Nice time? I didn't think so. Absolutely horrid out there tonight. I can't be ****ed wasting my time on a track that is more slippery than everyday roads.

My best time was 13.7 @ 105mph (170kph), 60' 2.344.

I think dan the man ran a best of 13.9 @ 106mph last I spoke to him.

Rob77 was having problems out there too. Did you end up with a 13.xx eventually, rob?

KILLER-T made a galant effort (considering the track) with a 13.4 @ 110mph.

Every other skyline there was firmly stuck in 14's.

Fastest SAU member there was Cam with a 12.7.... on his 750cc crotch rocket

I don't think Rob would like to comment on his times, or what happened after the drags:(

It was a great turnout by the Jap Imports, completly filling the lane:D

[dan_the_man]

13.969 at 106.76mph

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Well done Dan, That's a good time, you've equalled Strichnine on your first run:D

The mph seems to be reading higher than normal, I wonder why?

[dan_the_man]

is that a good thing?

[rep003]

GTS-t VSPEC , Don't Tease! What happened after da drags? Or should I ask ROB77:rolleyes:

Dan ,is that your 1st 13sec? If so congrats:D

[dan_the_man]

rep003 it was the first time I had run down the drags at all

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Dan, Your mph seems to be high, which I think means they may have changed there timing equipment. It doesn't matter, just makes the car faster than last years. Otherwise you have alot of horsepower to be going so quick:D

[GTS-t VSPEC]

rep003, not my place to say, but I'm sure we'll all find out about it soon.

[rep003]

Is the high terminal speed a sign of a slippery track? Wheelspin means higher revs early , therefore higher revs in taller gears to finish , but mabe not quick times overall?

Dan , hope it was a buzzz

Man, I won't go motoplex again, I lost my side mirror (right hand side) at the parking lot. WTH happen there

[rob77]

*sigh* kerbed my car on the way home.I went past my mates house and on the way back to the freeway approaching a roundabout that was so dimly lit with no giveway signs, I locked up the brakes got the car sideways (90 degree's), sailed through the roundabout and hit the kerb at the other end... damage (as far as I can see) one poped rear tyre, 1 unhealthy looking side skirt, I looked under the car both control arms are fine (from looking at them, not bent), springs looked good and unbent, no damage to engine or intercooler or anything... fingers crossed its just the tyre and my suspension and axel are ok. I did end up cracking a 13.888 @ 110mph, my fastest mph was 111.3mph and my 60' times were all around 2.7

[Hicks]

Everyone seems to be hittin 13's. Doesn't sound to me like the track could of been THAT bad.

Sorry to hear that Rob. I know all to well about hitting a kurb.

Unlucky

[caminperth]

Rob - bugger mate, hope there's no big damage..

Erik - bugger again. Stupid bogans...

My night was great fun. I forgot how quick the bike actually was.. and how scared I am of launching it on one wheel! My best time turned out to be a 12.4 @ 189km/h - BUT with a 2.35 60' time?! I think if I had the balls to climb up further on the bike and launch it at 8,000rpm and above I'd get a respectable 60' and maybe a flat 12 or high 11.

Still great fun tho!

[IMACUL8]

Dont feel bad Rob...

I was bringing the Rex down last night after all the work is now finished.. pull out of the driveway and my car starts to whistle like a police siren when i accellerate. On turning around and going home looks like my brand new turbo has shat its self after about 700km.. i mean WTF.

Im hoping Ive split o hose or something, but all will be revealed tonight when i check....

anyway still came down in the Magna and watched...

saw that gen 3 pull a 13.3, white sti did 13.3, and wrx wagon did 13.3........

Erik,

You parked next to me in the parking lot (nice shiny exhaust) I noticed your driver's mirror insert was gone when I left around 9:10pm... I thought it was odd..

That sucks to have that happen to you!

As for the track, last week it was as slippery as hell and I was wheelspinning into 3rd gear, i don't even do that on the street!

and with 2.5 60's i wasn't impressed.... let alone a week later when you guys all had a run!

and MOST of the MPH's were pretty high from what I saw last night too... that is very odd!
