yeah fair point......alot of streets are shorter though lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

But they do not get up to the same speed(althrough a lot of them claim they do )If they go on the track the numbers always prove them wrong. Timeing slip always proves it! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I wouldn't go the NSDW drags this Friday if I was you. You will be very lonely. lol. There is a 3 week break this time and the next NSDWs is Friday, Dec 11th. I am planning on being there and racing just for the fun of it as the Spring points series finishes with that one and I missed the first two.

lonely haha was thinking of giving the wag a run to just for sh.its and giggles Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cheers Marty Yeh, if I go much quicker they will tell me not to come back without a cage. Officially you need a cage, transmission shield and driveshaft loops to do 10s. That why I'm rapt with Powercruise as I can now tweek the car some more and start making some serious power for next years Powercruise events without the hassels. The engine is fully built so can take the extra power. My Supra is still my daily driver and I want to keep it that way. The clutch is a TRD single plate with a +50% ACT pressure plate. Still very slippable just like stock and with a clutch booster on it, the pressure is similar as well. I always run BP 98 with Nulon Octane boost added for the strip. cheers Kevin Quote: Originally Posted by NZ_BT1 As you can see the car squats very nicely when launching.

Go to the members page and choose Kevin. I have also done an article on the racing I did at Powercruise which is at http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/articles/powercruise2009.htm Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

good write up -I notice you lined up in the same lane for every race, On purpose or just where you ended up ?

Being RHD it kept me close to the Starter and made him easier to see but more important I knew how much revs I could drop the clutch at for each launch in that lane after trying different revs in the first two races. I also dropped my tire pressures as the races progressed when I realised that I didn't need them so high. I started at 15psi for the first race, 14 psi for the 2nd and then 13 psi for the rest of the races. The right lane also looked like it may have had a bit of water lying in the trough so I didn't want to get my tires damp. All just little things but they can make the difference between winning and losing.

ok lol,i will have to take gearbox out before i run,funny noise coming out of clutch i think,and get the rev limit up higher as well,then hope for a low 12
