I thought he meant it might be sunnier + grippier track so akane will do 12's and leave the competition behind?

:lol:

Nah man, you were so desperate to beat me that you launched early and foul'd on red light. And reactions are not counted towards the ET.

You jumped me about 4 cars and I was "OMGWTF?", and I caught up at the end you were only 1/2 a car length ahead of me at the finishing line.

But they still counted my run which was odd

Anyway, I was feeling lonely on my own up there in front so backed off to allow you to catch up :wink:

How do you mean they still counted your run?

What was the time and mph, that will let us know you really are telling the truth about backing off :wink:

Sorry I wasn't able to make it ... sounds like a good day

I'll come down next time and try to make up for the lack of NA 1600 Toys giving the Honda's a run for their money

I know I jumped the start as I saw the red light, but they still gave me a time slip

14.2sec while Akane got a 14.02.

just wondering here GT4_20, did you have many/any traction problems on the track? What 60' times were you doing?

They only gave ETs and Trap Speeds. No 60ft etc..

As above. Car did break traction quite a bit when going from 1st to 2nd with the car twitching quite noticeably.

you always get a timeslip regardless of red light or reaction time

When I did the same thing a while back, I did get a time slip but it said 'disqalified' on it :oops:

Wonder what would have happened if I'd beaten Akane's time

If you've red lit and the other driver didn't there's no way you can win the race. You still have a legit run down the stip but lost the race, can't think why it would just say disqualified.

Anyone know why there were no 60ft times? I didn't see anyone crash into the sensors

I think the main reason is because they were slack and had to write the times etc on a little slip and didn't print it out like normally...

I would say it was because they werent running the proper timing gear, which was an extra $2k or whatever.

lol joe welcome to ts

what was your fastest time that day? something like 26s at 75kph

RomanV - correct - the compulink timing system which is what is run at the NSDW costs $2000 to run - when we first got there and it was raining and only a handful of cars we decided not to run it.

I have spoken with Champion and we will have another day locked in soon - looking like March at this stage.
