ha gutted,would have raised a few eye brows,spech mr plods....!

should of seen the skyline he was up against the skyline didnt know what hit him . . . all these arabs stood round a bit shocked haha . . . i think the skyline got him in the last 50meters or so but psiwpn was wheel spinning most of the track then he coasted the last of the track ---------- Post added 25-07-10 at 18:04 ---------- bit of a ****ty video sorry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw9G8uyIybE Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If they haven't VHTeed the drag strip in a while it's as slippery as buggery. We ran some cars down there a while back for work, our 0-100s were over a second better starting from half way down the strip!

yep its crap aaron,they need to demolish the track,its built on swamp land and it sinks,there is a big dip in the track at about 2/3 down,its lethal,supprised more cars havnt crashd there!!!!!!!

aussie VHT the whole track dont they??????

Guys the Track for the winter drags are not prepped at all, I have personally been involved with track prep at meremere and during the season the track is sprayed all the way with VHT and rubbered too, I know what it feels like to turn up at the track and have heaps of horsepower and think the car is going to run 11 sec 1/4 mile times straight away. but in reality its just not like that. The best things you can take away from your time at the track last weekend is this: - you now have done it and can only get better and faster - What were your reaction times and 60 foot times? improve these and your ET will improve hugely - What slicks you using? if they were a full drag slick then you should have also had front runner tyres on the front -every part of your vechile needs to work at 100% to have a great run, so if the clutch is slipping then you on the back foot. Mate when it all comes together and you have a great trouble free run you cant beat the feeling, it will happen for you in time. Cheers Kris

yeah thanks man i knew it wasnt going to go that good but i didnt think it would be as bad as it was. for now im going to focus on getting the car painted and latter on ill give it another go with some fresh slicks and sort a few other problems ive found. im just glad its still in one piece , thats about as close as i want to get to the wall

Dont leave it to long before you get back to the track, try one of the summer series meetings when the track is prepped

yeah man . ive been speaking to a few people about what went wrong and working out what needs to be changed so yeah ill go away and make some changes and hopefully be back in summer time with the goods

Updated the first post with some of the times from the summer drag wars

My PB was 14.539 @ 158.81 Kmh All motor, base tune, street tyres. Interesting event, a whole mash up of RT's, ET's, 60 foot times throughout my seven passes. Ridiculous good fun though! ---------- Post added 04-12-10 at 19:14 ---------- And just for fun I've managed to find slips from my car at nightspeed 29/11/2002. 17.350 @ 127 Kmh Stock RB30E, non-lsd... Funny thing is, last night I was running the exact same tyres as back in 2002 (the car doesn't do mega KM). Probably time for some fresh rubber me thinks.

good to see some new times added to the list , think its about time i got my act together and try get a new time for this new car

me thinks this needs an update Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

As you wish Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Night wars on this Friday lets see some PBs get smashed I'll be there to take some vids
