Default 19/10/07 - Calder Street Drags

Well I am not even in the state, but I am excited as the drags are finally on after being called off for what seems like forever.

More excited because from what Ive been reading CSV_LS1 and his F6 will be able to run with boost off the line now, is that right?

Anyway, thought I would start a thread for people that are going and feedback from the night :

Yep I got the sms about 2pm saying it was on ... I want to go but I have my car off the road for the next set of mods to be finished ...

Who ever goes tell us what you thought of the track .. if it was good prep or not.

Went for a couple of runs. Dissappointed couldn't crack below 14. Managed one flat 14 and the rest absolute cr@p. Not the tracks fault, I gapped my plugs to 1.5mm (usually 1.3mm) to see if it made any difference and I'm not getting the MPHs that I was when it was 1.3mm. Just thought I'd experiment.

Calder has fixed up the return track and parking lot. Its great now....no more pot holes.

That was my car and we managed 11.3 on my street tune, have a problem with my flash box as it wouldn't upload my race tune, either that or my file is corrupt.
After waiting 5 weeks to try a new tune the bugger wouldn't load..
