I drove my car home as healthy as it was when I got there. Now that's a success for me.

On the timing side of things it wasn't so great 12.9 at 113MPH. I need to work on getting more traction.

Same which I'm happy with, first time out had fun, good relaxed night and I got into the 14's eventually woot.

[BlackSupra]

what time did you run?

[RONA]

what time did you run?

14.787 at 150..kmph, its dieing in the arse in third across the line needs more top end hehe. Next time I go i'll try dropping into 4th earlier to see if its any different.

2.201 Second 60 foot finally got the launch right

[-GT-]

Yeah, but did you rip mad skidz before each run???

I predicted right, left the office a little after 8pm. I did think of you guys out there a couple of times, i hope you were freezing your arses off, cause that's about the only thing i had on you.

Anybody else happy with how they ran? And any photos/videos?

[RONA]

-GT- see the drag racing supra thread for more details on my runs. Mixed bag of burnouts no burnout etc. It doesn't get much wheelspin of the line on the street so there wasn't much point bagging them up.

Just dump it in first to get the shit off the tyres. Was running 35psi in the rears hehe.

[-GT-]

Yeah, just read that. Nice work getting into the 14s.

I had a great night out there too, even though I only got 3 runs in....
My first 2 runs were 13.7 @ 102 and 13.6 @ 103, so for the last one I pulled the 2 wheels & bunch of tools out of the boot, wound up the boost, and most importantly, switched the ECT button to POWAHZ!
Which resulted in a 13.210 @ 105MPH, with a 2.038 60' time. Stoked!!!

I'm sure there's a little more in it, but 3 runs just wasn't enough to to get me into the groove, but hey I beat the white cressys previous best so the shift kit & 2800rpm stall convertor paid off. It certainly seemed to get off the line pretty good.

More importantly (well, sort of just somehow) nothing is broken & I should be able to make the drive home to Adelaide on schedule, yay....

Congrats to everyone who got out there & had fun, there were a few Toymods Drag Racing noobs who did us all proud! I have some pics here courtesy of Adam Rolla, I'll get them up at some stage today.....

how did the soarers go??

[RONA]

how did the soarers go??

There is no plural in that well not for toymodders anyway it was running 15.9 i think.

[GU11TY]

ah ok
i thought quicker for a 7m but i guess wait till next tym

[RONA]

Auto plus female driver, jokes Crystal just didn't know how to stall it up.

[GU11TY]

hehe oh well 1dt time i went out there i got 16.2 in my soarer
so u just have to get used to the atmosphere
next tym i went i got 14.7 by just winding up boost

[Alchemist]

Rona...

Fark, 14.7, that's certainly given me a target to aim that, that's not all that far behind Glens old Supra either with was 14.62 I think.

I get the same 60' as you, usually 2.2 something, I dunno, just havn't been able to crack the 15's, 15.0 is my best at the moment.

Car "should" be fixed this afternoon, if it stays "fixed" I'll go out in a few weeks and see how she goes. If I can get 14.9 I'll be very happy.

[RONA]

I noticed your top speed is almost the same as mine too on your slip, how are your gear changes, you might be losing time on them. PS did I mention I love my short shift kit hehe.
