Was a good day all in all and i found out why the hell i was running slower then I should have been at the start of the day...... the boost was set at 7psi.

During lunch slapped a bleed valve in and upped it to 15psi, instantly shaved 0.7 of a second of my ET.

Best time for the day was [email protected]

Improvement over the time at calder before the turbo of 14.7@92mph.

However, the only gripe i have is with the guy who was controlling the tree in the 2nd half of the day. Normally once both cars stage, it should be like 2-3 seconds before they go orange then green, so being an auto I have to start stalling right away or i dont hit boost off the launch.

The guy who was controlling the tree at the 2nd half of the day was being a prick and waiting like, 10 seconds some times(or random lengths (i counted)), and i am not doing to damage my GB by stalling for 15-20 seconds, the bloody oil heats up quickly. One time he even saw me stalling it up waited and came up to my passenger window and looked me in the eyes, i gave him a hurry the f**k up look too....

He even managed to make me stall(aka, turn off) the car one time when it was stalling up and he wouldnt pressure the f**king button. Yes...stalling an auto....not easy to do but he made me do it!

He did the same thing to Pete on the run after the 12.86. Pete just did a massive burnout, was staged, revving, revving, revving, revving, revving.....the bastard just didnt press the button. There was NOTHING stopping him. He was even watching pete revving! Then pete stopped revving......HE PRESSED THE BUTTON. Topped that run off with a 13.06

Hi All,

Was a great day had by all. Lots of fun and awesome drag action.

Track temperature was a big killer for lots of us, my first run was 16.5 :P Thanks to all our organisors for the event (both SAU and WRX) and out sponsor TuSpeed for covering this event.

I easily had the most runs for the day, topping abcent, I must have had over 25 runs easily. Nothing broke and my runs were fairly consistent. I started off in the morning with around mid 14.3's then in the afternoon finally got a 13.7 @ 105mph. Just too damn slippery, was spinning consistentl all the way though first for most of the runs.I was also recording 0 to 100k's with my RSM and there were on 5.6'ish and couldnt get any better. My best was 4.88 about a year ago so conditions certainly make a difference

I had some kick ass reaction times :)

Well what an awesome day and a good turnout! Some quick cars as well which is always good to watch. Good to have a chance to meet a few of you.

Despite not posting a good overall time (RB20 + Auto = no 60ft party), I was pretty happy with 108mph at the end trap.

i hope for my sake im the 1 that seams reasonably easy!

Good to see my car is the talk of the day....although it would be nice if it were for something other than dying...

As for my time(s), i was a first timer...I waited about 10 minutes to have my first run, just because the nerves were a little shaky....got out there and posted a 15.35 at 98mph (R33 GTS-T with 3" turbo back)

loved it, and was pretty happy with my time after seeing what others were getting, and knowing that their cars were a lot quicker than the times they got...

so i lined straight back up for another run...felt like it took off a bit better than the first run, and didnt miss a gear...as i was approaching the finish, I had to hit 4th or i would've hit the limiter, so i went to do so, no go....thought i just missed it or something, so i ended up backing off that run before the line stuck in 3rd...but managed to get a 15.44 at 76mph...(any of the smart 1/4 mile people able to work out my potential?) i was told i could've got a high 14.....

and that was it for me...

hopefully its nothing too major, but its really really stuck in there...

once a year isn't enough though...let me get my car fixed, and we have to have another soon!

thanks to Ash for trying to fix my car, and the guy that was helping him (sorry didnt catch your name) and also jack for the tow too :P

Hehe - I love the pic of the Lada staging up. It actually looks quite serious - little do they know...

Good thing I wasn't there then, I might have ruined the image of WRX gearboxes.

Hehe - next time bring the ute and I'll whip out some 2.0L twin cam upgrades :P

Thanks again to Tuspeed :)
