First run @ Willowbank

[Chris_F]

hehe I had heaps of fun tho it was harder than i thought - ran full interior and 36psi up front (running as the car would be on the street) and kept forgetting to turn traction control off which stuffed a couple of my runs. my best time with it off for the night was:

60ft 2.415
330ft 6.751
660ft 10.290
m.p.h 68.87
k.p.h 110.84
1000ft 13.326
E.T. 15.855
M.p.h 88.37
k.p.h 142.22
over/under 15.855
Air 30deg Track 36deg 58%H

was a very balmy night and i still have 0 skills - hoping for low fifteens next time lol

I had heaps of fun hanging out with you guys and watching everyone have a great time...Unfortunately for me, i suck...or my car does...either way...very disapointed in how i ran.

EG hatch with b18cr
stripped interior everything behind front seats GOOOONE
Mugen headers and intake

and the excuses:
17's...(shitty tyres)
shitty tune (In my opinion - ie. best trap of 94mph )
and gheybo bodykit!!

Best time was an agonising 15.010 @ 90 or 92 mph (can't remember) with a 2.2 60ft.

On the way home i thought to myself...why was i dumping the clutch. I was telling Dave minutes before my run...ease out on the clutch and you'll be sweet...Don't know if he took my advice but i sure as hell should have...lol

Its just the pressure man.

you just need to concentrate on your run and listen to your car.

yeah but the thing is...i wasn't all that nervous...i have been to the track quite a few times...Every run (about 6 in total) was driven the same way...maybe launching slightly differently...ie 3k...3.5k...4k

Also...hard to listen to your car when the helmet muffles everything But i agree...i think i need to learn my car a bit better...

Finally found my fuel cut off...8700...tried to hold on gear a couple times...hit cutoff only slightly, but killed my run! 3rd to 4th was a real bummer! drops revs too much going into 4th...and yes...4th!!!

[JasonGilholme]

Damn man, sounds like the car's got potential.

A few more runs and you'll settle in.

hahaha i know how you feel, i was told to run out 3rd but when i did i hit limiter rofl i wouldnt stress about too much, im just gonna have to go back out and get a better time... plus work on my driving skills
you keen to hit it up again? i sure am

[egSi]

when its cooler we should head back out, and when my car is fixed lol

[zel05]

I am keen to go back out when i have a few of my issues sorted out...

Having said that...i will most likely come back out sooner then that as i really wanted to get atleast a 14!!

Let the weather cool down a bit me thinks...Saturday was the worst day of the weekend.

[Micko]

haha yeah, once its winter out comes my AC LOL!

Yea i was having the same problem had to shift into 4th just at the line a real pain in the but. On a good day with some improved driving i think we should both be capable of low 15's

i couldnt believe how balmy/humid it was i was dripping with sweat even at 9pm!
