Night Drags

Post by Donovan » Wed Nov 13, 2013 8:42 am

Anyone going to the night Drags this Friday, going to try and get my car down there, got some sticky 235 rubber for the rear so hopefully helps my traction problem, and see how I get on in the NA class.

According to the first round results, looks like they have combined the NA and the Rotary classes together.

Have to try and learn how not to bollocks up the start.

Even with 235's on the back, I still don't think a hard launch will put the driveline at risk, will just create a whole lot of smoke from the tyres and shred them up. Still guessing traction is going to be my biggest obstacle, that and having over a .5sec reaction time

Yeah... Even with racing slicks, I can't see 235s doing much more than just lighting up with a hard launch..
