Had only 14psi in the tyres. Burnout - Wheels spun way too easily. Tried to stall up with the handbrake. Managed 12.7... my worst effort EVER!2nd run - Managed to borrow a foot pump and pumped up the tyres to 17psi. Stalled up with the foot brake, launched with too much wheel spin & pulled 12.3. Did manage my highest top speed ever though - 121mph3rd run - Engine light kept coming on. Did the burnout, had massive axle tramp, then major vibration like the car was going to stall. Reversed back and decided not to run.Overall, my night sucked. My eBay helmet with AS/NZ1698 didn't meet their regulations, so I had to buy a helmet there. Pulled my back somehow. And car buggered up.Should've just stayed at home.hey mate why did they knock your helmet back if it had a as/nz1698 that's what they require was it a new helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceMyButt got kicked out, dunno if he was happy with the time but it was a bit of a handful down the track. I thought he would've backed off and had another run. It was a PB AFAIKMet a few forum members too, even one from Victoria. A bit envious of the WSID facilities hey Adam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit envious of the WSID facilities hey Adam?Glad you had a good night last night mate and good to see you there.IceMybutt was lined up next to me for the only run it did last night.I took off and got halfway down the track by the time he launched off the line.I managed 12.3 @121mph on that run while he pulled 10.2 @139mph As we were coming down the return road, he got pulled up... guess he was asked to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregor Member 459 Member For: 16y 1m 14d Posted 01/10/09 03:57 AM Share Posted 01/10/09 03:57 AM They are really cracking down on it compared to a few months back. The standard is AS/NZS1698 if it doesnt have the S after NZ then it doesnt meet the new standards and you will get knocked back if it doesnt meet SNELL or one of the other standards accepted. Generally that's more for the expensive full faced bike helmets made before the standard changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceMyButt Link Member 421 Member For: 20y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 01/10/09 04:25 AM Share Posted 01/10/09 04:25 AM Nice to meet some of you guys out there last night. The track was pretty average after the 3 week break from FUCHS nationals and the dust storm. We launched on a soft 6 pounds and when the boost really kicked in it just spun 1st though 3rd. We could have pushed to squeeze in another run but figured without some track prep the car was just going to do the same thing again, probably worse with a harder launch. So we packed it up and the car goes off the get the cage and chute at the end of next week. We should be back racing in the next 3-4 weeks after the car gets through the ANDRA tech inspection.New PB was good - 10.2 @ 139mph I have attached a couple of pics in case your interested.
