All I was saying was that with that terminal speed, and the right setup and launch, your car is capable of high 11s :mad:

True... but your talking nitto or slicks then for a high 11 i reckons.

Good time indeed SLY33, i started dragging last year and you pick it up pretty quickly IMO

After 2-3 meets your heaps better than your 1st thats for sure.

I ran flat 13's... with a lucky 12.9 @ 109mph.... 2.1 60ft.

And that was after a few meets.

My first times were around 13.8... so my times dropped quickly as yours will.

Just get out there more. It becomes addictive thats for sure.

I'm addicted but I just can't get the times :mad:

I've had around 20 passes and improved 0.2sec even after about $1000 of mods :rofl: :rofl:

I'll be back out there again tho in a month to chase that 13.6sec which I believe my car is capable of (just not the driver) :wassup:

I went from a 14.8 at 98mph to a 14.0 at 100mph with just improving my launches.

I got the drag bug to, but this coming wednesday is the last wednesday street meet till next summer :D For some reason they are changing to every second saturday 11am-5pm for off street drags during winter! :throwup:

So i reckon i will be back out next week trying to improve, just with practice.

Winter Street Meet Mode

WSID will be switching to winter off-street mode for its Auto One Street Meets, presented by Pennzoil, from the beginning of May.  

Through the months of May, June, July and August the off-street events will move from Wednesday nights to every second Saturday.

This will see off-street events being run on:

May 8

May 22

June 12

June 26

July 10

July 24

August 7 and

August 21.

These race events will see gates open at 9 am with cars going down the track from 11 am to 5 pm. Due to the increased hours of operation the entry numbers will be extended. Once we’re back in the warmer months in September the Auto One off Street meets, brought to you by Pennzoil, will switch back to every Wednesday night.

I AM NOT HAPPY! :dump:

I think their will be more spectators and more drivers but having more drivers is a very bad idea unless they break it up into groups (ie; groups of 50 at a time, do 5 runs each and then park it for the day).

At the moment with 120 cars on a wednesday nite it takes 3hrs to get 3 runs and then 2 runs in the last hour. Thats way too long to wait inbetween runs (both for comfort of the drivers and the cars). If WSID break it up into say 4x 50 car grps it means those 50 can get it over and done with in a fairly quick time period and then be done with things.

I started in the 13's and worked my way down to 11.7 before I had a problem with a ringland hahaha, I'll be back in a few months, I hope everyones still racing then as at some meets last year I was near the only R33

I don't think you need to worry about competition sir! The numbers have been growing fairly quickly, as opposed to track days where there's a meeting once a month with the drags it's (or was) once a week.

Changing to the Summer timetable has less to do with temperature (ambient and track) and more to do with the fact that the track gets quite dewey in the early evening in the Winter months. Very slippery...
