Just got a bit chopped by an mk3(marone with chrome? 17's) you on here? Sun, 01 August 2004 12:40 Go to next message
Marone Ma70 with 17 inch chromies i think.. are you on here?, if so whats done to your car?

Was on my way home from willbo's tonight with a boot full of mz10 spares and pulled up next to an mk3 supra(i had no passenger, but ma70 had a chick in passenger seat)..
Took off from the lights, he got the jump on me and pulled just over a car length ahead straight off lights.
I managed as usual to get a shit start(bunny hopped off the line and then it bogged down and lost all revs, almost stalling) and then put too much throttle down and spin all the way through 1st also trying not to put too much strain on gearbox as its doing weird things.
got to half way through 3rd(using only about 6k rpm in each gear) before we backed off and he was about a car and a half ahead.
This is my 1st drag race with a car that has been half formiddable and it looked bloody nice too.
Id love to have another go at it once i learn to launch.

Good race Smile
I think my car would be faster if an equal skill driver were in each, he was obviously the better drag racer
I think i better practise some more Smile
