[Russman]

I'm going to the drags friday night. Anyone else going?

Come say hi I'll be in the Bright green FG XR6 Turbo ute. I'm interested to see what it'll run as a completely stock car.

Hopefully going to see my mate race his HSV SV08 Senator. Ran 11.9 last week on street tyres. Hopefully get something quicker with some slicks.

Cheers. Terry.

Bring a helmet and long sleve jumper. Pay entry fee, sign some legal paperwork. Take your car through the pits to see if anything is classed as dangerous pass that and your good to race. Pretty simple stuff.

Best of luck champ!

[Russman]

Yeah pretty simple.

Also get there early coz they fill up pretty quick these days. I'll be there from about 3:30

[UNR33L]

what time does it start?

[femno]

gates open at 3-330 and drags start at 6, finishes about 10.

[UNR33L]

mmm i should come after work finish at 6 which of you fellas are going? wouldnt mind seeing what a couple of stockish GTRs run

[Russman]

Prob just me but I'm sure there would be at least a couple of GTR's there.

[Shanu]

ill be there, but without my skyline still not ready , but will be bringing the chaser might give her a run aswell c ya guys there

[KURAUN]

few of the Evo Oz boys are coming tonight

im busy though

[Russman]

There were a few evo's but overall a very jap-less night at the drags. 2 or 3 skylines and maybe 4 evo's. Lot's of V8's all over the place.

I got like 7 runs. Best was a 13.32 @ 106mph in the ute. Not bad for a completely standard car with 3000k's on it.

[UNR33L]

just got back.. my car over heated on the way home :s

i saw your green ute, is that a FG f6 or just normal FG xr6 turbo? saw that you bogged down on a couple of launches but still impressive times once you got into 2nd you flew. Great times for a standard car thats for sure.

on another note that rotary was awesome haha

i kinda got sick of all the VX / VZ commos :\ was funny one of the evo 6's i think it was, did a 11.8 and owned some massive ass loud worked v8, i loled

[HEKT1K]

13.3 bog standard... fair effort buddy! you must be pleased

[Russman]

Yeah very happy with that. It's an XR6 Turbo, not F6.

The fastest run I did was when it bogged a bit. Doesn't seem to hurt as much with a bigger engine (compared to RB20).

The run that I bogged a bit was a 2.133 60' and my best was a 2.07 60'.

If I took out the spare wheel, jack, rubber mat etc it would prob do 13.2 but if I really cared about drag I would buy an auto. I guy was doing 12.8's with an auto that had done a few more k's but still standard.

[UNR33L]

yeh i was suprised how well it went, so is that your daily?

[Russman]

yeh i was suprised how well it went, so is that your daily?

Yep. trying to resist modifying it. Need to be lower and a little louder. Maybe wheels and that'll be if for a while. Eventually I will though then it'll be doing 12s.

Next trip to the drags will be in the 32 shooting for a 12.8 with standard suspension.

[UNR33L]

Just chuck a turbo back exhaust on it i recon, the rims are ok, maybe a pod / larger fmic if needed? and up the boost a bit for the drags.. would be nice

Do you have semi slicks / slicks for your r32? i assume so by looking at your sig

[Sandeep]

i thought it's better to run stiffer suspension on the rear at the drags?

might come down to watch next time.

[HEKT1K]

nah dude, soft is better so it absorbs the torque 'hit'

too much circuit work for you lol

keen to get down to Calder too.. when i get my car sorted!
