Hi guys,

Russell here from Drag Tag,

I will try and answer your questions as best I can.

The one thing you have to do is to come down and have a look for yourself, people can talk as much as they like about it but until you see it you won't fully understand.

The cars are held down with specially made brackets that are fitted to the cars rear suspension. These are road legal and engineered. The cars are then held in place on the Dyno via these brackets and a hold down mechanism. The cars don't move.

We also measure the windscreen angle and the weight of the car and all this information is taken into consideration by the computer whilst you are racing. The heavier the car the more the Dyno retards and so on.

Hey Russell, the question has been asked, "what about Brake and Engine cooling?"( also Auto Trans )

For the Drag I would think it would not be an issue, but the Circuit certainly would be as well as the drift also!

How you are going to do the Drift I cant concieve, but you have come this far so I guess you will get it happening.

im sorry its way too expensive

Hi guys we have restructed the pricing as memberships won't apply to all that want to come racing.

As Russell has said you really have to come down and check it out in person as l could sit here all day a type words but still you won't have an understanding of the centre.

The new price list.

Car setup ie: Brackets,photo of car,weighed and all car info entered in the Drag Tag system. $195.

Driver setup: Car and driver id cards and training on how to race your car on our system. $60

This is all a one of payment as the car and driver are ready to RACE.

With this setup racing will cost $50 each racing event.

Admission will cost $20.

lf you take out a membership your racing will be discounted at a rate and also has it's benifits.

Check out the discounts at this website http://site.dragtag.com.au/webpage.php?id=18

Also the benifits of racing at Drag Tag is that you are racing for prizes and maybe some cash, you dont get this when racing at a track so this is something else to think about.

roughly how many runs will you get in a night? the website mentions a queing system etc. but are we guranteed a certain number of runs?

just trying to compare $55 drag night at calder to this.

Also is circuit racing available yet? most of the website seems to be geared toward drag racing only.

Mate depends on how many come out to race on average you will get 8 to 10 passes all depends on the race event aswell.

As for the curcuit racing we are still developing the steering software as the lasers we use for drag tag only give us limited steering for circuit tag, we are looking to get some photo cell technology in the future which will give us full steering.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
