The fact that one of the sponsors on here was stupid enough to run a dyno day on the same day as this event does not help either.
its great to see some skylines on the entrant list guys.

its a shame someone organised a dyno day for the same day, not very well thought out that one.

should be an awesome day

shane

Cheers guys.

147 entries atm. Is that enough or do you need us to cancel our dyno day?

For your information I originally slated the dyno day on a different weekend so as to not clash with Compak Attack but much later and due to pressure from club members who were to be at another event I changed it, forgetting that Compak Attack was on.

So it's my fault.

Also, since I'm here already, people come to dyno days because they are cheap. We get very few high powered cars. I easily won my class last time with 256rwkw.

And another thing, I don't race for spectators or sponsors. I race for fun. I may not be the only one. If the cost per run doesn't add up then my interest wanes. This is why I like private hires, because, as long as I don't break stuff, I will get lots of runs.

I think it was mentioned earlier that you get at least 3 runs in qualifying and one elimination, more if you can race. Well guess what, I can't race. I've had 9 runs in a manual car. I will lose the first chance I get.

I'll stop before I go right off topic but suffice to say that I greatly dislike comments like "stupid" that are directed at me even if you didn't realise they were directed at me.

Cool your heels Abo...it was directed at Penlington not you or Richard...neither of you are a sponsor on here...he is.

I wanted as many cars to both events as we could get...running them on the same day was poor management...if its otherwise please tell me so.

story is hopefully clear now.

No, it was poor management on my part. Not John's fault either. :laugh:

Hey Adam, you should know by now the drag arena is for dcik swinging, gun toting w@nkers. Where political correctness or manners are forgotten in the pursuit of the almighty ego.

p.s. Hope to be back in the drag ranks soon!

True, true.

Regarding the NZ method; don't you think there is a big difference between say, a 12.9 and a 12.0? I mean barring stuffups, the faster car will always win.

I guess people will then build a car not just to go fast but not to go too fast do you think? Like if I'm running high 12's and then make some improvements to get down close to 12.0 I wont bother trying to get 11.9 in competition because I'll be too far away from the guys running 11.0.

If you were running an 11.9 I'd say it would be easier dropping boost back a notch or two so you can run in the 12.00 range. Cars running flat out don't seem to be consistant at all, notice how some people qualify a second faster than their dial in?

Other than sandbagging it to run DYO or a x.00 time, only other thing to do is man up and go alot faster... so you can sandbag that bit harder!

Ah ok. I guess I was just looking at Adrians consistency like it was normal.

It was only right towards the end of last season that the consistency came. Before that I almost always backed off to 12.0 for consistency.

Had a great day yesterday :)

Managed a best of 12.05@117 in qualifying for SRWD, then in my first ever elimination race, managed to pull off a win which was a bit of a buzz. I actually backed off towards the end and just shaded the racer next to me over the line running a 12.10@109 on a 12.05 dial in with a 0.04 R/T (also my best 60' of day - 1.71), so there may have been an 11 there...who knows. Ended up stuffing the start on the next round though and lost out, but it was fun!

well done to 2rismo and Taryn for winning SFWD

Awesome work mate, well done!

Thanks again for the help yesterday, it was much appreciated. Shame I couldn't covert some of your advice consistently on the track, but I'll get there eventually with some more practice :)

Cheers,

Brenden.

Nice one, well done!

If my eyes weren't deceiving me, I think I also saw the MX-5 (nfs13b?) run a 9 during the grudge runs later in the night. I can't remember the exact time or mph (I was staging up for a run behind you), but if so, well done also!

Lee ran a 9.88 @ 134 with a 1.43 60 footer on radials!! Awesome stuff from a nugget with a broken gearbox (supposedly). Grydge runs saw 1st and 2nd gear come back and the car took off like a bullet. Awesome stuff! :)

I loved caning the GTi's and Pulsars but they were all top blokes and great sports.

Well done to the bowling club special on the 9, the win and the championship!!

This was the most relaxed days drag racing i think i've ever had.

Yes, well done to NFS13B, running a 9.8@134.

Well done to Shane on his 9 sec grandpa-spec pass :)

How did the GTR's go?

It was also unfortunate to hear that BLODIS RX3 had a major crash, as well as Micks Motorsport's car.

Adrian, SFWD win?? hahaha

      Yet another clutch question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe Josh could and should look at that UniClutch thingo too. The street twin one would take the power he's talking about easily. Light action and no noise.

      Yet another clutch question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, clutch feel is so subjective. I moved to the Nismo Twin from a heavy single plate NPC Heavy Duty Organic and it is sooo much better to drive in everyday traffic. A heavy clutch pedal is the worst here. The Nismo is light enough I don't even think about it. But with the heavy clutch in traffic I was aware of every time I had to push the pedal. In terms of being grabby I would describe it like this: - A normal clutch has ~10cm of clutch pedal travel between initial bite point and clutch fully gripping - With the Nismo twin plate it's ~4cm of clutch pedal travel for the same From what I understand that's normal for multi-plate clutches. Maybe the Nismo is more forgiving than others, don't know. It's not punishing but you have to get used to it. My driving is 80% city and no issues there. Smooth to take off and change gears. Hill starts are mostly fine. It is a bit of a pain for reversing on an incline. I find it hard to get the right amount of clutch slip for that and always end up feeling like I'm burning it too much. But, you may have a very different experience based on your body type and footwear. With heavy boots or shoes it's likely going to be pretty shit. Just because the clutch is light and the boots don't give enough feel to let the clutch pedal out with precision. Might be similar if you are a big guy or have motor control issues. But able-bodied and driving with decent shoes it feels great. You don't mention noise at all. It does chatter at idle RPM when it gets warm. Nothing that is out of place in a GTR though IMO.

      15-20k for the 8hp would be a much smaller loss lol.
