i did 9 runs
and 4 of them i got into the 14.9
the rest was all **** times cause of miss gears

heres the times
R/t .649
60' 2.263
330' 6.284
660' 9.633
mph 73.37
1000' 12.486
ET 14.919

my reaction times were really slow

but i guess im happy to get into the high 14s
i hope next time when i go i get a low 14s and i be really happy

 

what other times have other people got before please post up

 

8a8y should of told me to come next time.. I think i might be alittle faster than you

Regards
phillip

 

ok no problems
i might go again in two weeks time i let you know
i wanna run you BAD and i show Elle that i can beat you

 

8a8y 8... I think DrayToys and Hymee get a much better time than you there!

You are right seems to be the reaction time that costs you. Hymee doing a 60' around 2.0something right?

I am no drag star but I love to see Hymee doing it one day

 

did yr car got any mods on it??

 

no mods only the hymee exhaust
oh well it pretty good considering its the first time
never tried that before

 

Everyone wants to run me bad.. lol experience is the key j/k

 

thats a good time.

I have to get a hymee exhaust so I can join the 14 sec club

 

This is a public forum?? I have never been to the drags.

8A8Y 8, good on you. I love seeing people take there cars to right place for what they are made for! Getting into the 14's is cool. You should be able to shave .4 off that time with a perfect launch.

There is an old addage that if you improve your 60' by "X", your ET will improve by 2X. You chould be able to get a 2.0 60' time. You just need to work out how to acheive it (hint - it is all in the launch). Don't worry about your reaction time. It doesn't affect your times at all. It only affects who might get to the line first in a proper race.

So if you drop you 60' by .25, you should be able to drop your ET by 0.5! Then you would be in the low 14's, and that would be impressive. Weight is on your side! Imagine if you got the sports pack without all that extra shitty weight of the Leather Pack!

There is a private members area on www.rx8club.com.au that has some more info.

Cheers,
Hymee.

You should be able to drop .4 of that with a decent launch. Get that 60' down to 2.0 and your there.

Cheers,
Hymee.
