Tailem drift/drag/burnout day 9/9

Postby 09SR5 » September 9th, 2012, 9:26 pm

Took the force 6 to this and had a few runs on the 1/8th

Tailem is an unprepared track and traction is very limited. Run on street tires

Managed a few 8.4's at 90-92 mph with 2.2 60ft traction control off and basically steering the car to the end.

Best run was with air out of the tires and stalling the car to 10psi in 2nd and leaving the line with minimal wheel spin. car got wuite unstable in third gear with air out of the tires

That's an impressive 60' time on street tyres!

Need to get down to Calder, seems like your were having major traction issues once you got going.

traction control on helped but it spins then goes full throttle cut a couple of times. least my manji style drag race gave spectators a laugh.

I practiced 2nd gear launches a bit but getting a bit excited pushing the throttle through the kickdown switch meant it was boosting then popped to 1st before I realised. the 3.46 diff gears helped with 2nd gear take offs
