what a long day :D

well i finally popped my drag cherry with a first ever run of 13.338 @ 101.35 mph

it just went down hill after that, because i took it easy on the first run, i decided to go hard on the second, flooded my motor in the burnout and fouled the plugs. the result was a sixteen something. we put new plugs in it in the carpark, but the motor was running like a dog (it wouldn't rev out properly), with another sixteen something on the third run. i decided that was enough, because i still had a 3 hour drive home in the poor thing.

next will be a tune (the motor has 3,800 k's on it and has never been tuned), then look out i will be back !!!

a few things that suprised me on the day were lack of organisation of the scruntineering and instructions for a newbie, and the amount of traction i had with street tyres !!! there is plenty of rubber on the start line :D

big ups to r33vit and benm for having a chat between runs (i thought it was nearly an hour between runs).

good to meet a few new guys :headspin:

and Bu5ter, our auto's will own everybody :)

:D

I don't think anyone had any real luck yesterday, someone please post up they didn't have any problems and ran a personal best!

There must have been something like 200+ cars there, all the staging lanes were filled + there was the line going all the way around the carpark.. didn't someone say the street meetings are empty? :D

Once again, the SAU people made the event fun. Thanks guys!

I think it was because of the long weekend Chris... Hope to have a new clutch and flywheel B4 the next meeting...

I had set up a water injection kit over my intercooler which blew a hose off on the first run... (rush jobs never work) Will fix it and see if there is any diffrence with this running.. I know BOOSTD run 107-108 mph all night without injection and then 112mph with

I will post my findings once I have used it

Well that was my last Drag Racing for awhile (doing nite shift at work now) and boy was it fun NOT !!

My tyres were dead after the last Wakefield trackday so I knew that traction was non-existent, actually ever since I got the Ex Cam Gear installed (more torque) traction has been a problem. Think i'm gonna have to get some 255's before I go back otherwise I'm just wasting my time. Still rattling off the 2.1's and 100mph passes just can't string everything else inbetween together to get that 13.x pass.

Gave Buster a run in my car for the last run of the day just for shits n giggles, he managed a 14.7@100mph :D I'm sure he had his eyes shut too after being used to 11sec passes in his car.

Ahh well if all goes to plan i'll be in a totally different car the next time i'm at the drags :D
