[VIC] Calder this Friday night, let's race! - Page 2

XR8-260 · 31-05-2008, 01:38 AM

Well done Doug. That's the fastest time I've seen from a stock BF. How cool was the weather at the track?

Doogstar · 31-05-2008, 01:44 AM

Thanks 3, I don't know what the record is, but I am pretty close.

It was a beautiful 11c. Ya gotta love Melbourne weather.

Thanks Doug I was more than happy with the 10.8, good news for you is you have the same engine and auto as mine.

Congrats Doug 13.6 for a bog stock bf turbo is a great starting point..

Cheers Mark, I might have the same engine and auto but 10.8 is a LONG way off for me, gives me something to aim for but.

I am very happy though, just wanted to see what she would run in the same setup that I drove out of the car yard. I spoke to another BF turbo owner who ran a 12.7 with just intake and generic tune. It is amazing how much these Turbo's respond to mods. I am looking forward to having a 12 second car soon.

So how does it feel to be driving a 10 second street car? Pretty awesome I imagine.

I made my 1st pass (when i say 1st pass i mean 1st pass), 16.395 @ 140kph. 2nd run still poor but alot better was 15.773 @ 146kph, both runs with traction control on... forgot. 3rd run... traction off was 16.1 but masses of wheel spin. Im going to sort out a few mods and then have another go. I also was running 20psi in my rears, perhaps a bit too low

Doogstar · 31-05-2008, 03:18 AM

Hey Dan, that was an excellent first time racing mate. You seemed like you were having fun, so are you hooked?

20 psi was fine, perhaps some better rubber might help next time or perhaps a small burnout?

We will go up to Heathcote and have a go there, it's SO much better to race there.

yabby6 · 31-05-2008, 03:30 AM

Had a good time tonight!

Well done Doug, and SIKBRO and Jelecevic, and anyone else who had more balls than I did and actually raced.

I'm keen to race next month if anybody is interested in going again though!

XTC 190 · 31-05-2008, 08:46 AM

Nice Doogs well done 13.6 straight off the bat, congrats to others as well, bloody raining here so dont think we have chance running tonite so your N/A record will hold for another few weeks

troppo · 31-05-2008, 09:14 AM

Congrats Doogs and Spooly, well done on great times.
And congrats Dan for popping your drag cherry

Doogstar · 31-05-2008, 09:54 AM

Hey Yabby, was good to meet you, don't worry about not racing, it's better to come take a look first anyway and get a feel for the place. Try not to get lost next time.lol

Don't forget to let me know when you are going and I will come along as well, I will take any excuse to race.

Thanks Stav, what you need matches for? don't turn to drugs mate :P

Thanks Jas, my NA record will fall and it will about bloody time when it does, I have no regrets at all.

Thanks Leon, did you get my recent PM?

31-05-2008, 03:23 PM

did any other na6's run last night?

EXR8ED · 01-06-2008, 02:17 PM

Doug, nice to finally meet you, nice pick up on the ride clean looking unit and impressive ET to.

10.8!! top job, sorry I missed it but when that prem dropped it's guts all over the place I didn't feel like sittin around for an hour for them to clean it up.

I will be back on the track next time out I expect and hopin to better my pb and keep it in one peice as well. Can get more practice in that way.lol

Doogstar · 01-06-2008, 02:41 PM

Thanks Glenn, was good to meet you too. I will be organising a B-series drag day at Haethcote sometime in the near future, hopefully you can come and have a run this time.

Be ther will bells on. Heathcote is a ****load better than Calder. Lot futher to tow the thing home though!

XRCIST · 01-06-2008, 03:15 PM

Was a great night guys, and Doug your car is a dead set weapon. Was really looking forward to driving mine but driving Jelecevics XR6 was alot of fun. My mate popped his drag racing cherry with his XT (Shockwave BA custom plates "RELAX") Ran 15.85 with a 2.73 60ft, just couldnt control the wheelpsin. Should run a low 15 with a clean launch.

Cant wait for a Heathcote meet, especially seeing as Calder will be closed for the majority of Winter.

Doogstar · 01-06-2008, 03:27 PM

Thanks George, I am a happy man.

At least you got to have a race, even if it wasn't in your car. Hopefully you can have your car fixed in time for the Heathcote meet? Any idea how long it will take to be back on the road?

XRCIST · 01-06-2008, 04:14 PM

Speaking to insurance company tomoro. Hopefully 2 weeks and it will be as good as new

Doogstar · 01-06-2008, 09:17 PM

That's good news mate.
