I went to the Wednesday night drags at Eastern Creek this week for the first time. There where 2 other MX5's there and about 200 cars in total (full house). A big mix of cars and a few bikes.

Apparently if you get about 1 dozen cars or more together you can get your own waiting lane which means you can run against each other. I thought there maybe a few people on the forum who may want to try and organise something for one of the nights. The cost to enter a car is only $45 and you normally get at least 4 runs apparently. If you have your own lane it means at least you have a chance to get together for a chat as there is a bit of waiting around.

Time Slip or Ban!

Looks like you've got some of Sean's 'air' there FF!

Hope you showed up the guy in the poo brown turbo'd Corolla that was hassling me on the way home on Wed night on his way to the drags - he deserved a whoopin!

Hi Bigdog

Time slip below. Can't say I showed any poo brown Corollas the way but got whooped by a bush mechanics datsun 1200 who ran a 11.7 i think. The car I ran on the slip was a pretty serious gut in a 200SX so that was nice.

My car went a little better than I expected. I went with saying I would be happy of I could get into the 13's.

That's a good time FF. Were you running R-specs or road tyres? I'd like to give the "Tinkered One" a go one night. Just waiting for my work collegue to fix the clutch in his Skyline.The Bull***t stops when the flag drops or something like that.

Hi Al,

I have Falken 651's on the car (they are my road tyres) but think road tyres are probably as good unless you do a huge burnout as they are dead cold when you get to the line.

Very nicely done indeed!!

The Corolla was a '73/74 jobbie with 3 different shades of poo brown paint, wide steel wheels and a 'stealth' turbo install - let down slightly by boting the FMIC to the front bumper, in front of the grille! My guess is it probably had a 2l Nissan motor and went like a blur, but maybe it was only a 1300 with a fake intercooler and loud exhaust...

If I tried a \"Burnout\" I'd likely run over some unsuspecting official. Pretty good at wheelspin though. 2nd gear is my specialty!

The old rough as Datsun 1200 that ran 11.7 had a rough SR 20 turbo in it and probably weigged 700kg with no intercooler but I suppose if you run it for 12 odd secongs you may get some life out of it.

There was a moster S2000 running 11.7 as well wich was pretty serious.

It doesn't sound like the Dato would do many laps around wakefield.Was the S 2000 turbo? I think that would be a good combo.

Outrageous! Blasphemy I say!!
May VTEC will save your poor heathen soul

The S2000 was turbo and was shooting flames out the exhaust.

Even VTEC can't resist the lure of the Satan Snail

From what I heard his car was pinging and he was letting off over the last 100 - 200m. He was there to get into 10s so he was not too happy. I think he's going back next week (if they have the problems sorted out) to try and get into 10s.
