[Si]

suck ::::::::::(((

[flygt4]

cloudy with patches of blue. id say theyll start racing this morning at least.

[flygt4]

postponed til 2moro 10am. the weather teased all day , it was fully fine for brief moments

[Si]

Twas bloddy sunny out there today. I have returned in someform of a shade of pink.

some noticeable times (that i can remember),

RB30 powered R32 GTST - 12.9 @ 118mph

Honda Civic turbo (GT3072) 12-something

RB20 Powered S13 - 13.0 (twice!)

[flygt4]

yeah the orange civic did a 12.4@121

i found it pretty slippery my best 60ft i could manage was 2.6 , with wheelspin all they way thru 2nd to 100km. the guys with street and semi tyres were suffering most, the guys with proper drag slicks found traction somehow.
pretty shitty day for me really , with no times worthy of note. seems i had the same issues as i had last year, with either shifting too fast or too slow. i did one perfect run , but redlighted as they had reset the tree and i mistook the cycling thru the lights as the countdown bugger.

yeah looked like you had heaps of wheelspin, a mate was racing his skyline and said they changed the light settings on the second run without anyone knowing.

what did that black 20v turbo pull do you know?

the burnouts were crap

[CAMB01]

Hey my mate had entered his car in the burnouts, and i must say i was impressed by his effort, an old rwd lancer with a 2.0 sigma motor in it, standard as sitting in fourth gear smoking it up

I am also pink

The RB30 GTSt was on road tyres, the RB20 S13 had slicks which were brand new, and behaving like normal road tyres up until the 2nd 13.0 where it hooked up and made him bog haha. One more run should have got a 12.

The Civic has GT3540R, 306fwkw and no traction..

An R33 GTS25t did a 12.4 @ 119mph. Bastard.

watching those races has really got me going to get a car and get my 4agte into it
it seemed the less the powerful cars were having a good day as there was not a lot of grip out there.

damn i wanted to be out there, could have scared a couple of 4agte's with my gze

oh yeah seen that, wtf was with that L300 man????

IMO a car looking mint with big horsepower, big revs, big smoke are the ones that take the cake, even If they dont blow a tyre.

My car will be ready then, see if I can loose it and hit a barrier

[CAMB01]

the next drag meet is on the 16th and 17th of december, its not an import meet, but imports can still race.
I probably still wont be racing

That L300 was a crack up it just drove around in circles.
I have to say the 180sx was fun to watch.

the black 20v turbo got a 14.7 in the end i think. stock n/a bottom end too. yeh nobody could get any grip at all , later in the day the drag tyres seemed to start performing , but street tyres were a waste of time. i couldnt do better than a 2.6 60 ft , and i had constant wheelspin in 2nd up until 100km. also have a strange flatspot if i change gear too quickly , which i had last year and its driving me nuts. suspect its ecu related ,so may have to bin the old link.

[Dell'Orto]

What trapspeeds were you getting J?

[flygt4]

usually 102-103 mph , which still isnt that good in itself , but the 1 run i got perfect , with clean changes and no flatspot , i was around 15km faster over the line. unfortunately that run was redlighted and I got no time

[Dell'Orto]

Bugger....need to perfect a transverse Hollinger or something
