I attended the drag wars event yesterday. The organiser phoned me to say that because ita street car event no trailered cars will be allowed. So I had to drive there about 50 km from my house to Tarlton. Changed the tyres and I was ready

My First run I discover that the cluch is not 100 %. If I rev the car up it creeps forward, and basically gives me a red light, The 1st run the car switched off thats how bad it bogged.

I come back to the pits made a few adjustments and try again same thing but this time I come back hold the launch down and it goes out the line but the boost pipe shoots off.

A friend of mine helps me move the launch controll to the hand brake and I go out again 10.4 @ 236, the run after that 10.2 @ 236 then 10.07 @ 238. This was on 1.5 bar boost. I turned the boost up to 1.7 but the car went into a a wheel spin in 4th gear I backed out of it but managed a 10.7 still
This was a scary moment against one of the Skylines




After that I fitted my road tyres on and drove home :D
