Drag Day, Wednesday July 5, during SOO 3

[chris davey]

you have got nothing! I put my spec up on www.dragtimes.com and did some searching.

I have the MPH for a 12 and the 60ft of a 16.0!

[JustCallMeOrlando]

What was your 60ft? My best was a 2.5

[Forcefed6]

well I ran a 12.2@119mph on my first pass, only to have a gearbox failure on my 2nd pass...

My 60ft was 1.86 and 1.99 respectively

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Respect....and damn. What happened?

[RONA]

Thats damn impressive shame about the box, JCMF you need launching tips off him.

[Forcefed6]

Broken input me thinks, but I won't know for sure till I pull it out.

BTW I edited first post with 60ft's

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Haha, indeed. Mine is a case of just needing to stop worrying about the clutch and give that little 2l some big revs to launch on boost.

Still running those Nitto's?

[wilbo666]

Merc, pfft!

Thought he was going to bring out the ma61 of death!

Couple of weeks hey!

WIlbo: buy a spare single spinner and get a CIG locker. Jam it in there, run a 12 and put the single spinner back in!

I don't think it is that simple...

To be honest traction wasn't really and issue, getting it off the line was tho, best 60ft of 2.2xx...(as opposed to the2.09x I ran on my first run ever when the IC pipe blew off!).

I think that I have a boost leak also, just need to find the thing :S...

Maybe when I get it a bit better sorted it'll crack the 12's, but I think 13.2 is more likely...

Cheers
Wilbo

does anyone know the owner of the silver TA? it went like a rocket off the line?

Wilbos said engine was 3TC with a TO4.

[chris davey]

JCMF: Mine was 2.54

Jamie: bad luck about the box mate. Hope you get it fixed soon.

Wilbo: so were you bogging down or what?

Charles: I know nothing about these 3tc's but when I was looking at www.dragtimes.com there was a shitload of cars running 3tc's and running VERY impressive times. I am talking 8's and 9's!!!

With the car as I drove it there 14.96 @149kmh bad launch
After removing spare wheel and muffler 14.745 @150.44kmh 2.113 60ft (I'm so stoked with that run!, prolly not much room for improvement without some more significant mods)
my best 60ft of the night was a 2.097 which I'm real happy with. A great night overall, I had a ball.

Anyone know what was in that Sprinter? I lined it up thinking it would be a good race, then it goes and runs an 11.8 with a 1.7 60ft - looked soooo fast.

I got some short video clips, I'll see if I can upload them.

[chris davey]

Good job on the 14.7!

Would love to see any vids you got

[Robbos_Toyotas]

my 60ft was 2.33

hate to say it, but the AMG is a STOCK 1995 6 cylinder NA....My quickest was a 15.17@ 154km/hr. With 1.23 reaction time (doh!)

Na, in 1900KG worth of car...i was quite impressed.

[adamaw11]

link to a video

mr2vswilbo.mpg

I think I'll see if this works first before uploading the others. They are around 6mb each.

For a side note, that ta22 blew something in the motor later on the nite
