Motoplex drags

Subafury · Post by **Subafury** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 12:29 am

well i think it was dissapointment for all down at the plex tonight.

mike's boost control wasnt working- only giving half the expected boost
alex had problems with 4wd and launches out of his 3 gos.
andrewt was too late to make it thru the racing gate
i had 2/4 good launches and my best time 17.4 was still slowerr than the ol ea82t running shithouse.

was a pretty okka session tho, ausubaru should be proud- both alex and i got pulled up and checked that our engines we'rent too high, and we both made the clean up crews sweep up after pines mud falling onto the track. and also people didnt know if the cars were rwd/fwd/awd haha.
i dont think ill be going down the strip again with this engine.

Yeah was a very busy night. Maybe if I'd have gotten there about 10 minutes earlier I'd have gotten to race, they were completely full!

yeah i got there about 6:30ish and it was closed.. otherwise i would have left some clutch smoke behind... (and run 12's).... maybe it was a good thing i didnt get in though because on the drive home my gearbox made some very suss noises from first gear.

my best time was a 15.8. Not happy, i never got a proper shot at going really really hard cos of the asshole plex staff and my small gbox issues. Wanky has so much more! Get her down to high 14s i reckon.

The drive home was v fun. Wanky ate a turbo supra and an ea falcon xr8, they werent happy! Haha.

Ps. 14psi is bloody nuts!
