Operation Drag Right

[funkymonkey]

fast and the furious styles mang, all we need is to somehow work a drawbridge into cochranes rd.

[Anarkei]

i dunno...i reckon some of the better drivers out there could get through the street pretty easily...

a blind chimp could drive in a straight line...throwing a few bends in would make it more challenging and leave the races open to people who actually are capable of doing it....not every moron and his dog in their rice-mobiles

[inark]

issue with that is its less safe then str8 lines

[TracidTrax]

i still say they should do it the kiwi way...

block off cochranes road moorabbin.... barriers along the sides... no times... just the first to the other end

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

kiwi coppers really do it that way? ye that would be good doing something like that in SE Melb. Calder park is just way too far for me

What about holding drags at sandown?

once a month, no dropping pipes (like easternats rules) so the neighbors don't complain.

just street car's.

[TracidTrax]

is there like a webpage for upcoming events at sandown?

as a few others have said, if they arent using this as a way to defect mass cars in one place, then its a decent idea...but if they have shifty motives behind all of it, then its going to increase street drags, and hate for the police.

In the last 5 years of living in Melbourne, I must have lived under a rock.. I have never seen any illegal 'organised' drag racing.. maybe a couple of spankers in commodores flooring it from the lights (esp around preston).. more spankers doing burnouts on our street.. that's about it.

On that note, you won't see any xr8s doing burnouts @ calder.. on full lock it will be like *crackcrackcrackcrackcrackcrack*.... haha.

dandenong drags......silly...silly stuff

[Paradizzle]

Did anyone go to this? Details please?

[_IrIsH_]

one would think they would defect you and all that out the front.

do they do that now?

i didnt think they did.

but yeah obviously they know that would have a negative effect.

It'd be PR suicide to set up a defect station anywhere near there while the event is on. The police are trying to reach out to the impressionable, not beat them into submission after waving a carrot in front of them.

I will be there, but will be checking for Police checkpoints/checkstations. Let me know guys/girls how it is looking. I will be there VERY soon, not to prove anything, but just to show what my GTS-T can do with only rear wheel traction.

I have had a unofficial run with a passenger, with a stop watch & powerFC controller on lonely smooth, very long & safe road. I know this is not safe, but I will never street race with another car or will I endorse it.

Anyway - Results-?

11.26 seconds 0-400m 285RWKW@19psi The PowerFC gives your speed, but I can't remember as I wasn't looking. I will check it tomorrow. I do however know what I speed I got up to before releasing the pedal - 247km/hr, & it still had more.

when I get to the track????? Hopefully faster, but not likely becasue of nerves.

I don't know, I will have more power & no NOS yet, but I think that is very impressive (first ever run with the GTS-T), however I am no stanger with other cars on the dragstrip from years ago.

Even though it was a stopwatch job. But you never know.

Hope to see some of you soon, & don't worry I am not waiting now for the paintjob, I will run the car very, very soon.

Cheers

Chris
