the driver was hitting the limiter before he took off and creeped up forward... then the official sort of lost it and told him to move back... then he revved dumped like he just stole the gtr went left right left right until it looked like he touched the brakes and ended up smacking the rear end mostly on the other side.. maybe he shit himself and got nervous on the track :kiss: does insurance pay for LEGAL drag racing...

and btw CRAKED why werent u racing ur car!.. remember i was going to swap u the bonnet and boot at safs.. i own that white r33.... saw ur car in the car park looking lonley.. shouldve been on the track champ!

Insurance will not cover the damage even though he asked the question of the officials at WSID. :kiss:

The official didn't lose it at him at all, btw. He directed him to roll back through the beams as he had crossed them with his front wheels.

lol, from up top the official looked frustrated because people dont realise that they have a certain mark where they have to stop, thus why the chrismas trees have the 2 top lights that tell u to stop, they should have a sign that displays STOP WHEN THE 2 LIGHTS FLASH or something,

and i think it would be awesome if they had a big screen tv with replay action :kiss:

yeah big screen action reply would be a winner. considering each race only lasts 12 seconds or so and it takes a minute or two between runs some nice replays would be cool.

Hate to say it but this tool deserved what he got....

Before even entering the water area he was bouncing off the limiter for easily 10sec, then the official says oi u arent even in the water so he drives straight through the water and gives it another bounce off the limiter just incase he forget where the redline was.

Then he throws it in reverse to backup to the water but realises its 4wd so wouldnt do a burnout anyway so heads towards the line. Stops a full car length short and bounces on the limiter again ready for the green light. Starter official motions him forward and he rolls straight past the line, then reverses back and slowly rolls forward again whilst sitting on the limiter again.

The starter did his usual pissed off start by not waiting until both cars were set (gtr was still rolling) and soon as the 2nd pre-stage light is up he hits the button and the gtr driver decides to let the clutch out. Does a few left to rights and throws on too much opposite lock, front wheels bite and send him sideways towards the opponents wall (whom would have been shitting himself as much as the gtr driver) and takes out his rear end.

No not even 4wd will save dickheads.

:blink:

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.
