Hi guys,

Russell here from Drag Tag,

I will try and answer your questions as best I can.

The one thing you have to do is to come down and have a look for yourself, people can talk as much as they like about it but until you see it you won't fully understand.

The cars are held down with specially made brackets that are fitted to the cars rear suspension. These are road legal and engineered. The cars are then held in place on the Dyno via these brackets and a hold down mechanism. The cars don't move.

We also measure the windscreen angle and the weight of the car and all this information is taken into consideration by the computer whilst you are racing. The heavier the car the more the Dyno retards and so on.

Hey Russell, the question has been asked, "what about Brake and Engine cooling?"( also Auto Trans )

For the Drag I would think it would not be an issue, but the Circuit certainly would be as well as the drift also!

How you are going to do the Drift I cant concieve, but you have come this far so I guess you will get it happening.

  • 2 weeks later...
im sorry its way too expensive

Hi guys we have restructed the pricing as memberships won't apply to all that want to come racing.

As Russell has said you really have to come down and check it out in person as l could sit here all day a type words but still you won't have an understanding of the centre.

The new price list.

Car setup ie: Brackets,photo of car,weighed and all car info entered in the Drag Tag system. $195.

Driver setup: Car and driver id cards and training on how to race your car on our system. $60

This is all a one of payment as the car and driver are ready to RACE.

With this setup racing will cost $50 each racing event.

Admission will cost $20.

lf you take out a membership your racing will be discounted at a rate and also has it's benifits.

Check out the discounts at this website http://site.dragtag.com.au/webpage.php?id=18

Also the benifits of racing at Drag Tag is that you are racing for prizes and maybe some cash, you dont get this when racing at a track so this is something else to think about.

roughly how many runs will you get in a night? the website mentions a queing system etc. but are we guranteed a certain number of runs?

just trying to compare $55 drag night at calder to this.

Also is circuit racing available yet? most of the website seems to be geared toward drag racing only.

Mate depends on how many come out to race on average you will get 8 to 10 passes all depends on the race event aswell.

As for the curcuit racing we are still developing the steering software as the lasers we use for drag tag only give us limited steering for circuit tag, we are looking to get some photo cell technology in the future which will give us full steering.

Hi guys if some are still thinking this is not like the track some of you mayknow of a torqois 57 chev coupe that runs 9.70 at Calder has ran tonight at drag tag a time of 10.17 and this car is in street trim ie: full exhuast so hope this helps with your questions.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
