First outing to the drags last night! (WSID)
Had my first crack at the drags last night in my buggy. Managed a 15:8et at 83mph in between missing gearchanges and being a total novice. I can
totally recommend it. Zak should have got an award for the ugliest, dirtiest car there. :P
Look here for a full report...

Turbo 6, he pulled an 11.9 and left me behind at 60foot mark. On the second run I stuffed up the 1-2 change, but still was quicker than a corolla next
to me with a 16:3.

next time I'll try and select 2nd instead of 4th. :duh
I reckon the car might have a 14 in it if the owner could drive. I'll have to start practising more at the lights

thats sweet , isnt funny how hard it is to drive down a straight race track ,changing gears is alot harder , actually i found just leaving the line
hard...
was it a busy night ? how many runs did you fit in?
when we went a couple of weeks ago we stuffed about for a good hour after the track opened up for racing and still managed 3 runs each , apparently
it was a massive crowd due to the bad weather and people missing out from the week before..
you must be pumped now for the 16th may
gravity wont get you high

the track was VERY crowded, and because it was school holidays there were stunt bike riders as well. Between that (an EVO driver in front who was
asleep in the staging lane!) and the rain I only got 2 passes in. 
Kind of a shame, but it was good too. It's the first time I've had the car on the rev limiter in 3rd. Next time I might try a bit of a burnout.
