I will be at nunawading maccas at 3:45 ok. Look for the guy in the wagon :)

Ill have to pick up a mate from resivoir on the way, but if there are only like 2-3 of us maybe you guys will come with, else, we'll split up on bell street.

See you there tomorrow everyone.

Dont worry about semi slicks at calder guys, I rekon there not necessary. I ran a 12.5 with a 1.8 second 60 ft on bald Dunlop SP8000e - granted they were 265s, but still its all comes down to the way you launch, you gotta remember the start line is grippy as f**k, big burnnout on st tyres gets em even grippier. Its not like the street at all, ive got mates who dont wanna take there cars down because they compare launchin it at the track to like launching off the lights - its not the case - trick is to keep the revs high so it gets onto boost fast, and as the lights stage on the yellow, keep ur clutch at the friction point jusssssssssssssst before it grabs, dont shit urself from a little wheelspin but if its excessive just knife the clutch slightly. Another method is handbrake, but i dont like it because it can upset traction. Done be shy thru the gears, no flatchanging, but sharp quick and precise, keep the shifts stictly to the redline, i see so many ppl shifting early. Also keeping the car cool right up to the line helps, when ur in pits getting ready for a run, engine off, bonnet up, get a couple of mate to push the car. It looks stupid but I helps so much.

Just some advice for those who havent raced, I really enjoy my drag racing, ive probably had close to 50 or more runs in all my cars thru the years.

Best advice though, dont distract yourself, just get out there and have fun.

I was going to put on the semis, but couldn't be arsed.

I'm running 255 Hankook Ventus Sport which hook up okay.

Previously I have run a 1.9 60ft so I hope I can repeat that.

I'm buying a hand water spray so I can cool the pipes after each run, and also cool the oil cooler and as well. Gonna look like a goon, but who cares. Temperature = bad!

Water spray is a great idea to take down there, make sure everythings cool. As for sprayin on the oil cooler - what for lol, ur pushing it hard for less than 14 seconds. I dont think there gonna be soaring.

    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
