AWD Assistance for Weak Drivers

I'm loving that one...

Mate you should go to a Subbie Evo or GTR forum and post that one they'd love you......

[IH8TEC]

i saw it on another forum thought i'd copy it

[Mr Revhead]

some would say drag racing is for weak drivers

[IH8TEC]

some might, but like me, i'll be doing circuit work as well

As usual, different strokes for different folks - train spotters would notice that a lot of people who say that have never been seen competing at any event.... I'm personally would prefer to be (or watch) a good drag racer than a bad track racer.

Mr H8TEC: I for one have driven GTRs which are harder to get a clean run on with street tires than a typical 2WD turbo on slicks is.

I think I'll tentatively aim for a let September/early October meet

[IH8TEC]

each to their own i guess, world would be boring if we all had the same opinions

[Mr Revhead]

theres this thing called a joke....

[flygt4]

[Mr Revhead]

Reckon they'll have let you back by then

[Bazda]

lol

i'll be at the events as usual. And you think its easy to drive a fwd car with 500hp into the 10s!, I see lots of 4wd cars in the 10s, but i dont see very many fwds as its alot harder to drive one into the 10s.
I see there are LOADS of FWDs out there with same or even more power than me and they are still in the 12s!!

$15 for gate fee and $25 to race.
safety as in car must be WOF passable basically.

YAYYY I was hoping for a bit of a bite. Gets people in the spirit of things haha.

Yeah FWDs are definitely a mission to get into the 10s, hence I said 2WDs quite pointedly I did say slick equipped vs street tired AWD though, you'll find the "run what you brung" 10s AWDs aren't THAT common. I'm personally looking forward to this season, there should be heaps of things worth watching or racing.

Will hopefully be racing this side of christmas, just need to get the new head and inlet finished first.

Bugger always one that I'm missing. I get a reg, my WOf runs out, my reg runs out I get a WOF. Oh well too bad.
