Raced My Car At Heathcote...

[Dean_HR31]

Hey guys,

Took my car to heathcote drags last week. Never really had any interest in taking my car to the drags but my mates were going & i was a little curious to see how it would go in full street trim so i went! ... wish i hadnt

There was about 7956789689 cars there racing, 987698769 of which being VL's. My gearbox is now suddenly slightly crunching 4th gear 50% of the time & the day was just boring in general. Unless you have a 10 second car i really cannot see how people can be excited over racing their car in a straight line? The amount of fun you have doin it versus the strain u put on your drive train reallly doesnt weigh up. Ive so far taken my car to 2 drift track days and have caused more damage at the drags with my car running for a total time of about 10 minutes.

Im going to put some really good oil in my gearbox now and see if it stops crunching.. if it continues that will definitely be the last time i go to the drags.

By the way car has 265rwkws, best time i managed was a 13.2 at 110MPH. Definitely has mid-high 12's in it with decent flattened tires. No matter what I did 2nd gear was like getting traction on wet mud with the 18s. First 60ft were not as bad, but when i got in 2nd gear it was like i went from tarmac to gravel. lol..

Anyway heres a couple of pics...
