Dyno Style Race/drag

[Links]

Yeah they do, you have to have the brackets fitted to your car and they have hooks that lock in and pull down a bit I believe.. Wheelspin wouldn't be able to be prevented though i'm sure..

Good example of a launch/drag testing on a dyno is the one of the evo with anti-lag.. it's on youtube.. i'll see if I can dig it up

I believe they only have RWD dyno's though @ Drag Tag - is that correct?

2/ What the? Absolutely no vested interest in it at all. I'm simply speaking from the perspective of someone that has done it numerous times and has more of an insight into the idea than someone guessing or theorising about what it's probably like.

The fact that the magazine you work for has hefty advertising of DragTag and that they "probably" made some arrangement where you get to have a few goes, in return for some magazine space and/or a good report on the experience is not at all creating a biased view?

Drag Tag haven't advertised in Extreme for many months. If it wasn't good fun and if it didn't have huge potential, I wouldn't say it did. Jase, when have you known me to bight my tongue if I thought something was a shit-house idea?

I got to have a few goes at the drag racing and circuit racing concept on a visit to Melbourne to cover a car show event and shoot a couple of cars for work. We neither reported on our experiences in the magazine or ran any advertising for them because of it. It's just a good thing to get in to, especially in a state as starved for racing as VIC.

That was a big bite.

Just taking the mickey mate.

I dont really care too much for it

It looks gay to me but I usually believe what 2RISMO tells me so I am confused.

How does the circuit racing work in a AWD/4WD car?

4WD cars cant go around corners... derr

Good question!

[2rismo]

Wheel angle sensing lasers point at the front wheels - just the same as the RWD or FWD setup.

But you cant really turn the wheels left/right when the front wheels are on the dyno rollers can you?

[FATAZZ]

they should have the qtr mile thing on every dyno i believe.

do they dial in your cars weight before you do the drag thing?

Just trying to work out as Jon said how with all wheels turning it doesn't try to pull left or right on the dyno, must slip a bit or the hooks hold it fast in place

[2rismo]

The brackets are only on the rear but believe me, it takes a seriously powered GTR to fry the fronts on the dyno in this situation. Your car has its own profile in the system before you race which incorporates the weight of the vehicle, the drag coefficient (based on the front windscreen angle) etc which all plays into the math for the simulation.
