Hopefully that should spread the crowd out a bit more, and we can get a few more runs in then.

Another thing that would be good to see is a Saturday night meeting similar to the ones held in the US, to give the guy's at the illegal runs somewhere to go. i think the ones over there are just 1/8th mile, which may be easier to control, and I think that it could actually be a profitable venture for them as well considering the numbers racing on the street now.

Jeff.

Jeff,

Brett and I ran the first run @ 6:46pm, 2nd @ 8:08pm, 3rd @ 9:11pm and 4th @ 9:55pm.

4 runs in one night with just over 3 hours racing total and down to one lane for half an hour. Very impressive!

Yeah, was great. I got 4 runs in too and unlike you guys I wasn't the first in stage :)

I imagine that without the 1 and a half hour + rain delay we may well have got 5 runs.

Am I right in saying that there was only the one blow up? (the 180)

For those that care I ran:

best ET 13.4, 6ft 1.82, mph 100 (pulsar GTI-R, first ever drag attempt).

You will love the new track Jeff, it's awesome comming out through the tunnel into the ampitheatre!

From a spectators p.o.v the cars were moving through much quicker than the old track.

I do believe that being the first night opened and also with the threat of rain that many people would have stayed away.

Yeah, the staging and stuff all seemed to be working pretty smoothly.

Also, you're right some people (pussies mainly) may have stayed away due to the convenient excuse provided by the rain! j/k :wassup:

11.18 @ 128mph thats on full slicks though.

So Brett is doing 128 on Nitto's? Would love to see if the other driver/car could replicate that feat on Radials. I'm guessing Brett's car is running more like 482hp, not 500. lol ;-)

Adrian

well, i would be happy with 482 rwhp. Im not too far off lol only like 100+rwhp (im being sarcastic here). We'll see how much soon at our dyno day happening up here in QLD. If i get over 125mph i would be happy. With some more boost i should do it. In its current tune i think 124mph is max. We'll see once i head out again some time in the future if i dont sell it. After all this shit i went through i aint to happy.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
