i need a legal run for the list so pick the quickest one with a reaction time of 0.400 or higher

0.213 is a break and not a leagl run

but equaltes to a 13.167

Just got back from the drags, I'm kinda happy but still dissapointed with my times.

Got a few flat 14's out and a best of 13.9, but the car had shitloads in it, it was the driver that ruined it.

EVL R33 got a best of 13.4, of the runs I saw, but he may have bettered it. We were swamped by the number of STI's, all running low 13's or better.

It was a bit of a poor showing from the Skylines, with only a handful there, probably the hot weather putting people off.

The heat was unbearable as the start, and even at 9:30 was still uncomfortable. I think times may have been slightly down due to the heat and shitty track conditions, better traction on the normal road, but there are no excuses.

I've got a twin plate clutch and no matter how many ways I tried I just couldn't get a decent launch, usually lighting the tyres up through into 2nd. But if practice makes perfect then I'll be down there next Wednesday.

I must say that to all who told me that low tyre pressures work, you were dead right, and doing a burnout, with the tyres Hicks not the clutch, also helped. Other than that with top speed at 170km/hr I should have gotten a better time, so I'll be there next Wednesday early again.

I would have gotten 15 runs in, pretty good value for money if you ask me.

Pretty good effort for a first atempt, i'll be there next wednesday. Show ya how a mid 13 should look. :lol:

Getting my car back tomorow with the new clutch.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah, I suppose I shouldn't be too disappointed, I think I'll have a better idea next time. It will be good fun racing one another, as we should be pretty close. I had the top end power to roll most of the other Skylines and 300's and some V8's, but everybody got the jump on me big time.

Looking forward to next Wednesday already.

How do you guys find the V8s usually go?

Are they generally a tough opponent?

I havent taken my car down yet, but as soon as I put the intercooler and turbo in, I will

Hopefully should be just after New Year.

[Guest Rhino]

I'll be heading down next Wed. at this stage, but I'll know for sure next week.

Thanks to getting rid of the boost restrictor I feel 12's are mine, I'll also drop the pressure in the tyres to see if that has any effect on a 4wd car.

[Hicks]

I haven't been beat by a v8 down there, maybe I get the slow ones.

I've dragged a new maloo, vu r8 clubsport, vt gts, a few old comodores, not sure the name of old models.

V8's=top end speed=Bullshit!!

[summoner]

meh.. with mid to hi 13's i'd say u must be running the slow v8's most gen3's down there are atleast pulling mid 13's nowadays

not to mention wheel standing torana's and the like. Altho there are a fair few slow v8's there, try lining up an unasuming grey VT HBD with BBS hockmesh rims. just bolts ons and a new Torque converter, should give you a run

[EVL R33]

Well, sort of happy...

best of 13.6 @ 102mph, 60' of 2.00 (best of the night 1.8).

When I got a good start, I stuffed something up (read missed a gear, damn shortshifter:D ), and when I had good top end runs I bogged down..

But practice makes perfect so I'll be down there again don't you worry. Had a great time, met Paul and a couple of other skyline owners.

Don't get me wrong, some of the V8 guys have awesome cars, like the totally bombed torana's, but I was sursprised that I managed to run down some of the others, I expected more top end from them. I think one of the torana's managed to just get into the 9's.

It was a great night, and nice to see EVL R33's new ride, even though there was one almost identical down there. I hope conditions are a bit more favorable next week, and they prepare the track better, but I'll be there trying to improve my times.
