Sau Vic Wins Tri Club Drag Challenge


Recommended Posts

A fabulous day yesterday at Heathcote Raceway saw SAU Victoria take out the inaugural Tri Club Drag Challenge.

The day pitted SAU Vic against the WRX and US Muscle Clubs to see who was fastest down the 1/4 mile.

The day was covered by My Drive and 2 of our members Russell Cunningham and Luke Schulze were picked out of the crowd to be interviewed for the show.

Huge congrats goes to Luke Schulze (NUTR33) for taking out the honours for the day with a 10.9 second pass.

Russell,I'm fairly sure you've passed Tony now for number of dead drive shafts!!!

Was great to catch up with everyone - cheers to all who came along to make it enjoyable :)

Im sure there will be pics/video to come - and be sure to stay tuned for an annoucement on when the footage will be aired on TV.

Thanks to Bec for being the SAU-VIC organiser :) (I think WRX club have some trophies for you to distribute - to the Blue GTR owner- Best Skyline in SnS & Fastest GTR)

All I can say is WOW... HE DID IT! Emotions have been a bit haywire since & I was very a proud wifey. Breaking into the 10's has been a dream for ages, and now its a reality.... so bring on some more tweaks and mid/low 10's? :whistling:

Congrats to Leon on the cool burnout at the end of the day on the pan & Sorry that Russ broke a couple of drive shafts, but glad he managed to get them replaced & get back out there on some slicks and have some fun!

I'd love to see any more footage/pics fo Lukes car if anyone has any?

Here's the 10.9 pass from my perspective:

See you all at DECA in a few weeks! :cheers:

I have some pics on my facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/?set=a.10151289197785593.804411.800850592&type=1

but not many.

I have to filter through the video of the day & once I have given it to respective owners I will post on youtube if they want.

Thanks to the organisers and WRX club, the day was run well and lots of fun.

Thanks everyone for the congrats

It took a bit to break into the 10s, but well worth the effort.

Its now time for E85 and some more boost, and hopefully a low 10.

Any new videos we get of the day we will upload to youtube, just search nutr33

Cheers

Was good to catch up Leigh - even if you were "batting for the other team" :)

How'd you end up going??

haha I know Bec its been ages! hey I was still battling for SAU! just in a falcon :nyaanyaa:

Ended up getting a 12.73 @ 110mph pretty happy with that.

Leon did great in the burnout comp, I assume he ended up winning the trophy? I left just before presentations

Thats a bit of a sore point "Sorry guys... I dont know about the burnouts on the back pad but this trophy is for best burnout out here warming up tyres" or something like that :/

Told him I will make him a trophy because it was a good show, and he broke stuff so he deserved a trophy!

i am the owner of the blue gtr.

weather wasnt the best with the heat and wind against the strip, but i had my little water sprayer going all day haha

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
