Expressions of Interest: SAU Drag Day

[jmp]

Hmm. I think i'll come down but only to spectate.

Need a bloody helmoot!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

jmp, I can bring a helmet if you want to race:D

Dan, re: burn out & tyre pressure. An official from the plex told me

to run my street tyres at 28psi , much lower and the tyre will deflate from the centre leaving it to run on the outside edges because of the tyre wall ( Slicks have Soft walls). He also said a small 2nd gear burnout to "Clean" the tread of crud picked up in staging & pre stage lanes was good practice.(Dam fine fun too )

I have no idea how accurate this is , but it seemed to work for me

Cheers

I have nitrogen in my tyres... should i let them down, and yes bob jane did talk me into it

[dan_the_man]

should i take my sub outta the boot to save weight?

[jmp]

Hmm. I'm keen to race but dont want to look like a fool by missing a gear or hitting the wall or something

Paul: able to take the helmet as a precaution?

Thanks,

Josh

I have a green light to take the volvo down to run it but, I will wait till I have the carby sorted out and perhaps fit a line locker as running on gas is just no where near the fun.

I too am attending tonight on my motorbike, aiming for some fast passes on two wheels as I have done four before. I've been told 12's should be easy and 11's are possible. I'll see if I can hang onto the thing to be able to achieve that!

Dan - I got a 13.6 with my stereo in the boot. I think full street trim is the best way to go because it gives you a real indication rather than a magic number. My 2 cents..

[dan_the_man]

thanx cam

[ix9]

Good luck Josh, hopefully you can remove that "slower than strich9" from your sig! after you beat my time!

Got the bleeder!

[Cake]

none of this, drive around the water shit

[MrSnrub]

That was gay! i gave up after 4 runs..... was way too slippery

[Boostzor]

Well id say it was extra Gay.

Blew a ring on the way to the drags doing a test launch and wasnt even pushing it that hard. Launched and changed to second, got to around80-90 kmhr and pop, running on 3cyl again. Must have been a pretty crappy job on the rebuild if it only lasted 3-months and 1 launch.

Thank god for the warrant, maybe they will do it right this time.

[MrSnrub]

Just make sure you dont tell them you did it at the drags......

[Boostzor]

Ya reckon it would void the warranty? its not like i was beating the hell out of it right.

[MrSnrub]

Well I believe Strich9ine's warranty was void after he told them he took it to the drags.

[Boostzor]

Yeh i know that guy, hes a dodgy bastard for that type of stuff. he told me the same thing when i tried to get him to fix my busted shockies in the supra. Also when i told him that when u brake at around 140kmhr it shudders and that the brakes need machining. Second hand dealers have small profit margins so its understandable.

Kinda different situation cause they did work on the engine not just sold me the car. I should be able to do anything to it but pour sugar in the tank or run it with no oil etc.

[Hicks]

Any results tonight??

[Boostzor]

I think Gradenkos best run was 13.77 when i left. Thats about all i know.
