We've Done It! Sau Drag Day Is On!

[Abo Bob]

mmmm so some one can race my car for me ADAM lol, If some has a spectator space free i would like to watch.

It's a deal! You come as my spectator and I thrash your car down the strip.

So does that mean i can bring my friends car as a second car, provided i race it?

Yup.

Picked up my newly acquired M/T ET's today and now I need to ask for some information.

To all the drag racers,

The tire size is 255/50 x 16 and my car weighs about 1400kg.

As this is my first outing at WSID, would someone care to recommend a tire pressure that should last the day and give me some reasonable results.

The side walls say max load of 765kg @ 44psi, but I would assume this would be far too high pressure for my use when the total load on the rear might be 700kg body weight. And I wouldn't think half @ 22psi would be right either.

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

Is there any spots left? I only just saw this and I want to see what the old girl will do down the strip.

[Abo Bob]

Yes there is. Pay up to reserve your spot.

[R33GTRVSPEC]

Ok just paid, and email sent.

You have to wear long pants and long shirt don't you?

[msnismo]

Ok payment made and email sent

[Abo Bob]

Long pants, long sleeve shirt, helmet.

should be a great day, still deciding on whether to race....the slicks i have were almost bald 5 runs ago. Anyone selling second hand slicks? dont know if i want to go the street tyre.

[Abo Bob]

The Nittos I bought off 2rismo were bald when I got them. I did about. 40 passes on them.

Long pants, long sleeve shirt, helmet.

Non flammable is the key.

Synthetics that are easily combustible aren't allowed.

Natural fibres are the best, Jeans etc etc etc.

Well I got a bargain then, I guess the M/T ET's would be about 30% worn and 14/16 psi is the recommendation from Mickey Thompson Tires in the US.

Start at 15psi and drop in 1psi increments until you're happy. Don't go lower than 11psi.

And you wonder why the belt spiked you after this many runs?!?!

I definately don't think I will have the R30 done in time, can any one come and watch?

[Abo Bob]

Yes I got a good bit of blood there. That was your fault.

Just picked up a set of 1994 Supra wheels for my MX83, 16 x 8's & 16 x 9's, plus 50 offset, so it looks like I'm all set to go.

The M T E/T's will sit just nicely on 9's.
