New Drag..er ... :)

Bullshit - you must do a 12 on your first pass or you get kicked out....err....by us.....

[PranK]

Ben, not sure if i'll be there before 6 anyway.

Adrian, what book? should I know what you are talking about?

[benm]

Get it right Adrian, if I dont see a 12 from him on the first pass im in line behind you for a ride

[PranK]

EZY-12Z ... my new plates.

The Book is the GTR driver's best friend. It's full title is:

"A Million and One Excuses for GTR Drivers"

If you don't run a time you're happy with or something isn't quite right, turn to THE BOOK and all will be well with the world.

And another thing, benm could easily run a 12 in your car but it'd take 4 1/2 years of trying.

My Honda buddies are really into drags, one night after a Burrows Day at Easternb Creek I deicded to hang out and watch them race, they convinced me to drag as well as I had my car, and gear on me so I thought why the hell not!!!

I was f**king nervous, night time, big crowd no idea how to launch a GT-R too.

I lined up, talked to many cool guys who all offered a lot of the same sort of advise and then after what seemed like eternity it was my turn.

Korn was blasting on the loud speakers (lol) and I heard them say "In the K&N lane is Justin Fox from Maroubra!!!" LOL that freaked me right out! The massive Monaro thing next to me was doing a massive burnout, I just chirped the wheels and went straight over the wet road onto the line up line (I got it right 1st go that was just luck!).

Tree lights went and I didn't go, waited to get revs up to 7000rpm, took my time then dropped the clutch, felt insane, revving off the rev limiter, didn't know when to shift to 2nd but then I just did, then 3rd, then 4th all a little too late as I was too excited to try to catch the car that was already a bit in front as he went off the lights straight away.

Anyways, next thing you know you're in the dark, with this other car next to you, you do a u-turn and see just how far you've gone as the crowd and lights are so far away. So cool!

Got my slip and the guys were there to greet me, they were giving me the thumbs up. I did a 1.8sec 0-60 which is meant to be pretty OK apparently and I got a 12.9sec pass from my stock R32 GT-R on stock 0.9bar boost (but I had semis from circuit work).

I parked it straight away! Way too fun and addictive to have another go. I can totally understand the attraction people have to drags now. Totally understand!!!

ALL THE BEST PRANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best thing I've read all day. Have to ask though........

When are you heading back for more?

[MrBlonde]

It's totally addictive, glad to read about people having fun at WSID (or wherever).

[benm]

Well Christian appears to be stoked.

He rolls up to the line, gives it a rev and drops the lunch, 5mins later he is picking up a timeslip with a 12.3 @ 110mph on it *bastard*

Was that the 1st run?? and what was his best??

[chaos]

Don't panic if you stall it

When i was at willowbank Last year, must of been a chick's first time, stalled off the line and i guess she panicked and stalled twice more before she limped off slowly lol.

[benm]

Yup first run was a 12.3 @ 110mph, 2nd run was 12.6 @ ~105mph and I think that's all he did.

Wasnt many fast cars there tonight considering it was nice and cold.

[PranK]

yep, so I am pretty happy with the effort. I gave my car a cuddle as I pet her to bed. I look forward to the next tho, I was just tired and cold tonight.
