It's the best drag racing title ever. The IHRA racing games were a bit soft in the past and don't have the detail that this one does. In Top Fuel for instance, you can play with clutch weights and timing, fuel load and timing, tyre pressures, blower overdrive, wing adjustments, etc that are all effected by the weather conditions (air temp, track temp, humidity). Really really involved but still has a quick race mode and "Auto Tune" mode if you just wanna get in and give it a crack. Adrian

This game rocks! $79.00 plus P+H anywhere in Australia. If you want one please be quick and email me: [email protected] or call: 02 42611866 Extreme...The Shop Regards, Adrian

That's not such a terrible rule of thumb except I'd prob make it - 0.12 as street tyres tend to get out of the hole slower and are therefore slower to half track. Great formula though.

I TOLD YOU you love the gas!!! Can't wait to see the result of that!! Good luck Mark!!!

Are your eyes painted on? You're getting old, Duncan. And lots of people including myself have congratulated him. Back to Oran Park Sth with you! Gowooon Git! Adrian

Nice!

Tyres really shouldn't breed: + = ?

answer.. No.

Sounds like it's all from suspension setup...........

From the man himself and courtesy of Fullboost Theo Woollett Racing Nissan GT-R Runs Personal Best Pass at Tin Tops April 10th, 2006 By Ben Wooster At the Australian Tin Top Titles held at Willowbank Raceway last weekend, Theo Woollett Racing have reached their goal of completing a sub 9.5 second time in their street registered and street tyred R32 Nissan Skyline GTR, with an elapsed time of 9.359 seconds at a terminal speed of 153.01mph (246klm/h) achieved over the ¼ mile track. Highlighting improved traction as a major contributor to the improved performance, team owner and driver, Theo Woollett added, “We’ve been making the power for quite awhile, now we’re tuning the car to get it to the ground effectively”, stating that gains have been made in suspension setup and power delivery characteristics to achieve the weekend’s improvement of nearly 0.5 seconds of their previous best time. TWR’s Skyline GTR is still very close to it’s original factory specification, with a totally factory standard body shell with glass, standard suspension pick-up points, and still sports such niceties as power windows and full trim. Therefore, the vehicle still weighs in at a substantial 3420lbs (1554kg), making it quite a feat to get this heavy car down the road using what is still a very small capacity 2.6 litre six cylinder engine, albeit in heavily modified form. With around 1000 turbocharged horsepower emanating from the engine, Theo says the engine thrives on huge RPM and turbo boost , stating that he’s used well over 10,000rpm and 40psi during previous runs, but on the weekend’s 9.35-second run the engine didn’t rev over 9,800rpm or see more than 32psi of boost pressure. “Once we are confident with our current suspension set-up, we will once again increase the RPM and boost limits in an attempt to crack the 8-second barrier”, said Theo when interviewed after his record run, adding “We still have a couple of tenths to shave off the 60ft time, and I’m confident once we do this, we will be in the time bracket we know the car is capable of “. With Theo and his team now seemingly coming to grips with this high-tech drag racing package, the months ahead will prove interesting as they takes the fight up to the traditional V8 racers, and their fellow Nissan campaigners around the country. Stay tuned!

DAMN! Glad you're okay, mate. What was the go?

Your answer lies in your next statement. In my experience, a decrease of one tenth of a second in your 60' time = a decrease in 25/100'ths from your ET. Sometimes as much as 3 tenths. So by decreasing your 60' time from 2.1 to 1.8 seconds, you should see a 13.4 - 13.0. Also, getting through the gears quickly and not over revving the thing will help you get that ET down. HOWEVER - For whatever reason, people negate the role that a shirt-load of practice plays. On crappy old Falken street tyres (ZE326's) I routinely ran 12.90 - 13.00 @ 106-108mph but not before 100 passes or so. I've jumped in club members' cars and gone 3 or more tenths quicker than their PB on my first pass. Am I a guru? Definitely not!!!! Someone else could probably jump in my car and go tenths quicker than me! Do the math, find out what the 'Moroso Slide Rule' is and stop relying on dyno figures to guage and compare 1/4 mile ET's. Adrian

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tyres?

Doesn't look like the car was making any extra power (has run huge 153mph traps a few times before) but the 60' has come down and looks to be the key. Adrian

Great effort, theo. A low nine has been begging for quite a while. Well done. Can I speculate that the borrowed parts were tyres? Adrian

Mate, I was trying to help you out and maybe offer a bit of advice. Obviously that was un-wanted and you have different goals. That's cool. That's the end of my discussion on the subject. Good luck with your racing, i hope you run as fast as you want and do it safely. I'm sorry I bothered. Adrian

...nearly....

I'm so proud!
