My first run I done a massive burnout then when I took off I had no boost the whole run and it sounded like the car was dying, so then every run after I didn't do a skid cos I wanted boost during run, well hopfully next time with slicks we can get some good mph again with a half decent time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be damn annoying to have a car with so much potential yet have valve spring dramas. I might have to go have another crack soon as I bet it was pretty cool up there last night. Goodluck on your next run and hopefully you have some slicks by then. Oh and what size stally you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track looked a bit slippery last night too, my mate had a fair bit of wheelspin in his Tornado, ended up running a 12.9 @108 (manual) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to get back out there judging by the mph it should go very fast when it hooks up.Good times for the ute I remember seeing it out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 16y 9m 14d Posted 01/05/10 09:52 AM Share Posted 01/05/10 09:52 AM (edited) Yeah its definatley awesome to line it up and not have to worry bout po po when your flat to the boards. When I went the other week I lined the car up with the back wheels lol and didnt know what all the fuss was about. Nerves start to get to ya when you line your tyres up to do a skid and the car in front of ya is launching off the starting line.. Wicked... Oh and definately a good time in it with that mph. Probs get a better mph again when you can get grip. Edited 01/05/10 09:53 AM by ebxmple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
