Have a good look at the rules. The method of calculation (terminal speed/100-reaction time) means a slow car with a good driver has every chance of walking off with the prize!

theres a fair few of us..

must say pretty disappointed to the guys who cant make it (cuz of work or whatever reasons) as everyone knew how far it was on :)

never fear, a dyno day will now pop up after the drags too ive been hearing so no one will have a excuse not to go who didnt make it last time lol

Flaps
17-05-2007, 10:25 AM
Since there is something wrong with my engine which is yet to be pinpointed I find that a good excuse not to flog it for numerous runs down the 1/4. I love drag racing and did about 25+ runs in my old car. I'm gutted to miss out.

Good luck to everyone!!

Timbo
19-05-2007, 09:16 PM
Well, that was interesting! Haven't been on a drag strip since last century :o and I managed to nail my best time on my first run -- a 15.074. I have similar results playing golf -- I guess it's don't think too much about it

I hear MACCAA held the end up for the Pogs. Onya, MACCAA!

Great to see people again, and meet some new folks. It would have been great to see more VAG cars, I think we had 16 in the end -- personally, I feel it may be time to drop the chip war element of these things, 'cos perhaps it is making people stay away. Much better to have people come, meet and try these events out without feeling 'tribal' (stop the sermon, Tim, you dckhd :D )

Thanks to Seb and all for organising . Great to do something like this in a professional way.

Hmm, so we've had a dyno day, a drag day -- maybe we need to get some real commitment to something like a track day or hillclimb ??

im farqed.. 4-5 hours sleep in 2 days.. migrane now! argh! need to get to bed. finally home for once.

absolutely bloody awesome day! Huge thanks to Seb for organising the day for everyone, was a lot of fun most definately.

Even that GIAC'd mk4 clockin 270km on a run.. wow! lol

thumbs down to who didnt make it.. BOOOOO!

DubSteve
20-05-2007, 12:50 AM
Yeah what a great day, a GIAC'D mk4 hit 270kms/h, now that was good. Great work Melissa as she broke the sound barrier in it.

Big thumbs up to Seb for organisation, I was the only guy from watercooled, pretty poo guys should have been more and also would have to loved to have seen mk1 nd 2's dragging.

All in all great day, video coming to a euro workshop near you.

I'm not going to take replys, this is just a statement. Yeah very poor form only one watercooled person turning up, good on you Steve and thanks very much for the video, your a champ. Not long a go there was some whinging from guys here bout Vortex people not "inviting" them to events. If you don't turn up to said events, not much point in whinging.

Was a good day, congrats to Matt and Louie for there 13's. Whilst I'd rather spend a day at a race track then a drag strip, there are a bunch of people that make days like this and the dyno worth going to. Thanks very much Seb for organising the day, I had lots of fun.

It was posted up for quite sometime and people knew about it, maybe scared.. maybe busy but was enough time for people to rearrange work which i did and most of the guys so we could all attend.

Wasn't bout speed in the end, or amount of mods but a consistent time and what not if anything!

Dyno Day 30th of June in Canberra is coming up.

And also another Sydney Dyno Day will be also comin, BOTH for everybody to JOIN and run they're car(s) and see how they go. great for modification comparison if your doing your car up or even to see how its running (lean/rich/etc) ..

Numbers will be posted soon

Haven't been here in a while - would have been good to go to !

Sounds like it was a great day, would love to see a few videos of the runs - I would have been there, but I'm in the process of packing stuff up and sending it to self storage :(

I'm not sure whether to take it with a grain of salt.

I would have loved to have gone to the Nationals, but Easter is a time I spend with my family. My father's birthday is 12th May. So count that cruise out.
Blood is thicker than water.

Dyno day ? Dyno'ed my car in February/April... didn't need to put it up again - and after reading about the bitching that occurs after EVERY dyno behind the scenes (whether it's with the Nissan crew by experience and reading Tiny's efforts even though he has had poor customer service and service in general) I can't be arsed going !

I love both my cars and love to talk and share info to those who are willing to do the same with genuine interest, not self motive.

Should just delete this post, but it's another one of those finger pointing comments..........
