Broke my cherry, and had my first taste of the strip. I can now answer all those "What'll she do" questions. I had nervous first run of 13.06 @113.26mph Win, followed by a 13.03 @ 113.04mph Win and shaky 13.26@ 111.94mph Win. Gave the car a break and a cooldown while I composed myself for a fresh assault on a 12...
Second session, and still nervous I changed tack and tried a higher rev on stallup. Fourth run was woeful, messed everything up. Went 13.38 @112.42 Win then I hit my PB for the day, with a 12.60 @114,01mph Win. A solo run completed this session, with a 12.80 @117.37mph then lunch. Third session saw my only loss for the day on the first run. Went 12.86 @113.46mph Lose Opponent ran a 12.31 @121.20 Well done Commie SS. Followed this up with a 12.84 @112.02mph Win, and a final solo of 12.81@112.64. Thanks to Craig at Aussie Car Enhancements for the loan of a helmet and some valuable pointers. All in all it was a funtastic day. Redrum (Jas) and Aumexican (Dave)were there, but I'm sure they would rather talk for themselves. They performed very well also. I look forward to 4.11's and a High Stall, and an auto beef up. Then I'm hunting 11's out: out: |

Funny you should ask that, first 2 sessions on Nangkang NSII's 245 35 19" The last session on MT's But I have a few things to learn, as this was first ever Drag meet. I think the MT's bit very well, and a high stall and 4.11's will help with these tyres. But I was totally stoked to get a 12.6066 with cheap streeties... Go figure.... :

excellent results there redfin even better to have your 1st run at a track and run a mid 12..
I find just do 2 runs tops then a decent cooling helps with some good numbers.

Was a great day, Dave, Kev and I all had a ball for first timers on a drag strip. I have a lot of work to do to get my manual T getting respectable times. The best I could manage was 13.25 at 105mph. I think my best reaction time was .7, best 60 foot time was 2.02. I had quite a few issues with launch and losing boost and the car bogging down. People were great at Heathcote and quite helpful. Next time I go I am already armed with heaps of advice. I had fun and enjoyed myself!
