Hi guys, does anyone have some numbers from yesterday's meeting? I know GTR-700 ran a 8.44(?) on E/T slicks, were there any other Skyline or notable times?

What was your general impression of the event? After getting there at 2:30pm I only had a few hours before I had to leave. Was pretty p'd off that they had a 2 hour break from 3-5pm...

2rismo went from a 13.471 -> 13.041sec with the help of some naws :wassup:

The event as a whole I thought was extremely disappointing and certainly not worth $30 considering that the week before (Summer Nationals) I paid an extra $5 and seen an -entire- day of real professional drag cars.

I won't be going back for the 4th and final round thats for sure, i'll stick to the Wed nite street meets for half the price for my drag racing entertainment.

Benny and I caught up at the end of the night and had a bit of a bitch/review of the situation.

With the $30 entry fee they gave you a free magazine, which was a good idea as the were massive delays and the magazine was read cover to cover. I got there at about 5 and there was not a single run to at least 6.15. As ben said the street meets were run alot better.

But bear in mind fellas that this was there first shot at it at the new strip and in sydney so like the shows they will hopefully get better. I remember going to the first Autosalon (showing my age) at the horden pav and it was shit but now look at the series, its international. Even though the cars aren't always my cup of tea the shows are entertaining.

oh yeah 2rismo i caught a couple of your runs, very impressive mate.

Thanks for the comments guys... The event definitely could of been run a lot better...

YRL05S, if you got there late you wouldve seen the 13.0 and 13.1. Will be much better in the near with tyres that arent as hard as rocks!#@$#@$!#$

115mph should be more like 12.0 - 12.5 not 13.0 !!!

"DRAGTS" - Dude, I would seriously consider getting the Power FC tuned before anything else. But cheap tyres? I am ALWAYS Listening when someone says that.

I want BF Comp TA's!!!!! NOW NOW NOW!!!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
