VVDS at Full Throttle Friday 21st October

vintage · 22 Oct 2011, 11:35 am

We took the Vintage drag car out to " Full Throttle Friday " last night at Sydney Dragway for a few test and tune runs down the 1/4 mile strip

We had 6 runs with problems what so ever

the car went car hard and straight down the track on a well prepared track ( unlike Warwick where every one was skating about )

Wayne Fenech ran 6 very consistent runs all with in with 2 MPH

the best 1/4 mile ET of the night was a 10.34 with the best MPH 131

Best 1/8 mile ET was 6.5 with the best MPH 105

A great night at the Track

the next step in tunning will be an upgrade in tyre size from 26 to 30 inch and an upping of the Boost from 18psi to 20psi

Bring on VMA Drag series in February

Great to hear Dave.👍👍
Bet Wayne's happy with those numbers and running straight is definately best 🙂

28" tyre is all you should need.
Red baron actually has run 7's on the 1/4 with 26" x 10" wide.

👍👍👍 Great pic's

Dave, did you say Wayne's on a diet?

Wayne does not need to be any lighter, that is what a waste gate is for.

Alot of blokes are running ballast upfront maybe ballast in the drivers seat is a good thing, im hoping it is anyway!

yep all good

after Warwick we only had to do the regular maintenance
and looks like thats all we will be doing again before the next run maybe Dec or Jan

there were some fully sick cars out there on the night running very low 7s
