Quickest Reaction Time Prize At Wsid11/7/07

[useless]

Just posting up about last week at wsid.I had met quite a few of the skyline forum members down there s the tyre gauge I lent out sparked up conversation everywhere. I only go twice ayear to the drags and I ended up popping the 0.000 reaction time and ended up taking home $960 dollars. I didnt even know there was a prize for this..I am still amazed!!

Btw very nice to meet you guys there the other night cheers

yeah

the timing equipment at WSID is obviously better than it was at the old Creek strip, because i seem to remember any better than a 0.004 at the old track was classed as a redlight.

I have heard this too.On their website of wsid they actually have an article before the night that it is the quickest reaction time without crossing the red.This must mean that they know if I had run the red!!Which obviously I didnt.

BTW my tyre pressure gauge was stolen on the night but didnt realise tll the next day.Funny thing is after being a good samaritan I realise it read 7 psi too high.So much for a 50 dollar gauge!!

60 footers went to buggery 2.486 to 2.9 . Standard ones do 2.3 lol. As a result the et wasnt good at all. The wagon had no traction whatsoever.I had taken it out to see where its at. Last year it ran a 14.7 .It has more power this year but just cant get traction. Today I treated it nicely and installed some traction enhancing parts.The takeoff has dramatically improved.The rear leaf springs are not flexing at all.

The last run of the night and no final timing board.Tyre pressures were adjusted and the car recorded a 2.109 60 footer 6.088 330 footer and 9.335 660 footer.This run was on par with a 14.5 1/4 but never got recorded.But it happens and I still had a great night.

Hahaha... Good man.

at willowbank a perfect reaction time is 0.400 cause it starts timing when the last amber light goes off. this is taken from the willowbank raceway website

It measures the time from when the last amber come on to when your front wheel clears the start line beam. Now as there is exactly 4 tenths of a second between lights, it then follows that a "perfect light" will be four tenths of a second - meaning that the vehicle has cleared the stage beam at exactly the same time as the green light came on. This is shown on the time slip as .400. Anything less than this means that you left too early and red lighted (fouled) and any more than this is wasted time sitting at the start line.

Hey mate how are you? I went last week and got a pb of 14.5 95.68mph. For a na six au taxi wagon..I was stoked!!

Btw I didnt know the darn gauge was faulty on the night ..I am sorry:(

Also wsid do have the best timers and they also register red light breakouts.It was not a breakout.

HEHEH Its not too bad .i did 90% of the work myself and had Croydon racing tune it. It isnt running 100% as it needs the diff gears and a few things I have touched retuned. I would love to run a 13 na but thats another story.

Good luck in 3 weeks mate:)
