Heathcote - Private Drag Day November 24th

Left traction control on like a girl and pulled off a best of 13.28 @ 106mph

Would I have gone much faster without traction control on? I was going to try it out but it started raining.

Drizt were you in the grey Calais?

Ah sorry I didn't say hello. How did you go?

All good mate we were last minute to fill someone's spot.

Yeah we had a good day, it's only Dales second time with car out. We battled with grip all morning and kept dropping tire pressure, I jumped in and ran a 10.72 @ 128mph and then Dale backed it up with a 10.59 @ 129mph.

All in all a good day, we learnt a bit about the car and constantly improved so have a good idea what it should do at Calder.

Awesome results mate. I heard you talking to another guy about continually dropping the tyre pressure.

Must have been a blast at those speeds.

I'm already thinking cam and hi stall to try and get lowish 12's ;)

Mine changed into what I think was 4th a bit before the line and it seemed to slow me down quite a bit. The change felt like it took forever.

I havnt been to the track yet but mine is definitely slower with traction control on its an M6 though with true track.

Bugger.

Next time then.

awesome day thanks!!

first time out went 11.67 at 120

good day, lots of runs and car/engine ran faultlessly after getting beat on all day. just struggled with traction all day, painted lots of black lines.

still can't complain with 10.59@129mph with 1.62mph.
