There are street drags this saturday night at Adelaide International Raceway. Just wondering if anyone from here is going? I want to try and crack a 13.7 from my XR6T as last time I didn't get as many runs as I wanted to and never got a 100% perfect launch becuase I didn't find the best stall point..
I am still contemplating whether to compete or not.. Its so much fun but I just cleaned all the rubber out of my guards from last time! :alien2: LEGAL OFF-STREET DRAG RACING Saturday April 2nd 2005 Starts 4p.m. Finishes 10.30p.m. Ticket Prices $50.00 Competitors $25.00 Junior Dragster $17.00 Spectators $12.00 Concession Children under 13 Free if accompanied by an adult Last edited by BA GT-HO; 30-03-2005 at 03:01 PM. |

Yes a dust storm was not what I thought would happen. Pretty bad to only get 2 runs in and have to go home..

It was not the best of days/nights.... Got out there it was blowing a gale with all cars going into a headwind and temperature of about 33. Only managed 2 runs and a dust storm came in about 6-45pm....people were actually running to shelter it was that bad. By the time the storm hit and me shutting my window was about 30 seconds but it was enough time to cover the inside of the car with dust. I did the 1st run (my first ever) 14.4 @102mph 60' of 2.4!!!....big wheel spin and hit the limiter in 1st so that was it.. Simon did the 2nd run....13.45 @105mph but his 60' was crap compared to last time when he did 1.8. Last night his 60' was 2.1. Air temp on the slip showed 33. It was only 10 minutes after the 2nd run that the storm hit....waited for about an hour for them to start racing again and then decided to call it a night. Bit disappointing. Cheers Brad

That was crazy weather out there!!
hung around for a while but it didnt look like racing was going to start again, would have taken a while to clean all the dust off the track. with that mph you will be in the 12's if you can get it off the mark well. |

Well I went pretty crap.
14.5 @ 96MPH due to not stalling it up and backing off before the line (sun in eyes lines and crap everywhere!) still stupid mistake. then 14.00 @ 100MPH when it was still 34 degrees. Spewing as I know there was a 13 for the taking but got unlucky with the weather.. |
