SAU should run a drag day again.

Lets all go

Put me down for any race 4 real in October as a definite.

Will the drag strip be open by October?

Yass I'll come in the Tiguan, run a 12s pass again then get it towed to VW for a blown water pump or cracked thermostat housing again ?

I’m yet to see any videos of your car light it up, come step to the plate ; )

Ring me when you have trapped 140mph+

For starters, you don't have a 9 second GT-R, nor do you have a dyno sheet....lol

I think it should be an SAU roll racing day, the reality is it's much more gentle on the car....than the typical SAU circuit day.

With our vehicles becoming collectible anyone belting them on a track is out of their mind tbh.

Lol. Wheres your time slip?

Well I'm stoked to see the car out and about being used, well done. 

Glad it didn't blow a box and as you said roll racing is more gentle, being mechanically sympathetic will help, good fluid etc etc it all helps. I've always liked the saying, the candle the burns twice as bright lasts half as long so while it's great it didn't fail, it has done barely any k's under load and down this way my experience has been they fail under track conditions just because it's harder and the loads are sustained for longer.

It will fail at some point, everything mechanical does, and it won't be a surprise or a big deal because it's simply out of spec and we are all constantly pushing shit out of spec then replacing those weak links, get as much enjoyment out of it as you can until that point I reckon. 

How are you finding the power delivery and general driving experience vs the GT-R? I've always found that everything feels a bit more raw in a Silvia, GT-R puts down and utilises power so differently - I think that's where the comments come from GTR people saying you need at least 400 or 500kw or what ever power to make a GT-R fun, because they are deceptively good at harnessing greater power levels.

Heard it was neck to neck with Koval in your S15

I'm sad an Evo won the event TBH.

Why? Good on him. He deserves it. If anyone has been chasing it and keeping the dream alive its that guy. Good on him.

A man is not his car. 

I said nothing about the driver.

Sounds fair, although it seems that everyone cheats at roll racing, getting on well before the line in some cases.

I suppose it is better than hitting it down the local off ramp or main road.

Sign me up

Meanwhile.... you don't have to "beat on" a car at the drags to have fun, limiter launches are not required to get a good representative time and trap.

Whilst the Nissans are becoming collectable, and worth some coin, they are not made of glass.

Get out there, I want to smoke some Nisans in my Bogan Cruise Ship.

And the worst ones for jumping are the people in the really fast car or in super cars (lambo, Porsche etc)

Let's race, VB vs. Hoegaarden

[acsplit]

I have seen this a few times now, do you not get penalized for jumping?

Otherwise I guess it is the potato olympics

[r32-25t]

On the knock out rounds you do but not during the free runs 

[acsplit]

Makes sense.

Pff, the ones out of their minds are the ones parking their S15 up in a Carcoon in a shed somewhere and pretending it is a Sandman. I kind of loath the direction our cars are going in, because it is the opposite of what made them popular in the first place. In 10 years time, track days are going to consist of a field of VW Polos and Hyundai I30's, because 95% of people with a 90's performance car will be too scared to use it. Those 5% that will still be out there - you're the real MVP's.
