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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My helmet is a Ray's helmet and meet all standard, it was less than $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregor Member 459 Member For: 16y 1m 14d Posted 30/09/09 09:56 PM Share Posted 30/09/09 09:56 PM Id recommend MCAS.com.au for cheap helmets. The one I got has the new standard on it and cost me about 60 bucks (I think it needs to be AS/NZS1698 now) or if you have a better full face helmet it may be ok with other standards like SNELL which are still accepted.

I got an open face one for $70. The had the full face ones for $100. But I find it easier to get the open face one on as I've got a massive head. Plus it lets me breathe easy.
