1JZ.747 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 It was an auto only tip. Basically I had one foot on the brake and the other stalling it up but the tip was to use the handbrake as well so as to hold it stronger. Got about 150 extra rpm which got me about 5 psi boost off the line.I also utilised previous 2rismo tips in doing 3rd gear burnouts. Tyres were nice and warmed up although a couple of times when the burnout wasn't quite as big I found out how far down the track the prep went. Top of 2nd gear wheel spins anyone? It doesn't even do that on the street with my shitty Falkans. the old hand brake routine, yep been using that one for a while, helped my sixty foots emensly, though its time to tighten it up again.

2rismo Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I believe it was a very low 1.9 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/119940-i-learnt-how-to-drag-race-on-the-weekend/page/2/#findComment-2214039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abo Bob Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 I think it was a low 1.9 but I got a high 1.8 on another run but accidentally short changed 1st gear and made up for that blunder by hitting the rev limiter in 2nd giving a crap time instead of what it could have been. If I had known you were keen I would have let you know Brad. There was a few spare spots. I'll pm you if I see something come up. I keep forgetting to bring the timeslip in to work to scan.

PHATR32 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 hey they are some pretty good times. 1 question though, would your times have improved if it was manual? (assuming you can launch and change gears right etc) not bagging autos or anything, just curious.
