whatz whoop arse wednesdays like??

[paully_tee]

hey y'all,

Two questions:

Im thinking of takin my car down to whoop arse wednesdays but am a little shy about it as it is just a NAr33. Just wanna know from all you peepz who have been down, what kind of cars usualli rock up there?? Are we talkin hardcore racers with 10sec time slips or do u get regular street cars such as pulsars and lancers + civics etc. What kindov of crowd usualli rocks up there??

2nd question:

The reason that i want to go down theres is because my mate just got a 94 prelude si, and hes a real ****y bastard with it. Ive been in it and its got sum balls, who do u rekon would win in a drag??? Were both manuals, both stocker and both lower spec engines. ie no turbos or vtec. I realli wanna shut him down but im not to sure wether i can do it. Any tips for preperation???

BTW, takin it to the track cuz we all know street racing is not on.

Dude I had the same questions a couple of weeks ago. Do yourself a favour and just go.

The skill levels vary from the out and out must-be-asleep-at-the-wheel-their-reaction-time-is-so-slow to the professional elite drag racer.

I was originally worried, but seriously, you won't embarrass yourself unless something pops out the top of your hood. Go out there and have fun. It's well worth it.

Trust me when I say this: There are some seriously shit cars racing down at the 'plex, but they're having fun.

Let your tyre pressures down to 20psi.

Keep your RPM at a constant rate just before launching where you know you're just before loss of traction if you dump the clutch.

If you HAVE traction control, turn it off. You (by all accounts) should go faster without it.

Take a motorbike helmet, long sleeved jacket, jeans and shoes.

just go do it man, its good fun (unless you break something) last time i went down i went againt a hyndai lantra with a "TURBO" sticker on it ass end. basicly he ran a 17's all night.

you need a helmet, long pants and sleeve's, and you car's gotta be street legal, no leaks etc.

just do it!!!!

its bulk fun eh

i gonna take my car down again after i get SAFC and a tune

R33 GTR engine i wanna see how it runs!

[PHATR32]

im hanging to go!!

[paully_tee]

lol. cheers for the heads up guys. BTW, how much is entry and how many runs do u get?

[MirKz]

30 bux for memory, and u get to run as many times as possible (ive gone down a few times and got about 5-8 runs in a night, and thats getting there at like 6:30, and they open earlier than that)

[Psiker]

my personal record is about 15-16 runs. but i got there right as the gates opened. it also depends on the amount of cars there and such. but yeah 30 bucks and ur in

[ix9]

Yep, I've had about 30 runs in one night - it definitely wasn't busy but

[NO_RSPECT]

I have had 52 runs in 1 night...

man that was a bad curry

kekeke

anyways dude definately do yourself a favour and go.. its hard to get past all the build up from other guys running 12's etc... cos it makes it seems like its a really really serious evening out.. and you get egged and covered in feathers if you don't crack a 14

but smeh.. nothing beats the first time, driving toward the lane, getting that nervous feeling as you start to doubt the skill that won you ever traffic light grand prix you have entered into. ....

you will love it.

try not to inhale the burnout smoke too much

[PHATR32]

dont blow your clutch on the first outing either....

[paully_tee]

i farken hope not. just had my clutch replaced abt 20000km ago. Onli thing is, i dont think the jack arse machined my fly wheel...

If i deflate my tyres to 20 psi, is that still safe to drive on all the way home?? or is a there a facility where i can pump them back up to at the motoplex?

ps. somebody gimme sum hope that im not gonna get shitted on by this lude :Oops:

[fane]

dont go down with a stock clutch.... you wont make it home

[rev210]

Go and have some fun mate.

Clutch wise just 'drop it'. Sidestepping the clutch at the right rpm and feeding the throttle correctly will minimise wheelspin and the clutch isn't going to get worn out.

Take down the helmet, long sleave shirt and $30 and you can't go wrong

[fane]

drop the clutch at the last orange on the tree and then your off... just have your rpm right.... great fun...

[PACEY]

I've been meaning to go down too. Humm. Maybe......... whos up for a convoy this wednesday? we can meet somewhere central. I'm in and rather go down with fellow liners than by myself. Hey we acn even watch you chop your mate on the way down:)

If by taking the piss you mean the whole "your car is a rice burning 2.0/2.5/2.6L juice box" vs your "all iron, heavy as shit, 5.0L+ goon bag" then clearly you are endowed with a huge wang which your boyfriend must love. I'm so jealous. I wish I could have a big wang like you. Then i'd be able to feel like a big man posting on forums where clearly nobody gives a flying F**k what you think.

When I grow up, I wanna be just like you.

[ix9]

I wish goulash was here to set that guy right

Stock clutch if fine on an N/A i reckon, although a new clutch on my car shaved off .5 seconds

Just go down, and try different things you'll have bagloads of fun...
