I was in lane 3 white 68 coupe with two89w plates.

At the end of the track before the finish line there is some white lines that look like they are in the shape of an X.

What is that for?

My car was hitting the rev limiter (nooooooooooooo) about a bonnet length before the start of the big X just before the finish.

there are three beams at the end of the strip, first two measure time between which works out mph and the final beam is the finish line.

Was there freezing my nuts off!!

SpoolMan · 28-07-2005, 11:29 AM

Hi Dave, get some drag radial tyres, your 3rd run must have been a burnout off the start line.lol.
your MPH says you should have a mid 13 sec pass in your car.
good work for 1st time out, you must have enjoyed it.

Mustang Dave · 28-07-2005, 11:38 AM

It was wheelspin in 1st,2nd and half of 3rd by then the commodore was goooooooooone !

en aswome :eclipsee_

brenx · 28-07-2005, 11:57 AM

Congrats. It's always good to run the expected times. Slicks are the go. Your mph is enough to net you a high 12 on slicks provided the launch rpm is right ;)

You only need 105mph and dumb luck to run a 12.95. I've done it myself consistantly though.

The real funny part was i was in sydney wednesday night and ended up going out to manley and ended up in a Kariokie ( SP ) bar, would have gone to the drags had i known they were on and knowing now you live so close it would have been good to catch up.

Mustang Dave · 31-07-2005, 04:04 PM

What date are you going to wakefield?

Is it no speed limit day? or an organised day?

Aeron · 31-07-2005, 05:12 PM

I think its an Organised day. My sisters fiancé’s dad invited me. He knows the guy that is organising it. He'll be there in his 3 week old LS2 HSV Maloo and his brother will be there in his VX SS ute with tricked up auto, uni-chip and big $$$ brakes. Its on Wednesday.
