WSID street meeting Wed 11th Aug

[DoughBoy]

Battle of the Whales! Hopefully should be some mid 11 second runs, with the runner-up hosting a night at the casino!

Four doors weigh more!

[B-Man]

So come on guys - spill. How did everyone go ?

Who ran 11s ? It was a freaking cold night - should have helped heaps

[DoughBoy]

I didn't end up going. The event was cancelled, no-body went.

[nv033]

it seemed like a terrible night for all....with chris recording a 12.3 at 120mph pretty much taking the cake..... we were all hunting that elusive 11sec barrier....but thats what drag racing is all about i guess...

4 doors do weigh more but it seems to be able to do burnouts and have better 60fts :headspin: :headspin:

on a more serious note i would like to commend everyone that rushed to get my car ready the night before the meet.... although my whole day was a mess..starting with butterflies and excitiment....to when i passed scruteneering and decided to put the BF radials on and find out they wouldn't clear my rear calipers :flamed: :flamed: ...

moving on at about 9pm bu-five-ta and doughy were kind enough to lend me there nittos...this brought a bit of excitement back into the night.... on the one run i had i did a 12.5 at 113mph with 1.96 60ft... it was nice to get a solid pass under me belt...then i snuck around for another pass...while staging i faulted....that was the start of the end :headspin: :headspin: knowing the nittos were nice and warm...hahahhaha i dropped it well in the red zone.... :headspin: :headspin: my clutch felt the :flamed: :flamed: ... what a night!!!

[Merli]

I didn't end up going. The event was cancelled, no-body went.

[nv033]

oops forgot to thank the comedians dumb and dumber....(chris + andrew) for crushing me into a thousand pieces ahahahahhah funny farks...revenge is sweet

[Merli]

HAHAHAHA!!!

It was Brett's idea to start with, and then Chris carried it out whilst Bu-five-ter ran away

I had no part in the shenanigans!!! :Oops:

[DoughBoy]

Hahaha Brett was the moral crusader and didn't want a part of it, the time came from Merli saying you ran it (it was the celica before you?). In my defence I'll say I had burnout and launch envy, the launch on the second run was pretty solid - you could hear the tyres rip!

[2rismo]

Bo was the king of last night. 1.4 60' and a 45deg wheelstand launch. Can't wait to see the photos this afternoon.

Burnouts next time please gentlemen! Don't be afraid of the brake-job.

it was a great night as we all got out there and helped each other out, awesome effort guys

the launch did rip alright...all the way into the twin OS ......... its a coincidence after i take two...illl be needing one and u dont have one....drag racing sux!!! to much $$$$ required

[benm]

drag racing sux!!! to much $$$$ required

Try circuit racing then which is considerably more than a 400m stretch

I've driven away from each of my ~40 drag runs without an issue at all. With circuit racing my avg is ~$2k damage per/trackday

[B-Man]

With a modified car , I reckon drags is more costly than circuit......

BTW - yous are all poofs for 'cancelling' the meet.

POST TIME YOU POOFS !! ! ! ! !

[2rismo]

12-something for both of em.

Adrian

[B-Man]

1.4 60 ft - I am dreaming of that ....

more practise needed - I'll be back out there soon

[BU5TER]

circuit is harder on the car from what I've read, 10-15 sec of full boost compared to how long with circuit?

[B-Man]

I guess it depends - drag is def. harder on the clutch, gearbox & driveline.

[Duncan]

:upurs:

but its worth it because unlike drag racing,

ITS FUN

[2rismo]

You homo......erectus.

Adrian

[B-Man]

Drunkan they are both fun -

Different YES

Fun - Yes

All good !

Just you can't do a burnout
