plex action tonite

[Guest GTRRR]

missed the plex action tonite, much happen?

just heard a rumor did the speedworks r34 $$$$$$.$$ just munch itself yet again.

[jmp]

Yer - it munched.

I saw it go up but never come back

Looked awesome though.

Got some pics of hicks, radium and got boost.

Also got some of macka and a few others cars I dont recognise.

I got a lovely shot of Hicks as he was coming back

(the big guy in the white shirt drooling was me Hicks )

Anyway - I have some pics but not very good (Lost my camera V plates tonight). Will post them when I get to work tommorow

[Hicks]

aahh, I see.

Yeah, the gtr r34 died. It looks so awsome though. After each run I saw it sittin there at the end of the track.

But my night was shit. Didn't put my stock rims back on. 14.1 was the quickest.

[Nexus_SiX]

Got a 14.1 myself.

When the GTR popped it was racing Emma at the time..

Was waiting for them to come back when the announcement was:

"Seems ladies and gentlemen one of the turbo skylines have had a blow and theres oil on the track"

*heart stops*

on reflection was it coz of my lady or the car -j/k - *ducks in case*

Smoke was seen coming out of it just b4 the finish..also the fornt right quarter panel was very scuffed. Like it grazed the wall.

Plex was ok tonight pretty warm and the track was average at best.

I got a 13.4 at 109 mph 2.5 60 foot, i still need to learn how to launch with big turbo though.

On the way home i raced this white r33, had a cypher *cough* sticker on it and what seemed like either an external gate or a screamer pipe, pulled pretty hard.

I think i raced a couple of people from here as well...

Yeah, it bogged down on the start but picked itself up and screamed off. Made some bad noises half way down the track and gave off a puff of smoke towards the end of the track. Word through the grapewine is a busted gearbox and engine. The scuff marks on the front bumper were there when it turned up, so not related to the drag run. I have its run on video if anyone here (or from speedworks) is interested in seeing it.

What did it munch before?

[MrMayhem]

The big Silouette pulls a 13.4 almost there dude not bad for a 2L:uh-huh:

[RB20LagWagon]

Yeah but i dont think a 2 litre 6 can do a 12 second pass in a skyline, i mean it is just not possible!:uh-huh:

[MrMayhem]

lol

I didn't manage to improve my times from last week (13.9 again), same excuses, but I did manage to beat Hicks all night, so it made it worthwhile.

There was a much larger turnout than the week before, lots of Skylines and Commodores, but I don't think anyone was running there best times.

See'ya:burnout:

[ix9]

Went and picked up my car last night...... bah!

Still got bubbling on boost noise!!! BAH!!

i'll be at the drags early next year to break the 14s barrier tho

[GOT BOOST]

13.8 for me

on simex tyres after beating up on them they stick sh*t to a blanket

still pickin rocks up today.and got 2.1 60 fts.

gonna make it my mission to crack 12's in 2ltr skyline, soon as i get on my next break the big turbos on and try again. oh a clutch may be on cards got it fairly stinkin last night

[GTS-t VSPEC]

GOT BOOST,

That was a good time, and impressive 60'. Next time I'll have to let you drive my car, so you can improve my cars times. My shitty tyres also get nice and sticky after a bit of thrashing, and they seem to be lasting for ages.

See'ya:burnout:

[RadiuM]

last night was sh!t for me... i couldnt bust past 15.2, 0.6 off my best..., which is 14.6 and ive gotten that every time ive been down this season (3 times), slower terminal speed too.

God knows whats happened to the car after compliance..

I had brand new S03's on there expecting to cut maybe a few tenths off my time as the RE710's had gone hard, but no luck...

slippery track? headwind?

i dunno..

had a mate down there with his v8 and he was also 0.6 behind his times the last time we went down a few weeks back and he had some head work done to his car. He was also pissed.

ODD.

ahh well. at least itll blow anything away around a corner

And thats where it counts .

Note the position of 1/4 mile racing on Doug Hayashi's Pyramid of Speed.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

It would be great if I could take 0.6seconds off my time, it would be quite respectable then.

I asked the officials last night about having a red light run. They said that it doesn't affect the ET, therefore Macka's time of 12.98 stands, but becuase it wasn't a legal run then will not be accepted officially.

See'ya:burnout:

[deesh]

was a good turnout, got 10 runs.

Although im not happy with my times, i improved my driving ability throughout the night, best was a 14.05 with a 2.2 60'.

Gotta perfect the launch, get a dump, get a clutch, and try again.

I agree with GOT BOOST, simex tyres are the stickiest ive ever had.

That blown LS1 was only able to pull a flat 13.

[Hicks]

V SPEC, the only reason you beat me is cause I had my 19's on.

13.74, beat that mother f#cker. :lol:

[osc@r]

It looked like the track was a little more slippery than usual. Quite a few people I spoke with were running a tad slower than their normal times.. There's a few events over chrissy so they'll prep the track up nicely and when it starts up again early next year, it should make for some quicker times..

maybe...

[summoner]

which blown ls1 would that be?

also mph's would be handy if ya post times, as in lagwagons case it indicates a very reall 12 second potential there(altho.. big turbo lag mite prevent that atm).

As for the gt-r going pop.. hopefully that'll stop the whiney sooks always complaining about the "trevs" breaking down on track HAHA
