Drag Combat Aftermath

[Gav]

And yes TJ i did get membership number 069 ..... its all mine :elaugh:

OK - I reserve number 68

That's where Niz gives me a HJ and I owe her one! :aroused:

I think it is commendable that C-RED. Hyperdrive, SST and Ovaboost represented some of the import performance scene.

Where was Speedworks, Xspeed, ETC? Im a little unimpressed with the lack off support.

The speedworks silvia is being leased for this years race season, so taking it down to the drags and running the risk of breaking something a week before a race meet isn't an option..

Always next time..

Glad to see if appears everyone had fun.

IMACUL8, It was such as rush to just get the car back on the road, and organise Drag Combat that I didn't have time to buy/organise drag slicks, but not to fear, will have a set very soon, then I think the times will fall a bit;)

I had a great time watching, i only wish i had my scorpion/starion going so i could join in. Look out next year guys i might run a 15

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Ash, I'm sure your car will be plenty quick, and hope you'll join us next year, but not in that Monaro shirt:p

[kingscorp]

I might wear my Ford shirt next year and if Steve dosen't punch me in the head then I will wear the Subaru shirt in 2006. I think i will be asking for it then :box:

What times did you run, your pushing big power now aren't you?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Buster, Not big power at the moment, as it appears the pre-pump has failed, so I only had 370rwhp for the day. Best was 13.001, which is all due to traction issues, but I'll remedy that soon:D

surely you have more then one worksop car, or at least two customer cars willing to come down to the event? Ken didnt put in a trader display yet was down all day having a friendly chat to all, me included.

Not being rude, but ppl bitch so much when events like this fail, yet its their own lack of support which makes them fail.

Dude,

If you knew anything about the cars that supposed to be Ovaboost then you wouldnt have make the comment above. Ask who did Nathan's car and the R34 GTR. I think it'll open your eyes. They are Xspeed cars. I was also there for Xspeed workshop.

[RB20LagWagon]

The events in perth are always under populated by quick workshop cars, i wonder why they build workshop cars, if they dont display them at one of the only performance events. Geeze even dyno comps get better turn outs. Thank god for the backyarder i recon.

[IMACUL8]

RB20LagWagon - agreed.

And the backyarder car kicked ass, those fugly little bucket mazdas and old school datos were AWESOME - pulling 11's easily - Loved to watch them.

Go the rotor.

Lots of Perth Workshops build cars with theoretical power outputs that if they make a run down the strip, or appear on a Shootout equipped dyno will be found to be false. Lots of people accused GTAAH of that after Cabin last year, but we backed it up this year.

Dude, As if I dont know where these cars came from , or thier history's. I know Nathan well enough to know. Its not the point. I dont care who built them. Ovaboost put in a effort to have several cars there as a organised display, and went out and raced hard. Asides from alot of "secret sports" stickers on various cars, I didnt see a real Xspeed precense. Was Hanson there? Ken didnt have a display, yet came and spent the day talking and socialising. Jash put in 4 cars, SST in the form of Steve and Ant where there all day talking and racing - hell Ant broke his box, went home , fitted another, then returned. Thats committment to the scene. And in the end of the day - no scene, no business for anyone, right?

So they/you dont have enough confidence in your own work, that if you take it down the strip or on the dyno it wont succeed? Why even try then? I dont get the reason to create these cars then, cept for a shiney photo and blurb in a magazine. That said though, well done on the times on the weekend, nice tyres.

Immacul8 funny you said that about go the rotor, thats what ill be doing.

Cheers

I would of loved to be there flying the antilag.com flag and SST(if steve would of allowed it). I find the excuse of road tyres to be somewhat moot as far as I recall GOTBOOST was running on Nitto's and still did amazing times with a fantastic hook up..

[sileighty]

hey all...

had a great time... just couldnt break into the 13's... oh well hopfully next time should be able to do it easy....

now.. bring on the stroker and the nos

[sileighty]

someone to remind me to get the tacho working too next time please... pretty hard to guess through hearing the engine noise alone.

[tomj]
