wierd... expensive tho $550 to get a 'tag lock down system' installed...

interesting idea tho... wonder how it works with AWD... and the weight/aero part of it?

what the fark is with that gay video of those girls dancing around??!?

Also:

"With a racing membership, each vehicle is set up in Drag Tag’s workshop where it is weighed, and the frontal area and drag coefficient from the car's manufacturer entered into a computer. Using this information, we are able to assign a carefully-calculated air resistance equation."

Haven't had my car on it mate...would love to though.

From what I've seen, the results are incredibly accurate compared to others' real-world drag times.

I need to find the photos of the Linux arrays running the thing. The number crunching is in-farking-sane!

Adrian, are you affiliated in any way with Drag Tag? Just would like to know if the opinion is unbiased.

Without airflow how is the engine, brakes, etc. cooled?

With 4wd cars how can you turn the wheel? As i have seen some close calls if the wheels are not kept straight.

I've been exposed to it and its development in various ways for a couple of years. I don't work for them and they're interstate! :O My employer has advertising at their premises and vice versa.

It's just a cool concept. Skip the drag racing component for a sec and think of the driver training aspect. Controlled environment driver education in real world situations. Great idea with heaps of promise.

I support any idea that increases driver training and road safety and gets the fast cars racing where they should be.

Brake cooling etc..... dunno. I'd send em an email. Every question I've ever asked has been answered promptly and sensibly.

Great.............

Would be good to get some answers. For 2wds the front brakes wont matter as they are stationary, but the rears may get a little warm :D.

The concept is great, hopefully it kicks off for them.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
