally realizing that tires are better for grip than making smoke - well done

I've been biting my tongue since he said that. More time for actual racing is all good with me!

There actually won't be more racing, burnout comps are always run after whatever racing there was on anyway.

[B1NZ]

I must make an effort to go and watch this season, Preferably when there is an import only day

[Mr Revhead]

me too, except a V8 only day!
street car drags bore me to tears. i want to see some SPEED and NOISE!

Although it is only a test n' tune tommorow

Would've loved to go today but I had to work untill 12:30 last night and tonight so............................

Tommorow however...............

[flygt4]

was a blistering hot day today.
not a bad day for toyota. heaps of very respectable times coming out, a little white gt starlet off here was running 13.2@109mph, slayed a few quick cars through the day.
was a nice auto 1jz soarer runinng in the 12's all day on standard turbos.
trueno_turbo had a few issues running ideal times and there was a mk4 supra turbo having issues putting down a decent time too.

[Crucible]

yeah was a nice day, I think Lith ran a few Mid 13s in his skyline today, he seemed pretty happy.

pitty about my times. I was expecting at least Mid 13s today with new tune and decent tyres, its got me puzzled aye lol.
Need to talk to a few people and see why its happening.

ill be back next month for sure!!!

[flygt4]

Lith the jammy bastard got down to 13.3 at end of day i think
the aristo was running nice times early on too.
oh and PC in his little bluetop 4age ae82 pulled a 15 flat , pretty impressive i think

KIWIMR2's old mr2 was there running late 12.8's on a new engine. guy driving it seemed disappointed at the 1.9sec 60ft's on street tyres , bloody mid engines.


don't worry too much trueno_turbo, you were still faster than all the supras there and you made it through the first round of eliminations only to be taken down by the mad volvo.

actually a good effort by the toyotas there today in 2wd turbo traditionally dominated by nissans.

[Lith]

Lith the jammy b**tard got down to 13.3 at end of day i think

Haha I did a 13.4 the run before that as well - when I did that I was pretty sure if I didn't stuff anything up my next would be a 13.3 Not the fastest time out there, but I was quite stoked with it being done how I drove there and how I drove away - no tricks etc. May have to get some sticky tires and shed some weight to see how deep into the 12s I can go haha.

I missed PCs time, thats awesome!!!! Very cool

[CAMB01]

Well i finished up 3rd overall in 4wd turbo

Got beaten by GTRPWR in the semi final (had him till half track then he just romped away).

Im sure i was the most underpowered evo there, and i was kicking butt.

Best time: 11.99 @ 110mph (pretty much standard car to )
But i broke it
Mine was the silver evo launching the sacks off it. 1.6sec 60 foots with .1 reaction times.

[flygt4]

ah i didnt realise that was you cambo1. you were coming out of the hole nicely. what did you break? seemed to be a lot of evos missing gears there today, consistancy seemed to be the key.
