Question Bout Motorplex

[Psiker]

im not sure if neone else has noticed this but...

Every time i go to the drags on wednesday nights i really do see a little bias out there to the boys who live in lanes 2+3 (holdons and Fords)

Take last week for instance. chrisroi did a burnout, it was a little excessive yes and did go slightly past the start lane. but next thing i know the guy who sends the car thru is holding the sing up behind his car making a big deal about it and abusing chrisroi.

And then there was the usual from the aussie brigade "kick him out" "f'ing peice of crap jap cars can't do burnout neways"

Shortly after the same gentleman at the drags was showing some guy in a hotrod how to do a burnout and cheering him on as he went miles past the start lane. ?!?!?!

Has this bias always happened at the drags and will it improve. i hope so bcause i think that it is a good night for all cars aussie and jap. and that it shouldnt be ruined by peoples preference on cars as to whether they can break ne rules or not

i know this probably doesnt make ne sense but ne way thanx for humoring me. hopefully someone can enlighten me as to why it is like this

Many thanx

P.S - I do think all the guys at the drags are top blokes and do a great job to keep these things goin for us car enthusiasts

You're right, there is some bias towards the aussie cars.... but it's just thier fear of inferiority really.

Don't know about you but I cheered when i saw that old green XY falcon pull an 11second pass last week...

as much as I saw that white 11sec GTR this week....

There are countless cars (mainly trevs, sorry shouldnt stereotype!) that do burnouts pass the start line and it's not fair we get told off for it when we're the smallest group of perpetraitors. Long live equality I say!

Yes, I know quite profound for a friday arvo at work. then again, that's what beer does to ya!

Psiker,

The trevs have been there alot longer and have a very strong fan base, even among the officials, but in general I have found there to be no real issues. Hell if I were an official I would be biased towards jap cars.

Don't worry about it too much, the number of jap cars turning up will eventually sway both the public and officials our way.

Youll find that the trev lanes will get a few more runs per night too, their lanes running more often and for longer, i think i want to run in the trev lane next time i go there i want to bust some chop on the v8 brigade.

[skyzerr33]

they usually stick me in the trev lane

only been beaten by a trev once at the plex bloody noce old white falcon ute pulling low 12's

[bully]

i think its a numbers thing as it takes longer for lanes 1/2 to run through we get the perception that they get a better deal - my mate runs a white commodore super streeter down there and he gets about the same passes as me per night - i been put in there lanes before and didnt notice ant difference . The young guy that normally looks after the staging lanes on wednesdays - if any off you ever bother to have a chat to him is quite a import fan

I think motoplex should have some corners

my car was not made for 1/4 miles, but for corners, heaps of it!

All I want is below elements

Rain

Cheap tire

Smooth cement block big enough to slide

cheers

Psiker,

Have you actually ever ran your car there?

If you get there early then you will get heaps on runs in a night, if someone else gets one more then it's no big deal, still very good value for money.

[Psiker]

i didnt say nething bout ppl getting moer runs v-spec. what u talking bout. i just made the comment bout the burnouts. which is rather blatant. i think u meant someone else

Psiker

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Sorry, lost track of what this thread was on about, to much whoring affects the mind.

Anyway, have you run your car yet? Can it do a burnout?

See'ya:burnout:

[Psiker]

heh i may be running the little excel on wednesday so i dont look like too much of a tool for the 4 & 6 day.

hoping to get better than what my title suggests. manybe a 18. but we will see

i can spin the tyres but they dont like to smoke up. ( lack of power i presume)

now if they had some turns i would get some sideways action happening... yay understeer

Psiker to pass scrutineering you may have some work to do -- brakes and windscreen

[GTS-t VSPEC]

They seem pretty good with scrutineering, they do check most things are safe for you and the other competitors. Good brakes and a clean windscreen are a must.

My breaks squeeked like sheit before I put some Bendix Ultimate in on the weekend.

How can they "test brakes" by tapping the pedal when the car is idling?

FYI: Ultimate pads are top stuff, except they are pretty dusty!

[summoner]

Joe. u want corners go to Barbagello or Collie.. u want drags motorplex easy. Now dont bring up that pointless crap again

just u waite for the torrie to be done, i'll take u on in corners

[puckish]

Pure and simple when the old trevs drop their load of engine oil on the track it can be locaized saving the decent cars from getting a crappy lane...hehehehehe

putting flame suit on....

[MrMayhem]

all cars should be completely mixed in together

a streetcar is a streetcar

[GTS-t VSPEC]

True, it is nice to mix it up with the V8's etc.

Can you choose to go in whichever lane you want?

Or do you have to go in the 8,6,4 or whatever they do?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

JiMiH,

They usually assign you a lane, but if you asked then I'm sure they wouldn't mind swapping you.
