[R31Nismoid]

fine weather

=

The first Annual Drag Challenge between SAU-Vic and the WRX Club of Vic a total success.

Thanks to all who came along today to Heathcote Park Raceway.

It was a superb day. I really enjoyed myself even though i wasnt racing!!!

Track temp was a little down and this was clearly reflected in the times as almost everyone on average we a few 10th's off what they should have been in general.

But it was great to see a lot of first timers, and even the ladies out there having a go.

So post up your pics/thoughts and whatever else you feel like blurting out

cheers - ash

[sammus]

what happened dezz?

[Daz]

How many WRX's broke their gear box

[R31Nismoid]

How many WRX's broke their gear box

None... two Skylines had gearbox issues however...

One seems like an reasonably easy fix

The other seems it might be a little bit more expensive

[ferni]

Damn i'm jealous...

Where are the times and photos?

What happened to your car dezz?

[Daz]

haha thats suprising, alright come on who were they??

It was a great day,thanks to all involved and my chauffer's for the ride. Big congrats to Bass Junky for getting his illusive 12 sec run. Best of 12.86 kept everyone on edge of seat waiting for it to happen.

Best MPH: 115.9mph

Best 60ft: 2.0

Best reaction time: 0.52

oh, an on my last run I split a standard rubber elbow bend of my intercooler piping.....bitta 100mph tape wraped round there an EBC switched off....made it home sweet as.

Well done and big thanks to all the the organisers.

It was a heap of fun. I've only dragged road bikes before at Calder a couple of times many many years ago and once at Heathcote last year and on those days all I did is wait for hours for a run. 10 seconds of fun every couple of hours.

This day was awesome, you could basically have a run when ever you felt like it. The opportunity to truely do long term damage to the whole car.

It'd be good if we could squeeze another one of these in this later in the year.

[Coupe-This]

ur all lucky the monaro wasnt there

hehe

seems like u guys had fun, awsome stuff, to all those who had problems unfortuned at most, hope things can get fixed easily and wont cost a fortune !!!

[Z1LLA]

Had a great time there today, the track was maybe a little off its best in my opinion, went a best of 12.3/114, just a bit off the PB for the car (R32 GT-R, Z1LLA plates).

Lots of nice cars out there. Look forward to participating in a few more club events this year.

Thanks to those who organised it. Was well run.

[RCHOO]

Yeah..

well done peoples

As said there were a lot of first timers out there today. myself included.

My LIMO..(r33 4 door) did the best it could with no big mods. 15.4 me best

But that gives me something to better next time like 15.3 lol..

Everone looked like they were having a great time . i met some great blokes

from the WRX club . and hope we do it again soon.. cheers......

oh yeah,, i hope everone that came home along the Northern highway spotted that speed camera in wallan.....

I like the way your car launch mate, all you need is a good clutch and some more boost, looking strong on the run.

[ferni]

Pete got his 12, nice! What time did you run Aaron? What about Jack?

[RCHOO]

yeah I saw that camera....was a dark burgandy kinda colour new Holden Rodeo.....hope it didnt get any lines or rexies

Yeah hope not .

there were 8 of us and the lead car spotted it at last second and hit the skids

we all had to slow down that quick we crawled past him at about 10 ks a hour

My clutch was dead before the end of the day :

but suprisingly my car ran its best time with two people in the car, and a dead clutch

lol, mods are in progress, so it better be ready for the next drag day
