Craig S - July 11th, 2009 at 02:43 PM

I can confirm that there was racing there today, my son's soccer game was only a few kms from the track and you could hear them loud and clear, even over the abusive parents.


Dak-A-Tak - July 11th, 2009 at 03:42 PM

waiting waiting a few oil downs


Super1302 - July 13th, 2009 at 06:24 PM

iv'e always wondered what that whale taill was for.:D
good stuff


vw54 - July 13th, 2009 at 07:01 PM

yeah its good to have a picnic on the rear wing LOL

very COOL day with no rubber on the track see what i mean by the MAZDA doing a burn out and a sharp LEFT turn into the start line wall started to get a little tackie later in the day

We had to warm up with fushnchups on the WHALE tail NO sushie there for sure

we had 4 runs and for the first 3 we got to the start line only to be held up by some failure on the track
1 oil down
one too many bits to pick up
and one broken down JAP car having to be towed off the track

the 4th run we line up n actually went off after the previous car

Any way a great day of Test n tune we played HEAPS with fuel

ended up with 80 percent more fuel that we had in previously computors who needs them


Dak-A-Tak - July 13th, 2009 at 09:43 PM

Well Dave , thats the worst race report I have read ever (not even funny), Thanks Henry ! thats a great race report .


vw54 - July 14th, 2009 at 06:44 AM

Hey Pete the pics are good

I have a video as well but too big for here

so what else do you want to know ????


dangerous - July 14th, 2009 at 07:05 AM

All the times:(1/8 and 1/4 mile) ,
60 foot,
speeds:(1/8 and 1/4),
boost.

Did it drive straight?

Stop in time?

Use the chute?

What changes to the car since all the trans failures at Portand?

:dork:

All the DRAG RACING DETAILS...don't want to know about the picnic!?

Picnic photos can go in the general chit chat section:lol:

We want burnout, launch and engine pics in this section....but thanks for what you have shown already Dave.


vw54 - July 14th, 2009 at 07:37 AM

NO didnt use the chute

Car launched to the left due to NO traction or lack of what is normally there as can be seen by the blue mazda into the start line wall

best time was 11.3 at 130mph

we need bigger injectors simple


dangerous - July 14th, 2009 at 08:55 AM

Dave has forwarded in some top secret run sheets.

Best 60 foot time was 1.57
Best 1/8 mile was 7.49 and 98.56mph on another 7.50 run.
Best speed on the 11.36 run was 130.28, but it also ran 128.75 on an earlier 11.38 run.

Looks like things are really progressing forward there Dave.
