Night Speed Drag Wars 17th March, PICS (not 56k friendly)

Postby ROBODISCO_20v » Tue Mar 21, 2006 8:57 pm

Who here went to the last one of the season on friday 17th? That bloody crydon supra kissed the wall & pretty much ruined the night, but i guess thats motorsport. There where quite a few 4AG powered cars there. If you where one of them let me know how you got on. I only got 4 runs & ran a best of 15s flat. My first two runs i red lighted & my last was after the supra crashed & the track was quite slippery

I have a video of it doing a 7.8 @ 177mph, and heard rumour it may have gone down to a 7.6 at a smidge over 180mph. Quite interesting to see it in NZ.... don't know what motor is has now, if its different to what it was.

I think that it was mid 13's but I could be mistaken there, so apologies if it was faster. Traction seemed to be an issue :P

The fastest I saw Brad run in the red starlet was a 13.18 on the night.
He said he's run 12s before. He was struggling for traction. The shift light was on for over half the track

I was told he's capable of running 30-35psi and i've seen his nitrous bottle in the boot. Those Whangarei Beaurepaires guys sure build some cool cars ;)

The red Supra runs a V8 with turbo - or does the Venom run one a turbo V8 as well??? Note - the red V8 Supras PB is "only" a 9.
