wierd... expensive tho $550 to get a 'tag lock down system' installed...

interesting idea tho... wonder how it works with AWD... and the weight/aero part of it?

what the fark is with that gay video of those girls dancing around??!?

Also:

"With a racing membership, each vehicle is set up in Drag Tag’s workshop where it is weighed, and the frontal area and drag coefficient from the car's manufacturer entered into a computer. Using this information, we are able to assign a carefully-calculated air resistance equation."

Haven't had my car on it mate...would love to though.

From what I've seen, the results are incredibly accurate compared to others' real-world drag times.

I need to find the photos of the Linux arrays running the thing. The number crunching is in-farking-sane!

Adrian, are you affiliated in any way with Drag Tag? Just would like to know if the opinion is unbiased.

Without airflow how is the engine, brakes, etc. cooled?

With 4wd cars how can you turn the wheel? As i have seen some close calls if the wheels are not kept straight.

I've been exposed to it and its development in various ways for a couple of years. I don't work for them and they're interstate! :O My employer has advertising at their premises and vice versa.

It's just a cool concept. Skip the drag racing component for a sec and think of the driver training aspect. Controlled environment driver education in real world situations. Great idea with heaps of promise.

I support any idea that increases driver training and road safety and gets the fast cars racing where they should be.

Brake cooling etc..... dunno. I'd send em an email. Every question I've ever asked has been answered promptly and sensibly.

Great.............

Would be good to get some answers. For 2wds the front brakes wont matter as they are stationary, but the rears may get a little warm :D.

The concept is great, hopefully it kicks off for them.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
