looks like an awesome day, shame I couldn't make it out.

Did you guys get a chance to run on both lanes?

I swear for some reason I'd always get 0.1 quicker runs out of wynn's lane compared to rocket lol

Yeah drivers could use both lanes

I'm not kidding, 20 mins in and there was hardly anyone lining up! By the time you've got 2 on the start line, then 6 on the return road, the line to pick up timeslips, people with mechanical issues and people who are socialzing with others or having a break (was about 15-20 or so at any given time), the line in staging was SO small!!! I couldnt believe it, if you lined up and ran from the start till the end of the day, there would be NO problem getting in 100 runs.

hmmm....

Is this an SAU scrutineering day or do they still have some wsid staff to do it,

the only reason I stopped going to the wed night drags was because they told me my helmet was too old "it's pre-2007 so doesn't have the right sticker blah blah" I told them where to shove their stickers

Actually, your helmet must be not older than 10 years - or that was what the scrutineer was saying on Sunday.

at one stage I got sick of collecting my timeslips so I just kept going back through the tunnel and then did a u-turn back through and straight to the burnout and start line. I averaged 3 mins between runs :D

That AS/NZS standard has been in place for ages. They stopped accepting the AS/NZ version maybe around 3 years ago, drag racing is too much fun to stop for that reason. Just grab a cheapie from MCAS if its an issue.

Edit: If your helmet meets the other standards like SNELL it should have been ok.

beats me... only know I was told my helmet didn't have the required sticker, my helmet has a snell m2000 sticker on it as well as AS1698

I sort of lost interest in the drags after I sold my GTT anyway

Great day and some nice cars out there!!

Did 9 runs then called it a day as the clutch was telling me to ease up :/

Managed a best of 12.001 @ 116.09mph 60ft 1.748 on my 7th run, so didn't need an andra licence! :D

Nice time.....Did you get a retune with the new acts fitted?

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
