I tried to run my car on new R spec tyres but I couldnt get any heat in them and didn't want to do a huge burnout to do it. Just bought em and they cost too much too take off so much life so early. The 2 runs I did the back stepped out in 2nd gear and I backed off. Was like ice :rolleyes: Scary stuff. Driving Fsix's car made up for that though :beerchug:

I got a stonking 13.6, my quickest out of 4 runs. I just couldn't get any decent traction in the first 2 gears without backing off heaps.

My first run I almost hit the wall, when I shifted to second I was facing the wall! 22s are not the best to drag with especially when there on 30% but I really wanted to see what the car does in proper street trim.

I'll be back with more boost and MTs next time.

Was heaps of fun though.

nice work xrdose, always good to crack a p.b.!! U will definitely see 11's next time out with mt's. Can I ask how did the auto go and how did the stally perform?

thanks dude yeh I was really happy with the way the stally worked I could probably have stalled higher than I did but no point as I was just frying tyres anyway.

I ran a PB of 12.85 @ 109mph, but had a dial in of 12.98 and knocked myself out in the 4th round. Figured it was the best way to go out, not getting done all day and taking myself out with a PB. 60fts were crap all day (2.24 - 2.30) PB was 2.03.

XRDOSE, sorry dude I was chatting to you in pre stage, but didn't realise it was you. I would of introduced myself otherwise.. Well done on the PB dude.

Cheers

Rob

haha all good mate thanks and congrats on your PB as well! :blink:

I can't even launch and cut a good 60' with R-comps, with AWD.. Just no good for the drags, as you've found out..

Well done other-wise.
