[Horus]

sounds like a mad day out...too bad Im slack and leave uni work till the last minute

[BU5TER]

Meggs was Endless running slicks? and whats his 60ft times like

[DoNNo]

looked like a damn good day

not 2 many cars there which would mean loads of runs

wish i could of gone

[meggala]

buster he was running street tyres 60' time 2.5 plenty more to come from it

thx guys for a great day!!

Always love heading to heathcote for a sunny day at the drags...

Thanks to the Golgo crew of friends and girlfriends getting the bbq crackin' ..

The cars? ... The Lada survived another day after towing endless for most of the way ... ended up driving the rest (gasket leaking so worried about overheating) .. but was all good.

Great to see so many familiar faces (and cars) from SAU ... really feels like like day was put on for us .... good to see everyone getting out there .. Golgo (Jamezilla) cracking into high 12's with slipping clutch, GTR-34 further refining it's ability to make a consistent 11sec R34 .. just gotta get there first .. shame about the clutch half way up the track!.. who else ... some nice GTSt's made 13's ... Impul was one of the winners of the day ... with 4wd burnouts being the in thing in my book (saw an Evo do this at calder and Impul managed a 60ft 4wd burnout .. and of course the 11.7 !... as usual, crazy auto drag cars ... thx Leewah for the moral support and help with Endless on the trailer .

and Endless... well I was sure I could walk away with an 11.something however I was unable to suss a good launch techinque after 3 runs ... each of them were around 2.5 (or over in 60ft times!! (yes, pretty poor effort ) .. Meggala got pretty close with the MPH of 129.72 which I understand is pretty farqen quick! .. damn feels nice to get up to that speed on the strip.

And yes, as soon as I let the experts take over to drag my car.. well snapped something else! (we think it's a section of the gearbox .. probably not the actual gears ... will soon find out

Thanks to Jack from CityWide towing for coming all the way down and sending back Endless and GTR-34.

Can't wait to get there again ...

Maybe Meggala can pull his finger out and make the time to challenge my Ceffy ... head to head ceffy's ... first in Australia?

Cheers,

Oyabun

:burnout: :burnout:

[meggala]

yes dave I will challenge you in the ceffy . need to be in around 2 weeks )

[BU5TER]

So the car ran a 12.7 on slicks but a 12.4 on some sort of street tyres? hahaha damn I want some of those what were they

Awesome mph though I'm sure if he can get the power down to lower the 60ft without breaking something we'll see some mind boggling times

[meggala]

buster they were advans 032r's

still at the same boost level as b4 .

and the car didnt get out of 3 rd gear now thats a wagon racer

[BU5TER]

eeek hahaha

[Jamezilla]

Yes - great day.

I learned that I suck at Webbers and the Niva sucks at towing (but is great at taking out signposts).

12.93 @ 106mph (Sam)

13.02 @ 105mph (Me)

Clutch slipping in 1st and 2nd though. Still loads of fun.

Happiest run was leading Impul (Sam) for half track (then the 2530s showed me the business). Dude, I almost had you!

Got asked a few 'emissions' questions by Police in Heathcote on the way home, but actually think it was from interest rather than legalities I guess the letterbox will tell the tale in a week or so.

Next time I'd like to see Nismo34 and Mrs Nismo34 in a duel. And yeah - Louise's soon to be Vitara vs. the Lada in the showdown of the 20-second bracket.

[predator]

hmmm.. You were getting some good 60' there jamez of a consistent 1.85s or so pretty much every single time - just gotta pull the rest of the shit together

Cheers to the girls as well for showing us how to actually cook up on the webber

Impuls was impressive, the dr doing some silly 4wd sideways burnouts was fun to watch at the line.. Impuls was about the only crazy GTR that didn't manage to snap anything Its even dr_drift proof...

props to the R34 gt-t boyz as well for getting nice 13.80'ish. was fun to see them lineup a couple of times.. Also for nismor34 giving r34gtt-t the timing to beat his own best time. We have a new SAU GT-T 34 record guys!

I nearly got defected on the way home too for my tyres.. damn cops doing a boozo down near camberwell.. but they let me go - you gotta feel pity for anybody forced to drive my thing

Funniest part for me was at the start when i was coming in. Ticket guy goes "man what have you got under that thing, you got a turbo on it or something", and i am like "nah mate, its just ****ed, it just makes that sound" lol :D

Good work to Rigga as well getting some consistent 13's times. Pity i couldn't have got the ol' 33 this weekend to give it a try myself

Forget Calder, Heathcote is basically the only place to go if you want a decent number of runs. I think most of the guys got about 10-15 runs in. Now for next time - see whether i can get a nice solid 13's bracket time.. then thats it for me for the 33. Next up: project 12sec for under $20k

[Jamezilla]

Pred: Yeah - best 60' was 1.80.

I also did my highest G launch. Love that G-sensor...

[Jamezilla]

Some more...

The Lada after 'the incident' - Endless is being removed from the trailer:

Sam, Garry and Endless:

Waiting for a 'real' towtruck to take Endless and the 34 back home:

and...

It was a big day for some. Aw...

[Wardest]

Had a mad day. As usual I didn't race but thats not why I went.

I just wanted to hang with everyone and the drive up and back is always haughn. Why is it that no matter how fast you go on an overtake, you always end up wanting to go harder the next time? And so you do.

Perhaps its just that the RB sounds so erotic at 6000rpm.

Good to catchup with a few of you guys. Hopefully the next time will not be too far off.

PS. Anyone get pics of my car? hehehe

[Daz]

haha, great pics

[NismoR34]

I dont think Paul's [riggaP] car is stock guys - but nonetheless he did very well getting into the 13's.

I ended up having about 17 runs - you can call me "drag whore" if you like

My best was 13.84 @ 101.58mph, 60ft - 2.17secs. I was stoked. On the day all my combined mods were, Pod filter, 3inch catback with Jasma [very quiet] kakimoto muffler and running 10-11psi. Street fuel 98ron and street 'el cheapo' tyres.

Was a great day for it, nice and sunny without being too hot.

Cheers for the photo's Gordo.

It wont happen overnight but it will happen

We have already had an 'informal' challenge, she is still perfecting take-off [so am I] and wants to at least match my mods first.

Watch this space! lol

[whistla]

Dang, missed out on a good one

Wanted to go, but the woman and myself were away for the weekend....otherwise i would be there seeing as iv finished off the turbo conversion and tuned it on thursday

Got an awesome result, now just waiting for a straight line figuer

[Evil]

Nice pix pred!
