Drag Dates 2012 So Far

[sky30]

When does the lease run out?

[ECR-033]

Just got a message back from Rino, the harness and tail shaft loop only apply to cars doing sub 12's.

[JETURBO]

Thats weird got this out the andra hand book

Cars

Faster than 13.00

(1/4)

8.30 (1/8)

Tailshaft Loop

Driveline

Where a cross member is not in the vicinity

of the front universal joint,

a tailshaft loop is required on supercharged

street vehicles (turboed and nitrous and all

rear wheel drive competition cars quicker

than 13.00 (1/4 mile) / 8.30 (1/8 mile)

Page 207

Maybe the harness is sub 12.00 now ?

Andra said the would make a judgement by today maybe they have given one second grace on the harness?

[ECR-033]

Ok i didnt read that. i just looked through the entry form and it doesnt say about the tail shaft loop, soI messaged him last night and asked if any car faster than 12.99 needs a harness and loop, he replies with "only cars faster than 11.99." still a pain for me as i want to get in the 11', so i might try mock something up and see how i go.

[JETURBO]

This is the issue a mock loop will get a worse response than no loop i reckn

On a up side a loop new from outlaws is $40 and a 4 point harness ( rci ) is $120

[ECR-033]

yeah i just gave them a call, going to pick them up tomorrow. I thought they would be more than that for some reason.

All this and i probably wont even make it into the 11's anyway haha

[JETURBO]

so lads after all the crap about andra rules the officials have decided to let this last one slip aparently but next meet is all guns blazing

got 4 runs in today

and yes i finally made the 10 second club and the 130+ mph club

10.97 @ 131.7

BRUCE HEINRICH PERFORMANCE gets big thanks for all his work

[Nightcrawler]

Wow congrats Jet - 10.anything is bloody awesome out of an Aus-made taxi

[JETURBO]

cheers mate its not as easy as it looks but the satisfaction is greater than most would ever understand

taxi reppn hard today 1945kg aswell

but there was a few skylines white r32 silver r33 and that weapon of a 2j soarer from loxton skyblue colour

we had alot of spectator compitition from the drift day at lala but it ment faster circulation of competitors aswell ( quite a small gathering )

[ECR-033]

heard you made a 10, congrats. Fastest i managed today was a 12.5, then decided to break one of the drive shafts

[JETURBO]

gotta hand it to ya mate u were going nuts in the burnouts and ur takeoff's were fair decent to say the least , no wonder it gave up the old shaft lol

[ECR-033]

haha it was hard trying to match the burnout of a big block, but i gave it a decent go. Them tyres have smashed a gearbox and now a shaft, wonder whats next.

officials said ( unoficially ) we will let this meeting run like last meets so no bringing the rule book in ..............but its a big warning that next meet WILL be at andra spec/rules

i didnt get spoken to all day alot of others had a hasstle free day aswell , i think we all got lucky and next time just have to be prepaired

[sky30]

I heard of people getting kicked out for 10 sec passes in previous meets this year. ??

[JETURBO]

Yeh this has happened in the past

From now on iam fairly sure 10's require a half cage

Oh well time to play by the rule book

[jet pwr]

bolt in half cage will allow you down to a 10.0

will need harness also and if over 140mph is chute
