Thanks mate
Yeah I might stick the GoPro on the sun roof inside

I'm not expecting to get a perfect launch or shifting, so I'm just happy to have a go....have you taken your blue beast to the drags alexei?

I'll come with

Sweet...I'll txt ya on tuesday..What time do you normally leave the coast? and I have stickers on my helmet, should I pull them off? I'm worried they will not pass it

[alexeiwoody]

I took mine last year, but it had a bunch of issues at the time and the lines were 30mins+ and my TMIC was soaked.

Ran a 12.7s at 112mph (first run was even more soaked 13.0s at 103mph - that's how much difference heatsoak makes on the tmic...)

Car is A+ now, new built gearbox, cams fixed, a little more boost in it Should have a cool 116-120mph in it (if I bring some ice to keep things cool...), but we have no drag strip in Melb atm, Heathcote is in the middle of nowhere and they've had some very sketchy results from their measuring devices and Calder park is closed...

For now, living my 1/4 dreams through you Sydney guys!

EDIT: Scratch that.

Just found out Calder park is opening this/next week, rubber is being laid as we speak. Expect some times very soon!

I usually leave around 3 so you get there right on 4:30 ready for the gates to open. As long as your Australian Standards sticker is showing on your helmet you will be fine.

That's insane about the heat soak....yeah I saw a video today of a Rex at Calder park....
I'm not expecting anything crazy, especially for the first time....

Anybody got any tips??

holding breath....... Good luck Jack!

[dan_ashcroft]

Report!

[jacks-GTB]

So the start of the last went great....

1st run - I didn't get into second gear very well & not the greatest gear changes but it was fun - 12.5

2nd run - it bogged down like but gear changes where better, but i didn't change into 5th - 12.3

3rd run - BROKE Rear driveshaft had to get it towed home.... Just before the run, I reflashed the LC off my tune...so I could do it myself...

I'll post the slips up soon

So on the hunt for some driveshafts...

My reactions as I read this:

Oh yeah, into the 12s!

2nd run - it bogged down like but gear changes where better, but i didn't change into 5th - 12.3

Oh crap, he's getting serious! Have to beat 12.3 now,

3rd run - BROKE Rear driveshaft had to get it towed home.... Just before the run, I reflashed the LC off my tune...so I could do it myself...

OH SNAP (pun not intended)!!! Having problems at the drags like a Baws.

What's the MPH on your runs?

Great first time results for a manual and 6 speed! Pretty badass finish too

[bigBADbenny]

Wow!
Axle or tailshaft?
