[debacle-racing]

gday, is anyone here into drag racing?

[XAC15T]

Yep :)

[Grumpy Rooster]

Yep. BTW, I'm batteryman on Dragster.com. But don't hold that against me. :)

[debacle-racing]

do you race?

[debacle-racing]

Yep. BTW, I'm batteryman on Dragster.com. But don't hold that against me. :)

whats the go with all the chook lingo (rooster, battery?)
is your sirname fowler?
hey grumpy, this site is piss funny, bit more laid back than the other forums.

[Grumpy Rooster]

The batteryman nic is because I work for a battery company here in Sydney. My wife calls me a grumpy rooster so that's how I got that name.

That is my mate's All Motor drag Civic. That pic was taken on the night that I raced it back in January of this year. I help out with the car other times. Best time so far 11.92 @ 114mph, 1.72 60'. That time was done at Compak Attack a few weeks ago.

What about yourself? Where's the pics and specs of your car? :)

[debacle-racing]

ive seen that car.
11.92@114, impressive. all motor, no turbo right?

Nice times. Would probably run a 9 with the tail gate down though

[debacle-racing]

it doesnt make that much difference, its just extra weight.
it looks better with the tailgate, tarp, passenger seat and extra harness.

[debacle-racing]

[XAC15T]

Heres my nugget (12.4@114mph)... will be deep into the 11s within the next couple of months ;)

[debacle-racing]

12 second pass, top stuff.
must be making good power with the mph you have.
how much grunt is it making??

[2ofdem]

I run 18.9@76mph in my Merc.
Suprisingly im actually a big(in alot of ways ;) ) drag racing fan.

[XAC15T]

12 second pass, top stuff.

Only about 185fwkw at the moment... Should be close to about 250fwkw for Jamboree in August :)

yeah, bud did you rip off a good skid tho??

[debacle-racing]

Only about 185fwkw at the moment... Should be close to about 250fwkw for Jamboree in August :)

that should definately put you into the 11's, i reckon your going to have trouble getting it off the line.

[Grumpy Rooster]

ive seen that car.
11.92@114, impressive. all motor, no turbo right?

Yes. All Motor is the same as Unblown in Pro Street.

The car weighs 790kg without driver. It only makes 130kw at the wheels from a near stock H22A Prelude engine. 3rd fastest All Motor FWD in the country.

Their fairly stout numbers yourself for such a heavy lump. Will be good with the new engine with a few more cubes. :)

[2ofdem]

yeah, bud did you rip off a good skid tho??

:yup: Wasnt too bad actually.

I have gone

11.7 @ 126 VL turbs not my car
12.6 @ 117 Old tonner
13.8 @ 105 180SX.

[oxy]

12.6 @ 117 Old tonner

For some reason I always thought your tonner went quicker than that. Looks like I chopped you

[XAC15T]

that should definately put you into the 11's, i reckon your going to have trouble getting it off the line.

Yep, will have plenty of trouble getting traction... but thats FWD for you :(

[Calibrator]

A car I have recently started tuning.
Runs a CA18DET moved back about 0.5 metre last time out was a 10.71@209.8km/h
320 kw@1.8bar

[Grumpy Rooster]

What engine is going into the 1200? An SR with all the fruit?

[2ofdem]

Nah 12.6 2.1 60ft and yeah the XY would have chopped it back then.

[Fondles]

yep am into teh drag racing, locked away in my old mans shed i have a modified altered ran best of 8.80 at eastern tip before it was closed and has sat ever since ( might be coming out of retirement to run roger lmao)

since moving to queensland in the late ninties i was heavily involved with simon holgerson and his nastybug team which is now defunct and both cars are parked up and for sale thankyou very much ANDRA and your stupid body rules in outlaws..( that and the fact we lost our sponsor with woodstock bourbon.. owner of company was killed and wife sold the business we got the flick)

[Calibrator]

What engine is going into the 1200? An SR with all the fruit?

Yep SR20DE with a Skyline gearbox. It allready has a Alfa LSd with discs all round and traction bars.

[TK]

Yup, I'm TKnight on Dragster.com
Not racing due to no track in Adelaide, hopefull that'll be remedied soon.
Work bus is HX tonner with spare parts red headed 388 holden stroker, 3000 stall, t350 & 3.5 geared lsd 9".
Makes 344hp atw & should be good for a low 11 - but I'll have a bit of a wait to find out.
Currently working on a twin turbo, intercooled & injected setup for it, so I may not end up running it NA - depends how long the TT setup takes.
Also got a full tube chassis fiat 850 sport coupe set up for SBC & glide, will probably run in A/Gas - but that's a long way off completing, not touching it till we have an Andra strip, there's just no point.

