Sauwa Drag Racing, Wed 21st Of Feb

[GODTHRILA]

my fastest for the night was

ET - 12.285

Terminal - 111.94mph

Reaction - 0.690

60' - 2.034

was a little higher boost than my street setting (ran it at 1.1bar)

I considered it a win for the night as it was a good virgin run for the R and I didn't break anything!

With some quick times posted and I think we surprised some of the trev's. Good turn out and variety of cars... Paul really put the "turn" in "turn out"... tonight I pray that someone has that on film!

[Brockas]

Top work Paul, 125mph is massive, thats making some huge power.

My first run in the new R, kept the AVC-R switched off (0.9bar) and still ran 110mph.

Unfortunately the long first gear ratio of the OS cross set box combined with the 2835's means that even a limiter launch bogs down. 2.1 was my best 60' of the night.

Will be good to see what it runs when it's tuned and boosted next thursday.

i think dan may have got paul's spin on vid, but im not sure

apparently a 125mph is good enough for a 10 second pass - but he just couldn't get the power down. Watching him race and he was spinning it still on half track - but one 'advantage' of the power meant that he did some awesome burnouts

a few of you guys did some limiter bashing burnouts - sounded and looked good

AND michael ended up running with his hazards on, and lost to paul in the same race

[humz]

mitchy what happened to your car??

only did one run eyy then took off and saw some smoke coming form the rear... turbine eyy???

i got footage of that 33 spinning out! MADNESS! some one owes the big man

[dan_the_man]

post the footage... i didnt get there till after 6 so i missed videoing it

[ix9]

The whole time i was thinking "oh great I hope that fag doesn't hit a wall and we have to wait for a track cleanup"

"oh, wait a sec, I know that car"

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yes, after the first pass on slicks and a close call with the wall I was relagated to using street tyres, which didn't make for any fast times, but still a great night.

If someone has footage of the spin then please post it up

In a total of 4 passes I spun, shredded my wheel nuts, and blew off my intercooler hose. But it could have been much worse. At least I gave the commentators something to chat about

What did happen to his car?? I was racing him at the time. Just as i pasted the line I looked in my review mirror to see a heap of smoke from his car... Hope its nothing to bad.

[GODTHRILA]

[Kaido_RR]

AHHA! it also makes me run faster

[GTS-t VSPEC]

The guy at staging kept telling Mikey to turn them off, but finally gave up just shaking his head

[GODTHRILA]

see... persistance pays off

[thrtytwo]

haha hazards look siic

why did u do that ??

[D3VLISH]

Was a good night guys! Cept for lack of traction

I think half of WA turned up to race their cars - never seen so many down there on a Wednesday night sheesh!

[sam5709]

lol my mate went down in his blue 99 wrx ended up getting 13.1 , he also mentioned he saw a "FU**IN MAD" skyline that got shit times cos of lack of traction and he slide out aswell lol,,

also said he saw a white skyline with smoke coming out the back???

[PSI_GTSII]

This kinda sums up my night

$1400 for PFC and Boost Controller

$600 for fitting and tune

$1000 new clutch

$40 Entry to the drags

Gaining 40rwHP more than before on same dyno

Yet only running .2 seconds quicker over the quarter with slower MPH than before.

PRICELESS

(FTR it ran a 12.4)

[GWP021]

well only managed the one run due to stoopid gearshaft issues which caused a join with team breakdown along with paully and mitchy

then drove home playing find the gear 1st and 4th mostly but it was still a good night

top turnout for the club with some very respectable times as well hope everyone enjoyed themselves

[342Four]

haha hazards look siic

why did u do that ??

because Strich9 (kym) said that if he ran with them on again, he would bitch slap him

so michael did, but no slap

yeah, heard about that gavin

i was walking past when i heard ya go 'finally, got first gear' then you took off
