Default Calder Park - Friday 14th December

Hey Guys

I'm heading up to Calder Park with my missus for a crack at it with my car, Its not running the best, has problems here and there, but im just going to harden up and run it and see what it gives me, hopefully a miracle and or a 07 christmas present

Just wondering if anyone is going down, and if theyd like to meet up, ill be at the doors right on 5pm as i have tommorow off work, but i can meet up/find you if or when you come in.

Im just a bit worried on times tommorow as the temp is 32 degrees and i might suffer greatly from heatsoak.

Thanks.

- Grechie

Good luck tonight guys. Would have loved to come down tonight.

Mark i bet your itching to try out the new tune, especially after what happened last time?

Grechie have you done anything new since last time you went down?

hey guys

what a sweet as night, but i suffered big time on traction off the line, i seriously need to upgrade tyres, there only 205's...

Last time i went down, i had 155rwkw, and 3.45's
This time wen i went down, i have 174rwkw and 3.7's

My PB is 14.433, and tonite could only manage to crack a 14.515, but i have the MPH for a lower 14...

With 14.433, i was doing a 2.1 second 60 footer, 96mph over the line, now im doing 2.4 second 60 footer & crossing the line doing 100mph (160km/h) and doing 14.515...so it is faster now.

Im seriously in need of new tyres...

Also the temperature tonite didnt help one bit, friggin warm as...

Im happy knowing now that it can do 100mph over the line, it now is worthy of a low 14 maybe high 13 with right traction and shifting.

100mph in the heat! Well done mate, 13's are a snack with some good air and a good launch. Invest in some drag radials & 1.8-1.9 60' should see Easy 13's

100mph terminal speed indicates a 13.2 ET is possible. Why have you lost out in your 60 ft? Oh ok, yes wheelspin .
