Going To The Drags

[Russco]

Col - you won't spin the MT 255x50x16 drag radials, I'm using even smaller 225x50x16 Hoosier radials and provided I heat them up properly I can't spin them - do easy 1.7's 60" on both of these tyres.

[Col-GTSX]

hey col what where your 60ft time because if your running 131mph your 60s must be real bad (like 3)

i do 2.2 60ft and still manage to run 12.7 @ 110mph

cheers

Yeah my 131mph pass was a 2.8 60 foot and i missed 2nd gear for a split second...

Yeah i hope so... Ill have a chat to them tomorrow...

The guy with the EAT IT Silvia was able to spin his 255's and i think he is on similar power...

So ill make a phoen call and see what they suggest...

I would ideally love to use stock 16" skyline rims, so the 225's would be the go, but I may need the width...

I have been doing some research tonight and found this on willowbanks website;

Sedans faster than 130mph (208 kph):

* Five-point harness required (incorporating crotch strap).

I was telling Shane last night, when I ran my 131mph pass an official met me at the bottom of the tower he looked in the car and noted on the time slip that there was no roll cage or harness. He then said if I break 130mph again than I would be asked to cease the event...

NOTE: I thought at the time he said 135mph and thats what I was talking about with Shane as I had not heard that rule before...

But the guy did mumble a bit, he may have said 130mph

He grabbed all my info at the time and took details like rego and colour and basic description of the car, he also kept my time slip putting all the info on the back of it and said to email to get a copy fo the slip...

Now i found this above about needing a 5 point harness...

:Worried:

I dont want to put a 5 point harness in, and I will have to change the seat and probablly put a cage in to make it all work properly...

What do you guys think???

[AzzurrA]

pretty sure if you run faster than 130mph you have to get a full cage and harness to compete

[R33S2]

I thought a cage was for <10 sec cars. Well Col youve got a choice, 5 pt harness, keep it under 130mph or do one great run and throw in the towel.

[joe 09]

i dont mean to rude but i think you really need to get the time slip because if you mist second and still run 131mph with a 2.8 i wouldnt worry about a harness yet you need a cage. what was your previous best.

if u wanna see what u can get out of ur car col, but dont want full time cage and harness etc. get a half cage (so u can remove it) get bucket seat that can accept harness, and get a harness, and just put them in when u go to the drags. therefore u dont have to get ur car re-registered as a 2 seater (u would if u kept the cage and bucket seat in) however, u can get adr/street legal racing harnesses and reclining bucket seats.

My 255s where spinning as they where on 20-22psi of tyre pressure - my tyre pressure gauge lied and i thought they where on 15psi...

The best 60 foot i have gotten out of them was a 1.60 with 16psi tyre pressure and i ran an 11.1@131mph like that - i didnt get an official talking to, but i did quit while i still had my stock box in-tact - damn sr20 gearboxes!

You need a few things for 130mph+ but if you dont crack into the 10 they shouldnt really bother you. I guess that will change now due to the recent fatality - so i wont be going back there for a month or two, which works out good cause i need to get a bigger tune put in...
