I loved that thing!!!!!!

That's my brothers mini truck. Most of it was built by us in a backyard. Needs a proper suspension setup to hook up and run times. 2JZ Goodness!!!

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

[N1GTR]

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

[NXTIME]

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

[Amy33]

You're a machine Charlie

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.

so what did the 135i BMW do?

[Tats]

Can't remember. I think one was consistent mid-13s and the other was quicker but not consistently. Wish I could've pulled printouts from that commentary screen! haha

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!

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