To be fair, Calder was only a street meet, not a race meet which Heathcote was prepped for... and watching Johns mustang on Friday night, it needed a fair bit of sorting leaving the line. the car was bouncing the rear end to about 150 ft out, which was constantly unloading the tyres.

Nah doubt it - Can't see Andra allowing Calder to cheap out on prep for an Andra Sanctioned Street Meet vs a so called Race Prepped Goat Track lol

How can you compare the 2 street meet where he was limited to 10 and only went for it on the last run or a race meet where he had a number of runs flat out.
The rear was clearly bouncing at Calder unhooking the rears. |

Ok lets re-read the thread
Title - A1 Prep 1st Post - How good was Heathcote People put a lot of hate on Heathcote - I am just stating the track prep was A1 Unhooking = loss of traction - not a sticky track I am stating Heathcote is a good track Now twist that anyway you like Ps the 1st post also had the 60 foot times in BOLD lol - maybe next time I will highlight it in yellow

Nobody's putting hate on Heathcote, watching the vid, it shows the first couple of passes he blew the tyres off, so had the time to adjust the tune accordingly.

How about compare apples with apples is all I am saying.
Maybe he made some suspension adjustments as well as tune adjustments. Either way he was free to run flat out and dial in his car at Heathcote. Hey its good to see Heathcote spending the money on track prep, if they keep up the standard they will shrug off the goat track / Heathgoat name. Unhooking - can also = setup needs adjustment Last edited by Giant; 22-11-2013 at 02:21 PM. |

And how on earth is that possible due to so many variables
I was stating how good Heathcote's Track Prep was ![]() And being limited to a 10 is not a restriction for 1TUF65 as he was "free to run it flat out" at Calder in the first 1/8th same as he was at Heathcote although at Heathcote the other 1/8th is just riding it to the line WOT as the launch and change to 2nd has already been done in his 2 speed powerglide in the 1st 1/8th........ Unsure why his "unhooking" issues were not sorted at Calder as he had enough runs to fix it same as he had enough runs at Heathcote to fix it

The track prep was obviously pretty good but trying to use this comparison to prove it is not the right way to go about it unless the conditions for both runs were identical which given the locations is impossible
