May 31st Drag Day Review

[Cubes]

It does sound like a good idea but how about a month or two later?

I will most probably have mine finished by then.

A nice mid 300rwhp with an un-usually fat mid range.

[Clint32]

deffinately worth doing again Ivan. the extra $30 over a street meet is better for everyone i think. Probably i little later in the year though.

[hippy]

maxx i think i can remember ur car ... silver gtst with a gtr lookalike front?? ... anyways ur tyres looked like they were still pumped up ... try deflating them a bit next time ... ask some others what psi u should have ... it should improve ur launches

[TIMMMAYYY]

Ivan i will DEFINATELY be up for another meet!!! 17 runs for $85.. can't argue with that.

Doesn't bother me if i was nearly the slowest hippy. I enjoyed maself and did better than the time I wanted to do

U can run whatever PSI u like in a car with stuff all power It doesn't make a difference when you can hardly get em spinnin anyways hehe

[Nightcrawler]

Hippy - sorry we didnt catch up dude - I saw you rock up (you parked over with the Skyline group right?) and I called out over the p.a. but I dont think u heard me

Maxx - sorry, I thought your car was Bugalugs' for a while there cos I couldn't see your front bumper from the commentators angle - nice front bumper there anyhow (intersting an R32 GTR style bumper on an R33) - I love that bar!

Henry - nice time man!!! - you almost caught me .... thanks - the commentating was crap but we did what we could .... thanks to Ricky for his help too!

Joel/Clint I agree too ... later in the year would be better - like October/November, where we're pretty much guaranteed no rain (wasn't the weather good to us today?!!!), and so we can all have time to get our lines in order

Timmmayyy - nice time for the old 3lt n/a - did you like the plugs I was giving you all the time?

[TIMMMAYYY]

Yea the later in the year the better... i just means i might have saved some money for some mods

Nightcrawler it's a tad hard 2 hear watcha sayin in the car

[Nightcrawler]

You shoulda had your radio tuned in to the AIR station (I assume it was broadcasting?) .... that's what I always do when I race so I can hear real-time what's going on! (60', 1/4 time etc)

[TIMMMAYYY]

Nar man i had MMM cranked! It's the only station worth listening to!!! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hippy]

yeah andrew i was there and u did see me but i rudely didn't say hello because u were always busy chatting with someone so i dind't want to butt in and i parked outside cause i didn't know how to get in there hehe ... and i had the white jacket with blue/red stripes down the side ... and most of the time i was standing next to the track so i couldn't head **** all ... i was deaf from that red mazda rotary with 10 metre wide slicks ... and i think keirs 32gtr finished my ears off

and yeah must admit weather was pretty good .. not tooo hot .. but my damn camera ran out of batteries or i would of taken pics of every car there .. oh well

[GFXman]

was good day... even if i didn't have a car to race, was awesome to watch everyone!

Bring on the next one Videos posted soon...

[skipppy]

Hey people

i was the man holding the flag for the late model 4dr skyline

had a great day

got some good practice and take offs and so on

got time down to 14.1 with rt of .489 with 2.1 60ft at 98mph

very keen for another with few more mods

[grepin]

Firstly I would like to thank all involved in organising the day. I had never dragged proper before and wasnt keen on attending a normal street meet. My car is the Grey R33 mpg posted in a previous thread by GFXman.

My first run ever: 60' - 2.898 (yuck, wheel spin) with ET of 15.405

and MPH 88.72

My best : 60' - 2.1 flat, ET of 13.694 at 102.82 mph.

For my car this maybe should have been closer to the other similar modded Skylines of Freebaggin and Bugalugs more stock freakish 95 model who both got in the 13.4's. However in comparison to their cars reaching the 105mph consistantly I couldnt get more than 102 mph. I tried shifting earlier and later and made little difference. Something to look at in the future.

[MattR]

I wont even start with my day:mad: The best I could manage was 14.3 110mph with the whole rear end jumping around. Couldnt even get it on full boost. 3 runs for $85 not happy hope we have another one of these days so I can make up for it in the end. Apparantly the high light of my car was the huge flame on the first run?

[TIMMMAYYY]

huge? is that what u call it! lol

[hippy]

but ur car was parked in the grass for ages .. how come u didnt' run no more??

[MattR]

ill just say someone forgot to do something up when they put the new rear craddle in the back

[CheekyR32]

Really good day guys..

I think we got there a bit late and missed a few of you guys run.

Something is VERY wrong with my car. There is a fuel leak somewhere.. so no runs for me.

I was looking forward to seeing your car race matt.. everytime I have seen it its been parked! Maybe next time

[32godzilla]

Matt, I've got some good footage of your "flame run". I'll post it soon, has JMS fixed it up?? Hope everything's okay.

[MattR]

cheers, waiting to see it. ALL will be fixed no hassles tomorrow
