Lots of fun, get to do burnouts and have a great day racing.

Fair enough but it would give a false indication as to who's car is quicker over a 1/4 Some cars peak earlier than others... Dont you guys have a close 1/4 mile near you guys???

it is a race over the 1/8 mile, so really you can't go saying that my car would be quicker than another over the 1/4, as you have said. I travelled 4 hours to go to that meet! I had never draged b4 so it was good to have fun and get experience. and I live an hour away from Calder. I am not sure if sale or other country towns have a 1/4.

The 1/8th is a great track, if you use an acceleration graph you can judge a 1/4 time fairly closely!

The reason why i say that Kingyvl is because i have to hit 4th gear (manual vlt) before i cross the line over the 1/4 and thats when i lose races Ive led all the way then got no choice but to hit 4th then only just get pipped! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