I've run a few streeters in the past, all low buck beaters - nuthin worth mentioning, but I haven't raced for a good 2.5 - 3 years, getting a bit upset about that.

Maybe this should be in general?, mods?

[debacle-racing]

no track in sa = fucked. wsid is a 5hr tow for us aswell. thats also fucked.

[DATZED]

Yes. All Motor is the same as Unblown in Pro Street.

Hot shit! 130kw on 800kg and it does an 11.9! That thing must hook up brilliantly.

[Grumpy Rooster]

130kw at the wheels remember. So estimate about 175kw at the fly.

[Eeyore]

That's one stout Clevo you have there debacle! Top skid too! :D

[2rismo]

WSID - 7th of Feb this year - Testing the auto and driving like an amateur trying to watch too many things at once! :D

GOOD: Launching without wheel spin, how hard the 3-speed shifts, screamer pipe

BAD: Slippery as hell converter, driving like a monkey!

Video (http://www.cacklingpipes.com/videos/temp/2rismo/070214%202rismo.wmv)

Adrian

** edit ** converter now fixed and picked up 5mph straight away - all racing on street tyres - no transbrake althoug it sounds like it on the 2nd pass (that's how loose the converter was :() - driver also not driving like a monkey any more - ECU change to SM4 on the go right now too.

[Bermo]

Debacle, I run a Alloy headed 393 in my XY, was dyno'd at 502.2hp (engine).
Mine is only a solid camed street car though.

I am yet to run it at WSID because I have no tyres for it so it wont even stall up on the convertor (4500rpm) :(
It should hopefully run an 11 once I get some tyres and head out to WSID.
Although I am tempted to just go out there one day and see how bad the wheelspin is...

[debacle-racing]

i have some 28x10.5 slicks with a couple of runs left in them if you would like to give it a run. you will need 15x8's or bigger rims.

[debacle-racing]

That's one stout Clevo you have there debacle! Top skid too! :D

it was only making around 400 hp at that stage. it now makes 450 with the 2v 357 cuber.
393 on its way!!!

[Bermo]

Man I would love some tyres, even if they only have 1 run left in them.
Next time you head down to WSID give me some warning and I will try and organise some rims to fit!

Will pay with beer + coke + hookers!

[debacle-racing]

hooker will be fine. thanks.

seriously, no probs.

give it a shot of gas.

[bigmuz]

One of Frank Halwey's gas Dragsters. 454/glide.

[jampac]

11.423@118.94mph with a 1.587 60ft done at WSID last week.

3784lbs, 2.5L single turbo, stock internals engine running up to 25psi of boost.

[Grumpy Rooster]

That's tuff Jampac. Well done. :yup:

Your Soarer is almost double the weight of the Civic. :p

[morerevsm3]

give it a shot of gas.
the plan is for a twinscrew to make its way in there one of these days

[Dansedgli]

I like drag racing. Haven't gone in ages though.

The last car went 11.81 at 120mph. It was a turbo AU falcon.

I'm putting together an EA with a turbo BA motor this time. Hopefully it will be racing soon. I want to run a 9 by sometime next year.

[debacle-racing]

get a cage in it then.

[Brent]

Just a quick question for the few guys here brave enough to say that they are drag racing fans.
What is the fastest anyone has gone down the quarter mile.
World record ET and MPH.
Jet powered does not count.

[Fondles]

fastest 1/4 mile was run by Kitty O’Neil E.T: 3.235 @ 412mph in 1977,
she was piloting a hydrogen peroxide fuelled rocket dragster.


i think tony schumacher has the fuel record somewhere around 4.4 not sure of the mph though

[bigmuz]

http://www.nhra.com/stats/natrecord.html

Top Fuel ET: 4.428 11/12/06 Tony Schumacher - Long Grove, IL Pomona, CA
Top Fuel Mph: 336.15 05/25/05 Tony Schumacher - Long Grove, IL '05 Hadman R.E.D Hebron, OH

Oh, btw, that's 541 km/hr :D

[TK]

fastest 1/4 mile was run by Kitty O’Neil E.T: 3.235 @ 412mph in 1977,

Fark that.
Thats 0-660km/h in 3.235 secs.
Got a G suit?

