I've got to dive into the city to pick up the missus, so I can't cruise, but I'm sure you'll all see me there.

But im going to wind in some more timing and have a play.

[mook1]

bass....have you sofend up your rear suspension.?

Dont worry about semi slicks at calder guys, I rekon there not necessary. I ran a 12.5 with a 1.8 second 60 ft on bald Dunlop SP8000e - granted they were 265s, but still its all comes down to the way you launch, you gotta remember the start line is grippy as f**k, big burnnout on st tyres gets em even grippier. Its not like the street at all, ive got mates who dont wanna take there cars down because they compare launchin it at the track to like launching off the lights - its not the case - trick is to keep the revs high so it gets onto boost fast, and as the lights stage on the yellow, keep ur clutch at the friction point jusssssssssssssst before it grabs, dont shit urself from a little wheelspin but if its excessive just knife the clutch slightly. Another method is handbrake, but i dont like it because it can upset traction. Done be shy thru the gears, no flatchanging, but sharp quick and precise, keep the shifts stictly to the redline, i see so many ppl shifting early. Also keeping the car cool right up to the line helps, when ur in pits getting ready for a run, engine off, bonnet up, get a couple of mate to push the car. It looks stupid but I helps so much.

Just some advice for those who havent raced, I really enjoy my drag racing, ive probably had close to 50 or more runs in all my cars thru the years.

Best advice though, dont distract yourself, just get out there and have fun.

[Bass Junky]

I was going to put on the semis, but couldn't be arsed.

I'm running 255 Hankook Ventus Sport which hook up okay.

Previously I have run a 1.9 60ft so I hope I can repeat that.

I'm buying a hand water spray so I can cool the pipes after each run, and also cool the oil cooler and as well. Gonna look like a goon, but who cares. Temperature = bad!

[SKY031]

don't be soft.

its street drags.....

run in full street trim!

[Bass Junky]

I'm not even removing the spare tyre

[Starionturbo]

Water spray is a great idea to take down there, make sure everythings cool. As for sprayin on the oil cooler - what for lol, ur pushing it hard for less than 14 seconds. I dont think there gonna be soaring.

[Bass Junky]

Just an idea to try to keep the core engine temperature down

[Daz]

Weather was looking a little iffy this morning but it looks like it has cleared up well
