GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Danny's already has a half-cage in it, but won't be enough to meet ANDRA regs. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30182-whales-revenge/page/3/#findComment-623945 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I think half cage will do but needs to meet certain specs, not just any bolt-in-cage will do.

BU5TER Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I've noticed there seems to be more and more Skylines running slicks maybe we should get BenM to start a section for slicks in the SAU drag times? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=22444 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30182-whales-revenge/page/3/#findComment-624380 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BU5TER Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 hahaha heya Tom I haven't spoke to Rick about the pics for a while I'll have to give him a call, I've got a couple of things up my sleeve for drag combat worse case I hope to better my time best case who knows Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30182-whales-revenge/page/3/#findComment-624443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS-t VSPEC Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Buster, Main reason that the only good times are with slicks over here is due to the track prep, the traction compound works against normal street tyres, so it's a waste of time running on anything but slicks:( Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30182-whales-revenge/page/3/#findComment-624926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BU5TER Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Thats cool champ I'll be on slicks some time this year too i'd say hahaha so we might as well get time list going for them Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30182-whales-revenge/page/3/#findComment-624978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB20LagWagon Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Paul this is goign to be the same for most drag tracks around the country. If anything id say street tyred cars would work better at kwinana then at other tracks, saying that our times may be worse because of our track is far from a truth Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30182-whales-revenge/page/3/#findComment-625042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BU5TER Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 True true its a bit like the HPI R34's best time at Eastern Creek on a 100m prepped strip was 12.4 I think but down at Melbourne drags on a fully prepped track he was able to run 11.9 at the end of the day its hard no matter what strip we're on to get grip on radial tyres but maybe harder on some strips then others which slicks will make it more even to compare I guess Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30182-whales-revenge/page/3/#findComment-625058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
N I B Posted January 2, 2004 Author Share Posted January 2, 2004 A fully prepped track has far less grip than clean blacktop because the compounds work against street rubber so we really should run slicks, use what the track is setup for.

RB20LagWagon Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Maybe an unprepped plex strip might be more slippery then a clean road, but there is no way on street tyres that a plex prepped track with a bit of rubber on it is.

N I B Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 Theres no way Jeffs GTS R can smoke the tyres to 3/4 track on the road but on a prepped track its easy.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 The only time that the track is fully prepped as such is on full drag racing nights at the Plex, on which street cars are able to enter, so the shit they thell us is fully prepped isn't worth racing on without slicks.
