    Default Wednesday 21 May, Test-n-Tune Drag Racing

    Wednesday 21 May is State of Origin round one... so it would be a good time for a Test-n-Tune night

    Gates open at 5pm so we'd suggest being there when the gate opens

    Is at Willowbank Raceway

    $36 inc. driver and a passenger

    You need a helmet with the safety cert sticker intact and neck-to-knee clothing.

    Please drop a note here or on our club forum so we know who is racing and spectating!

    If we're organised, we should be able to get folks racing heads-up instead of random line-ups as per previous.

    cheers,
    Charles.

    Adam, yeah I think there is a TnT on the 3rd one too?

    I'm trying to sort my car out for this (the JZZ12)...

    Writing software for my boost cut thing, then I need to test it etc! Not enough time!

    Cheers

    Better post up my efforts. For those that are a bit confused with my location then have a look at this thread. After dropping the crossmember off and not having anything to do (not really interested in watching the state of origin) I was told that a few guys would be heading out for this.

    Ok, the car in question is a Toyota Aurion AT-X (base model) and felt a bit out of place . At least there were a few Lancers and base Falcons that weren’t exactly fast (16s). I knew it had 200killerwasps but I didn’t think it would break into the 15s – or even pull out a low 15! And with a 1590kg kerb weight, that’s not bad at all. Motor has timed a Sportivo at 14.8 with same section tyres so not much difference comparing times there and Wheels could only manage 15.3!

    Hadn’t given it a good launch before so was guessing – I’m in the right lane for both.
    1st - tried the first with the foot brake but didn’t stall it that much for fear of sliding forward – don’t think it even kicked in traction control.
    2nd - stalled it harder on the foot brake and got a bit of wheelspin/bounce at the start along with flashes of TC all through first.

    One more and I feel I could’ve got it right for a 14 but they packed up early and didn’t have my own helmet didn’t help.

    Thanks to wilbo666 and thechuckster for lending me your helmets.
