There are ways around this... you could break the beam (and start the timers) then take off and see what MPH you can get. This can indicate your potential ET on a perfect run. Or you could take off easy and then plant it - again, to see what MPH is acheived on the run, and hence what potential ET the car is capable of.

Alternatively, you could take off hard and then either back off or brake before the finish line. Couple the first half track passes with the MPH acheived on the other runs and you can work out the opotimal run ET and TS. Then, go hard at the end of the day and get your 10second timeslip and get booted :D

That must have been quite a while ago and WSID's private days were much different back then. Now they have two types, ones like this SAU:NSW one (ie 11.00+ cars), and the private track hire days for ANDRA-teched cars (a handful of cars only).

Is there truth to the rumor that if it's blatantly obvious by your 60" foot that you're holding off that you can get booted by that time even if you don't run a 10?

The rule book does allow it, but it only gets used if you are being an idiot or a c*nt towards the officials etc.

just looked through the ANDRA rule book and can't see anything about 60" but there is a time limit of 7secs for the 1/8th mile

I was just reading in the previous event (2007) where several cars ran within 5 or 7 hundreths of breaking into 10's and was fine. So sounds like it isn't a "fuzzy" rule, but I guess one of the guys that is closer to the rules could answer definitively.

List is all updated to date.. Come on everyone, you wanted it and said u would come and now you have all dropped off..

Tell your friends and get entered because if you dont do it now it may never come back!

There is nothing about a short time to get you booted, just ET or trap speed.

You can also be booted if you are running quicker than 12.50 and have slicks without front runners. I did this in testing and sandbagged at half track .. and got booted.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
