Bobbeh Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Hehe, sorry to hear that Ian I've always noticed it gets much better towards the end of the day. The track improves and the traffic dies down a bit. SHame about the weather and I can understand your gripes.. you sometimes cant get much racing in a whole day. Last time I went my buddy got 5 runs, and he took a couple of hours off for a break. So it can be fun. Scooter, out of interest, how did you and you're car get on.. its gotta be better than my 15.7 back in Janurary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Originally posted by Ian C Can I just say that Darren Blake, after giving me lots of abuse in the morning for my apparent lack of ability to find second gear every now and again, started in the wrong gear on the drag strip - an impressive feat with an autobox It was in MANU mode, Ian! Anyway, I still kicked your ass all the way up to 60 feet. Even speaking from the NA driver's perspective - it was a brilliant day. Real shame about the weather and the queueing but it was great to meet you all. It was a really nice atmosphere (even if it was bloody freezing!) Being a Pod virgin, I was happy not to come in at over 20 seconds (even on my "wrong gear" run). Just for the sake of interest, this is the timesheet for my best run. Remember this is a stock NA automatic. Reaction:--1.496 60ft:--------2.527 330ft:------6.975 1/8:---------10.547 (70.21mph) 3/16:-------13.471 1/4:---------16.175 (87.49mph) By the end of the day I was so keyed up that I blew my last run (against a fiesta with gansta tints) with a false start. I was still buzzing more than an Ann Summers sales rep when I got home. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I did 2 runs in the 1JZ almost identical @ boost 12psi leaving the auto in D 14.7 @ 97.2mph now I'll start playing with the E-manage and E-01!!! good to meet you all.. shame I was the only MKIII Dave S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Bobbeh, I got a best time of 13.875...... Hardly had time to chat to anyone as i was constantly queueing. I got butt-whipped (calm down Brad & Termi) by Robbie all day (we're both white UK's), until Ian C obilged;) on my final run of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Hehe, thats ok, I'm just happy to know my car is capable than something less than a 15.7! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dunk Shaw Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Good to meet up with you guys again, shame the weather wasn't warmer as i was froze for most of the day. I was going to join you up the 1/4 but my rear tyres are on there last legs and didn't want to be driving home on slicks, well thats my excuse for not winning the coveted trophy. But fair play to you guys and girls as some pretty good times were being made. Catch you all at the nxt event. Lets hope its warmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam_SG Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Theres a good clip of me racing the 300ZX, and i beat him only just though mainly because he was spinning more than me at the start! It was when he was messing around with his boost controller while q-ing i thought i was in for a beating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Mark D... I THINK I'm right in saying the Reaction Time is listed seperately and NOT INCLUDED in the ELAPSED TIME ! ! ! It doesn't matter what reaction time you get, the "1/4 ET" is the time it takes for the car to go point-to-point as it were. It's done that way so you can see easily the 2 times seperately. If you look at the bottom of the page it says "1st Finish" under the car which actually 'crossed the line' first....that's the RACE WINNER..... if you like ? ! IF it wasn't done that way, and MY Reaction Time was INCLUDED in my ET, then on 1 run (ET=14.080, RT=1.349) I actually had a 'run' time of 12.731 ! ! ! I DON'T THINK SO ! ! Not sure if it's done the 'other' way for 'proper' Draggin' ? ? FatS. [ DOM... lookin' back at the OLD slips from our trips up there THAT makes sense 'cos there are 2 runs where YOU had '1st Finish' but I had lower ET1/4 times....ie. YOU had better Reaction Times, but I had better ET...YOU actually went through the lights FIRST....NOW, in a real 'DRAG' surely YOU would WIN !? so they MUST include the Reaction Time in REAL Draggin' ! ! ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
