Compared to previous trips down there it was pretty wild & like you said on just about every change it was hold on, that shunt across the track in 4th was still abit of a surprise even though you warned me about it. As for dangereous tell me about it!!! The fishtales made for good watching & was fun but it wouldnt of been if I had of hit the wall. All I could think of at the time was hold it pinned to the floor & it should set its self right if it gets traction.

I aborted a few of my runs simply because it started it in spin. As for hittin limiter I think I was guilty twice everything was just happening alot quicker & it has been a while since ive been down.

The reason im seeing the upside is it showed the signs that you mentioned previously of power increases & I definatly dont need more at this point I dont think that would get me down the track any quicker. Even with the ridecleous traction it got & my poxy effort at the 60ftrs it was getting close time wise to what I was last time I was down there.

The trick to the last run was the massive cloud of smoke I left at the line so thatll be the first thing I do when I get down there. I do have to play with what boost I leave at & what point I change gears. I think the only way is practise & its something I dont get enough of but at least theres something to work with & I learnt something from the trip.

Maybe a shift lights going to help.

I went with a Shift-I http://www.ecliptech.com.au/index.php?opti...&Itemid=109

Just as a comparison I have 370rwkw and did an 11.22 @ 125mph.

Your mph is seeming a little low. I though it would be around the 130mph and above mark especially with the slower 60\'.

Nice job but mate and keep cracking at it.

it is a tad low I know as I did a 11.3- @ 125 with similar power figures as you last time I went down. But that was a pretty good/clean run. I'm not gonna make any assumptions yet on as we put it true power until I have the chance to make a clean run but its definatly quicker saying that I did a 11.4 with a 2.+ & 11.6 with a 2.2 60ftr sliding a good portion of the way. Like I said I cant explain it & will wait til I have a chance to give it a good run maybe even at a better track. Will use tville as a practise track getting the basics right & then if I cant quite crack it there I'll head abit further south where the return road doesnt look like a goat track. Its no longer under andra rules so you can imagine the state its in. Enough excuses though I think I just need more practise!!!

I have a shift light built into my gauge but in the 2 occasions I did hit limiter it was when it was spinning through 1st & then didnt have time to catch it before it hit limiter in 2nd. It all happens pretty quick especially when the wheels spin. Just a case of operator problems. lol.

My only true gauge at this point is my own seat of the pants & lets just say I dont need anymore power at the moment!!! (never thought id ever say that)

me millers and brad. saw your run's did not look like you had any traction off the line what tires were you running?

[qik1]

was using MT ET streets 17 275's. What time did yas end up leaving?

[neo]

about 9:30 about 2 runs after they stopped calling the times. more grip on them tires and getting your launch right should of seen you hit that 10 mark.

[qik1]

Its pretty poor how they stop timing so early. You would think they would do it til its shut up time. Anyway that's how things go & there was no use juping up & down as that wouldnt of done any good. Good excuse to get back down there & have another go I recon.

[Nashy]

That last run u did u could see it launch off the line so much better than any other run that night. Definetly need to do more big ass byurnouts get them tyres cooking

Id give you a hand with that but u dont have a clutch and that about all im good at doing burnouts on

[DesFlurane]

How do you get the big burnout?

I have the same problem, sh*tty burnout, sh*tty traction/time.
