Eastern Creek......my First Go!

[R33stagea]

my first run in the stagea.......14.6@161km second run i stuffed the start by a second and a half and still run [email protected] more practice required!!!!!!!!

[Ska]

Well Done! That is a great time, and by the sounds of it, you might have another 0.5 of a second to go!!

I ran 14.2@99mph with 160awkw at heathcote, everyone on the day also agreed the track was slow (SAU/WRX drag day)

So I say you've got a bit more practice needed.

That is great too Alex! I wonder what mine will run if I ever get it going properly

Considering I ran a 14.1 in my 178rwkw R33, and my stagea feels a lot quicker off the line then the r33 ever was. And that was my main problem with the 33, wheelspin off the line, I was a crap launcher

all a bit hard with that bloody helmet on!!!!!

first run was on low boost too! forgot to flick the switch.(9psi)

Alex's drag racing method:

Sit the car on the line, stage it up nicely

Put the handbrake on as hard as possible and leave the car in D

Push the brake as hard as you can with your left foot and build boost with the right foot

Put left hand on handbrake release and right hand on wheel

Pop handbrake/left foot brake at the same time and mash accelertor with right off

Now you're off, just point and hond the pedal down flat

If you want, you can stall in 1 and shift throught he gears, but I found I hit redline a few times.

[R33stagea]

what was yours stalling to?

[AlexCim]

about 10psi which is uhh, 2,800, 3k maybe.