There was a few freaks running peroxide rocket powered karts may years ago, I think 4 were built, they got banned coz 3 of them killed their drivers.
If they were pointed straight up that's the direction they would've gone, only thing stopping them getting airborne was a couple of wings for downforce.
I read an interview with Rosco McGlashan (speeling?) who had piloted one at 1/4 thrust - his comment was it just went WHOOSH & fucked off.

TK

[HSVSUX]

my circuit vlt went 11.5 at 120 a few years ago on low boost...... :(

[KanaL]

I spose the 3.2sec peroxide pass wasn't captured on a camera?

That would be fucking impressive to watch.

[10sec_rx7]

i like drag racing

went 10.95@125 back in 1999 or 2000

my ute went 11.1@127 a few months back :)

[RICE_MOBILE]

I did a 12.8 @ 110Mph in my FWD lancer a couple weeks ago on street tyres.

[hellbent]

vtss... big cam, stock heads, stock stroke ls1.
5k stall, 4.11 gears

full weight.... minus spare, jack, rear spoiler......runs on et street radials.

11.41 @ 118.58 with a 1.56 60ft
will be 2/10ths better at the next 7/11 willowbank......bigger stall and weld wheels.

Cheers for the answers and links.
The old rocket rail video is a classic.

As for Tony Schumacher...
Fuck those things go even faster than they look.

aaar, that is fuckn spastic and stupid. i want one.

[TURBO]

yeah drag racer here too..

my galant went 13.53 @ 106mph + 10psi and 42 hp shot ( 1st ever pass,off the trailer, full street trim and untuned)

Best run was 13.49 @ 105mph, with wheelspin an issue. The best it got to 60ft was a mindblowing 2.03 :lol:

Got a pair of 26 x 8.5 x 15 M/T slicks to run on it in august.

Has the speed for a 12 second pass, and with the slicks, and a touch more nos, it should see it easily!

Drag racer here also.

http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67218679

Living in adelaide is a bit average for racing though.

best was 10.2@140 over a year ago.

Currently sorting a bit more power (should be 1000+ hp)

[ALLMTR]

Drag racer here....well I was. Last pass was at the Old EC 12.8 in a Na FWD Civic......god I miss that car :(

[ROYALBLUE]

i'll be the outcast.. 11.34@121mph - K2 GSXR600 hoping for 10.99 or faster with a better launch (only did the 1 run) with the new gearing, K+N filter, PC USBIII and a bit more confidence.

[Grumpy Rooster]

Drag racer here....well I was. Last pass was at the Old EC 12.8 in a Na FWD Civic......god I miss that car :(

Atleast its being used for its intended purpose. If only the bloody thing would slow down a little. :p

[2JZR31]

I like the drags. I don't really "race" yet. I just like modifying my car in the pursuit of quicker and faster times.

My car is a R31 with a 2JZ, best time is 11.4 @ 125 with a 2 second 60 foot time. I am hoping for mid 10's at 130 with a bigger stall, more boost and more traction. The trick is not getting kicked out of Willowbank.

[Jim]

so...are you allowed to compete in homebuilt specials like you can with motorkhanas? You know, tube frame weird things and so on?

[ALLMTR]

Only if they are slow (I think)

Anything quick (12.99 maybe) has to be teched

[XAC15T]

Yep S/ST has a cutoff of 12.99 :)

[Bill Surewood]

I’ve recently taken my 2JZGTE Toyota Aristo out to the drags.

With a 3900lb race weight (1780kg) it ran 12.9 @ 113 (2.1 60ft)…. New converter & valve body (still stock) I can’t see why it would not run a mid to low 12.

Given weight and MPH it would be making around ~375rwhp….. I’ve spend $730 in mods from standard.

I’m actually pretty confident I’d pick up some more MPH as well as my last couple of runs the sparks were fowled (cold night & cold plugs, gapped too small as it turns out) so I turned the boost down….. Still ran 113mph on 2psi less boost (as early runs were done with a heap of heatsoak).

[2JZR31]

13's are so 2005

[debacle-racing]

Man I would love some tyres, even if they only have 1 run left in them.
Next time you head down to WSID give me some warning and I will try and organise some rims to fit!

hey bermo, i will be at the t&t on the 22nd, do you want those slicks??
pm me your number and we can organise it.

cheers, justin.

I took my nugget back out to the track on Wednesday night .. ran 11.7 @ 127 mph (pump fuel, street tyres).

I think I need to work on getting off the line.
