i found that when i lauched car with bigger burnouts on street tyres i had better 60ft times. sometimes it is quicker to lauch car off idle and get no wheel spin then to rev it up.i use to let my tyre pressure down to about 18psi. and one of the best tricks is to cool your car down. soon as u are on return road pop your bonnet to help cool car down and let it rest instead of racing on hot motor but i guess on a sat night u have to queue for ages andyway

your right about the intake temps VLT87, on my last run I was watching manifold air temp rise over 55 degrees before start then drop tob below 35 before end of track. I had to wait on start line for a few minutes idlling while they cleaned up the car in front of me that blew. my tyres were around 34psi, trouble is you cant get any traction without an LSD, first run tyre started spinning as car came onto boost at about 50km/h. I didnt even try to stall it up.
hopefully getting an LSD soon
If we can get a few more people to come i will be there. Im not taking the exhaust off anymore either because it will be a prick to do (checked on the weekend).
UUMMM yeah i will be there if we get a bit more interest.

Alrighty i've been reading this topic for a while, but stayed out, cos my car is crap, but now i'm interested.
I read that Willowbank are doing renovations so this is probably the last street meet, or any drag racing thats going to happen for awhile.
So my questions are:
Is this really the last chance to race for the year? :?:
How much? because i can't be bothered looking for the previous post
Will i get a chance to race? or will i only do 1 crap run & just sit in the pits for the rest of the night? :?
Who can arrange a tow truck when i have a massive lean out and kill my engine? j/k :P

$28 to race, admit driver & 1 crew member.
Willowbank were sposed to be renovating sometime at the end of this year yes, no idea when the last meet etc is though.
Yes, u will get a chance to run. I got in 7 runs on the willowbank cruise, on a saturday....and that was taking an hour break in the middle to grab food & spectate.
As Steve said, its $28 to run and that gets 1 crew member in with you.
Willowbank are doin renovations to the track for all of October, the track will re-open on the 2nd of November with another test and tune event on. So this isn't your last chance for the year, but is your last chance for a while with only 3 more events before the track closing.
You should get a few runs in, i mean last time we went, Jay got about 10 runs or something in.
I only got 2 runs in but then thats cos i left early... just make sure you get there right on 4pm.
Thanx fellas!
Ar fwark 4pm, i'll be playing soccer right at that moment :x.
I would really like to go, damn it i can't decide.
Maybe i'll just turn up to watch a bit later. I am a bit afraid of frying the engine.
ok guys... ROLL CALL...
Anyone goin?
I'll be there in the VS to give it a good running and try a few different things. I can only hang around till about 7:30 though, gotta get back to see the missus...
Should get a few runs in though.
Dale, you comin? or Lobe Grinder?
Ah i'm sorry dude, i got my car back from the mechanic just today and now its got all sorts of problems. I was really keen to go have a run.
But now my car idles incredibly high, or erratically, overheats, pings, overadvanced in timing, and out of tune.
Now i'm afraid to drive the thing! So much for experimentation. :?
