Mark backed it up today with an 8.75 and an 8.8. may have been more but we left early.

Tony Wedlok debuted the 2j solara today as well. Farkin impressive. Nailed it to just over half track then got out of it and still ran a mid 7. Made a few of the bogans take notice. :thumbsup::down:

On a stranger note, Theo was 1 km away playing dyno queen at the power cruise, I would have thought he wouldnt miss an opportunity to get in some runs this close to the nats.

the croydon car that ran 8.55 was on et streets which are a rag type tyre. doesnt really count as a street radial.. correct me if its wrong....

cheers, mark

They're still a DOT tyre so it makes them eligible for Keith's list at least.

As much as I don't like it, that's the way the rest of the world classifies a street tyre. Drag your car keys along each of your ET Drags and get on the list yourself with another 8.40!!

    • That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age
    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
