Unofficial Toymods Drag Day {brissie}

Sat, 24 April 2004 06:14

i wanna organise a toymods drag day soon, we'll hold it during a normal Street Meet

the way they are run is:

gates open at 2
qualifying starts at 2.30
racing from 6

i fu dont wanna actually race then u dont have to, u can just do grudge matches with someone u wanna run.

with pro drag racing it doesnt matter whether u have a 18 sec car vs a 9 sec car, its all equal.

Quote:

Basically, all racing at Willowbank, with few exceptions (which we'll tell you about later) is conducted on some form of handicap racing. These are 1. "Dial-your-own" handicaps. Roughly 90% of drag racing uses this system and if you are a newcomer to drag racing this is all you probably need to know about to start with.

"Dial-your-own" simply means that you nominate your own handicap time. This gives the slower vehicle of a race a physical head start, which is programmed electronically into our Electronics 2000 Timers. To stop someone nominating a time they can run a lot faster than, thus giving an unfair advantage, a "breakout" rule is applied. Put simply, if you nominated 14.00 seconds for your "dial-in" and ran 13.99 or faster in racing you lose the race. But if your opposition does the same thing the timers award the win automatically to the person "breaking out" by the least amount.

This is known as a "double breakout".

going to a street meet is better than a test and tune casue there is about 3 more hours in the day and when racing {eliminations} start, ppl get the shits if they lose and fuck off home. and there is usually some heavy hitters too

the next street meet is the round 8 of the street series,

all u need is a long sleeve shirt {jumper} and a helmet, they scrutinise the cars at these events, so make sure your car is road worthy, i.e., secure battery, no leaks, over flow bottle connected.
and bring some tools, if and when u break shit, unlike those weirdos in Dubbo u dont need a tailshaft loop.

anymore questions dont hesitate to ask.
