GTINI Drag Day Saturday 30th May.

[WSM]

I'm having the same thought... Would love to throw the M4 on to this but the sheer amount of rubber I'd spend would make it crazy

with traction control etc, im sure you would be grand.

4 or 5 runs and it'll be no worse than the same number of dashes from the lights. but more legal lol

If you know how to peddle a car, you should use barely any rubber ;-)

 

[WSM]

I'd rather use launch control and see if it's 'any good' although having read a few articles it's meant to be insanely aggressive... It's still tempting as hell !!

 

[56oval]

Bring yourself along, youd be surprised, walking it off the line then hitting it will reward you with quicker times than just guns out in a haze of tyre smoke. The 60ft is where you get rewarded or heavily punished the most. You dont have to be a hero to go quick and enjoy yourself.

 

[WSM]

You're selling it to me @56oval !! I could do a drag off with @mcma1 and his slow RS6

 

[56oval]

You could do a drag off with me and my slow beetle

 

[WSM]

Haha I'd only be going for fun. I'd not expect to beat anything

 

[56oval]

The fun factor is what its all about, great freinds, great banter and a big mix of machinery.

 

[Darragh]

The only reason I'm bringing Tyres is cause I tend to go nuts with burnouts and some sideways at the end of the track lol other than that Tyres should be fine

This. I had assumed unnecessarily long burnouts were obligatory

If your on slicks yes, if your on treads then a burnout gains you zero in the traction stakes ;-)

 

[Darragh]

I only done the burn outs to show off haha plus you won't loose your license so why not haha

 

[Artoir]

Yea, traction is going to be an issue regardless, see Darraghs post lol

 

[56oval]

Everyone loves a burnout.

 

[Neil@rockvale]

Be interesting to see the difference its made converting your supra to manual from auto. @Darragh

 

[Darragh]

@Neil@rockvale it should be interesting alrite however I've drove the car about 10 times in two years and havent had a chance to see how she launches although the last drive I did manage to get up the gears with out missing any so it should be great Craic getting the hang of the clutch

 

[WSM]

If @mcma1 or @Mark King go and bring one of the Spaceships I'll bring the M4.

[Mark King]

If @mcma1 or @Mark King go and bring one of the Spaceships I'll bring the M4.

If I go I'll be taking this old taxi

 

[stevieturbo]

Will it run out of gears before the end ? lol

 

[56oval]

If I go I'll be taking this old taxi
