It was a awesome night, but that track was so slippy thats why we had to stop after 2 runs as my first run i got very close to that wall and my second run i had to back of so many times but still ran mid 10s, any way i did fell sorry fo that s15 as i knew some was going crash as that track was nuts.

Great night, fireworks were awesome as usual. Highlight for me was the 12.79 by the ST215, so close to the record 8)

Driver lost it in the braking area, didnt see all of it but most definitely a write off. Pity, it was running mid 11's so wasn't slow.

Few staging burnout snaps

Yeah come to think of it the track was slippery. I've never heard my tyres chirp into third before.
Btw Audi Man, are you NITRO?
that's the thing when you're competing ya don't get to see much racing
In other news I'm happy to announce my new pb. Last night in round two of DYO I managed to run a 15.09 :D

From what I heard he backed off too quick, weight transferred to the front and spun out straight into the wall as you saw in the video

I was pretty happy with the night, only really ran 3 times,

My gearbox don't really like being jammed into second, it showed on my 60 ft times, im still happy with a 14.2 with no traction till just over 1/3 of the track, full street trim with 12" sub etc as well.

Guts about the silvia.


Someone took some photos of me doing 'warm up skids'(i had more fun frying rubber than racing) ill try find them and post :D

Becareful guys this happened last week. Texas miles.

From what i read, A Full rollcage is a must,don't go over 200mph if you weren't pro, this guy crashed at 240mph(1 mile), so stay under 180mhp if you can.

Full discussions are here:

seems like the chute isn't fitted at the same level of the cars central gravity.

Yikes, nasty stuff. Though there arent many places you can do a genuine 200mph here!
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!
