looks like an awesome day, shame I couldn't make it out.

Did you guys get a chance to run on both lanes?

I swear for some reason I'd always get 0.1 quicker runs out of wynn's lane compared to rocket lol

Yeah drivers could use both lanes

I'm not kidding, 20 mins in and there was hardly anyone lining up! By the time you've got 2 on the start line, then 6 on the return road, the line to pick up timeslips, people with mechanical issues and people who are socialzing with others or having a break (was about 15-20 or so at any given time), the line in staging was SO small!!! I couldnt believe it, if you lined up and ran from the start till the end of the day, there would be NO problem getting in 100 runs.

hmmm....

Is this an SAU scrutineering day or do they still have some wsid staff to do it,

the only reason I stopped going to the wed night drags was because they told me my helmet was too old "it's pre-2007 so doesn't have the right sticker blah blah" I told them where to shove their stickers

Actually, your helmet must be not older than 10 years - or that was what the scrutineer was saying on Sunday.

at one stage I got sick of collecting my timeslips so I just kept going back through the tunnel and then did a u-turn back through and straight to the burnout and start line. I averaged 3 mins between runs :D

That AS/NZS standard has been in place for ages. They stopped accepting the AS/NZ version maybe around 3 years ago, drag racing is too much fun to stop for that reason. Just grab a cheapie from MCAS if its an issue.

Edit: If your helmet meets the other standards like SNELL it should have been ok.

beats me... only know I was told my helmet didn't have the required sticker, my helmet has a snell m2000 sticker on it as well as AS1698

I sort of lost interest in the drags after I sold my GTT anyway

Great day and some nice cars out there!!

Did 9 runs then called it a day as the clutch was telling me to ease up :/

Managed a best of 12.001 @ 116.09mph 60ft 1.748 on my 7th run, so didn't need an andra licence! :D

Nice time.....Did you get a retune with the new acts fitted?

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
