Benjy Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Went to Pod with Chris and John Bailey, Andy (Myrddin) and Shane, and thought I'd chuck the car up the strip. Previously (Japshow Finale) ran 13.7 @ 107mph @ BPU on 16" Mickey Thompson radials. (Prepped track) Got it a bit better this time and managed a 13.1 @ 111mph, with the exact same set up but 19" wheels and street tyres on an un-prepped track. Me showing an M5 how it's done... https://vimeo.com/127044860 Supra vs Impreza... https://vimeo.com/127045237 Nippy little Civic vs Supra... https://vimeo.com/127045509 Apparently the Camaro didn't want to race... https://vimeo.com/127045980 And when I went to the car, I found someone had a bit of a Fast and Furious thing going on with the Supe...

sidewaysdan Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Great fun though win or loose. I live so close to the pod and I've only ever been twice. I must get up this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I have to say, if you want to run your car, do a RWYB as opposed to running at Japshow etc. 15-20 mins between runs, whereas at a show you're talking 45-1hr un the queue! Although at shows like Japshow, they prep the track so it's stickier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Going to run my radials and a pair of space savers up front next time lol Drag radials at 17psi seems to be the sweet spot talking to Shane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Drag radials at 17psi seems to be the sweet spot talking to Shane. Yeah he said that was the happy medium. I ran mine at 12psi, which at over 100mph is a bit... Iffy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
