Souther Nats Labour Weekend Drags

I wish last time i went to a test and tune day it cost me $10 per person and there was about 4 or 5 cars running

I would guess it will cost the same, but with more cars there this time.

what time did you run matt?

what time did you run matt?

I only did two practise runs and two qualifying runs and then left before they started the actual competition runs as it broke a wastegate pipe.

My old fastest time was 12.3 with only 110mph.
First run of the day was a 12.7 but with a 127mph trap speed,
and that was almost stalling off the line, dipped the clutch and almost stalled again, and dipped the clutch a 3rd time to get it to take off.

I never got to grips with launching
and the car never got any grip on the track,
so wheelspin was the order of the day
and I never got a better run than that.
If it got any grip off the line it would break into wheelspin as soon as it was off the VHT, or on the change to second, or even the change to 3rd.

Need better tyres, softer springs and much more practise if I want to go back.

Worst thing was the R32 GTR skyline that I race against in both the classes I race in and I am usually faster than was there too,
and ran a 10.99 @ 126mph on his first run.
