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.

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.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
