Gonna ask dad VERY nicely if I can use the Ford - if the Corolla isn't fixed

god damn these drags never being on a day i have the day off lol

dont think he has got one yet either

hmmm....vwrx is out of the picture till next year....but hopefully the 58 will make July....fingers crossed

I borrow it... and wear a plastic bag over my head....

ill try and get this toploader in the mazda for the next meeting.

Gregs got one you can borrow benny boi

Dad doesn't want me to use the Ford

Will be taking photo's then. Taking the big flash with me this time

Where would be the best spot to take photo's? Would I be allowed to get closer to the start line by any chance?

PM jay or Mel and ask for special permission, or better still, start a thread on the HV drags site.

better yet, talk to someone who knows from experience....


no.
they have contracts, so you can take photos from the hill, but not down at the start line. thats Mel's territory

Now now Tim no sour grapes!

Quin have a look on our website (sorry can't quote word for word as i'm sitting at Melb airport with no comp access... Just a small phone screen) we have a media and photography policy in place and that will advise you what you need to do.

You can be a teams photographer/pitcrew for memory but only photo's of that car are to be taken from the start line.
And Tim's Territory is Team Scud...
Happy to pass your details to another team though.

Who's entering and who's spectating?

Id like to enter, All depends on getting this gearbox in.

I have had the pleasure of your company on the startline before young tim, when are you venturing down again ?

Will be there,

Might enter again, front tyres are looking a bit low.

Which car is yours saukoa? Quite a good variety last meet, 4's, 6's, 8's and rotors.

heh. well now that i know that
i think i might rock up again..... try and get a bit better with the flash...



heh. well it depends when i can make it down
but i might be keen to check out the startline outside a car again....

i'm happy with my 14.2 from last time (even if it was with loose bolts on the exhaust side of the turbo and two screwed engine mounts)

was going to enter this week as i need to get rid of the fuel on the car but now with the helmet stuff no way am i going to buy a new helmet just for drag racing. Fuck that so sorry but wont be there

Blue MY05 WRX Wagon.


Stock as a rock, just took the rear muffler off so it actually sounds like a rex. lol

iv got new street slicks but need fuel and god dam helmet so will see if all comes together or will give it a mis

ok so make that i have the tires and the helmet just need go go juice

well after a 2 hour clean car's looking sexy

just need to put the old rear suspension in so the slicks fit!

and it's on ! hello 11's

Trans brake setup Lars?

It had reverse today so maybe

your not allowed to use the trans brake when we race..... ok
looks like its going to be vl-1 and vk-0 but il have a ball trying to catch ya

nar jay no transbrake, gearbox still broken and don't have the founds to fix! and as i don't have reverse the transbrake sort of doesn't hold the car!

just different gears 3.9's over 3.45 and

an extra 30 or so rwkw from when i did the 12.3 ish!

so should be good!

and ben it's okies, i recon i'll be chasing you down mr! that is if i can catch u

Lars me and you can do more synchronized skids yo LMAO

More than likely wont be racing, as the helmet i was going to borrow isnt up too new standards.

What size head you got Zac?

i can bring down a Medium new standard helmet it anyone needs it. Not racing tonight.

me either could not get one in time. So i just sit back and get shit faced instead

none of my meet the standard cause it didn't have nz on it

epic fail

car doesn't make boost on the line and also snaps axcels, also slicks where under the wear marks (they wheren't there any more)

o wells on a positive car did a 111.94mph pass, so am happy with that

Well i did a 15.9... Then decided to take off the exhaust at the cat, where it goes from 3" back to standard (2"?) and did 2 consistent 14.5 passes.

So taking of my zorst fucking rocked.... until i brokded it.

Tim thought the engine may have over pressured as there is a bit of oil leaking out of the breathers, and the rocker gasket.... drives like shit, hoping that the afm shit itself and thats all that problem is. Ahh well, see how we go!

First time I've seen the car since you painted it for PC this year, looks pretty good Lars. 111mph ain't to shabby. What power do you have now? Seems like you and Benny are going to have some good matches this year. Get some tyres to hook up and you'll both be line ball!

Bad luck about the axle though

Race results are up;

go the blue brap brap

thanks jay, making 238 rwkw, but for some reason stalling it up made no boost at all, which really should be making some sort of post even 5psi so need to sort that out! and yes tyres will definitely be on the next time i race. it was tramping way way to much, which would have done the axel.

attached the dyno sheet

Cool, last i heard it was around 180-200....that's a good jump! Sounds about right, you should be down into the mid to low 12's with that power and MPH once its all set. Similar MPH to benny and mine when I was NA. From memory I got 12.5 @ 110mph, with the auto you should trump that.

It was great to see everyone lining up for more runs last night, this just goes to show that those that did attend really enjoy the chance to give their cars stick in the controlled environment that HVDRA and "beat the heat" offers to anyone that wants to participate, first time for me running the timing system last night but i have just one little favour to ask..............make sure you print your details clearly on the forms so it can be entered in correctly
