Gonadman2 Member 140 Member For: 18y 1m 1d Gender: Male Location: Perth - WA Posted 22/02/12 03:20 AM Share Posted 22/02/12 03:20 AM Hey guys, a couple of friends and I are going down to Whoop Ass Wednesday at Kwinana tonight and had a couple of quick questions for someone that might have been before:How do I pay for tickets beforehand? The website has general admission, but nothing for people that are actually racing...Is it really necessary to perform a burnout before hand? I run street tyres and a hottish evening is forecast, I really don't see how this can be beneficial.Are drag strips more sticky or less sticky than a decent bit of road? How much difference does this make to launch RPM?Is there an opportunity to genuinely line up with my mates? Is that how this works, or is it a random thing and a timeslip comparison at the end of the night?It opens at 5pm, is it good to get in early? What are the crowds like for people that are racing?Cheer's for any tips and advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be happy with a mid to low 13. I have never been to the drags but want to get a baseline before I modify the sh*t out of it once the warranty is done.My brother and mate have a VE Bogan special and VY SS (all utes) so it will be interesting to see how the F6 stacks up. They both have a reasonable level of mods, OTRCAI/Full Exhaust/Tune with the VY having a cam as well. They both eat me for grip when playing on the road as well.

More grip than the road until you spin the tyres. There is good grip but overpower it and because of the traction compound put on the track it turns to ice.You will work out where the line is after a few runsHave fun mate!
