Killswitch
Students get a cheaper price? Or is that wishful thinking? Either way I'll try and be there but we'll see!
ELLA
ith my beat the heat membership and considering ill be racing what will it cost me mark?
KaOTiK
He he... teh rotor shall be down there I think. Wanna find out exactly what it runs. biggrin.gif Still need to get my tickets for the burnout ute too.
TheHeat
Ella, BTH membership does not provide any subsidy yet for competition meets so it will cost you $45 to run in the Street class at the Nt Titles.

As for admission for spectators, it is a flat $20 for adults no concessions but kids under 14 are free
supertiva
I thought we paid $17 or something last yeat
VLCT WALKY
Why do u guys always go on about the price of the tickes, it's the price end of story, pay it if u want to go, if u do'nt don't !
ELLA
Good call there lars.

well mark $45 is a bit out of my league atm (thats half a new tyre or a tenth of that LSD garbox i want), so i might opt out for this meet and save it for the next street meet smile.gif

ill pm you reguarding volunteering on the night then smile.gif
phee

vh-holden

TheHeat
Race fees have been the same all year...its always been $45 for street class to race at Open meets...$65 to race in Super Street. Everyone pays even pit crew. It will be $20 for adult spectators, Kids U/14 free

But the prize money is also doubled for all brackets as well....$300 Ifor 1st in Street and $150 for runner up....BTh are sponsoring the Street Bracket at the Titles.

And that would be why you didn't get the ticket Adam! Was good to catch up with you again mate.
Rupax
Can anyone tell me, do they have a burn out comp at the NT Titles ?
supertiva
According to mark his taken it upon himself to change the name to NT drag tiles... So... you know... start using it tongue.gif
TheHeat
What? The event is called the NT Titles...NT Drag Racing Titles...whats the difference? I havent taken it upon myself to change anything. It is a committee that decides these things.

No Rupax, no burnout competition at this event...there will be burnout shows by Brett Stevens though in the Jack Daniels Burnout Ute

Mark............... did I read correctly when you say that qualifying starts at 1pm????

If so, I have to re-book the tilt tray, as I had some 3" dump pipes made, and I don't really wanna risk driving down there with a "Beat the Heat" sticker on her and get done for excessive noise!!

What time do the gates open, any idea??
KaOTiK
oooh that will sound sex! drool.gif biggrin.gif
vh-holden
that's an idea for a fundraiser. sell tiles with something drag racing related on them.

Qualifying is from 1pm - 6pm to give people a chance to qualify in case there are too many cars.
Gates open 12:30pm

Scotty has anyone mentioned a little thing called 'back pressure' to you? Belching flames on the shifts will be speccy thats for sure...lol
Salad Fingers
As little back pressure as possible after the tuned section of the exhaust is what your after.
Therefor dumpers straight off the headers will yeild the best power band.
Especially in a supercharged setup.
vh-holden
the vh has a quasi dumper off the header. no issues with back pressure or lack off. still working on flames though.

an interesting site on exhasut principles. http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Miscellaneous/exhausttheory.htm

QUOTE(http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question172.htm)
During the exhaust stroke, a good way for an engine to lose power is through back pressure. The exhaust valve opens at the beginning of the exhaust stroke, and then the piston pushes the exhaust gases out of the cylinder. If there is any amount of resistance that the piston has to push against to force the exhaust gases out, power is wasted. Using two exhaust valves rather than one improves the flow by making the hole that the exhaust gases travel through larger.
Salad Fingers
Exhaust gas dilution of the intake charge is an even worse problem for power production. smile.gif

...
anyway back on topic, should be a good meeting.
If I get off my arse and fix my car I'll prolly even come down for a run I think.

I've had them specially made so they come out just behind the centre pillar straight from the extractors!! Have also had them bent a little so when the flames do come out, I won't get black doors!! Kinda like the angle that you guys run on The Heat thumbsup.gif Have spoken to Mark from Star Performance, and he says it will probably give me an extra 10rwkw!!! Whatever it takes to get into those 11's!!! But I will not be stripping the car of weight, and there's nothing like listening to ACDC hurtling down the track!! thumbsup.gif
