tinyplums Member 1,080 Member For: 16y 1m 21d Gender: Male Posted 10/03/11 04:45 AM Share Posted 10/03/11 04:45 AM What's involved in hiring out the plex for private use on a Saturday? With enough people it wouldn't be expensive & you don't need to worry about the 11 second rule. pretty sure it cost dean and myself $5500-6000 to hire it on a wednesday and would be nearly double that to hire on a saturday and they limit you to 20 cars.

Out of my tightass price range anyway Maybe the bikes get to go fast to avoid further stabbings, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is I'm keen to do a few runs as soon as my gearbox is built but showing up for a WAW you could get stuck in a line for ages & I really want to get a chance to get a bit of practice. I'd be pissed off to wait 20 mins in line then stuff up the launch.Never run it at the strip but my brother did an easy low 12 on the road (private of course ) & that was with bald Maxxis 245s spinning like heck. I'd like to run a mid 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was close to 11's he told me I may as well fit the tailshaft loop and get the required license (fill in forms and pay some $) cos you need that once you are in the 11's. He didn't mention the battery isolator switch which I thought you also needed.He was cool about it, he said he'd let me run all night and just have fun, but I couldn't bring the car back again till the mods were done, which is fair enough. After every run I was waiting for someone to come and give me the talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
