    Hawk at the drags

    For my first time out I had a lot of fun.

    Three runs, reaction time was pretty good on the second, but all the runs were round the 16 second mark and 90 mph, a little slower than I expected, but still a bit of fun. I don't know that I would go again unless I did some work, still it was fun.

    Edit: just noticed the videos are missing lots... will fix later when I'm awake

    Edit 2: Videos should be fixed now.

    i love doing 1/4 mile runs, broke my 1st gear on my last lot of runs.

    16.3 is my best to date, will try an improve that when i bring her to Oz.

    it's all to do with the take off, soooooo tempting to rev it high and dump the clutch hehehe

    Yeah, that was my problem with the second run, just a wee bit of wheel spin

    I don't know that it will go much faster, but then like I said it was just a bit of fun with some mates

    Fun is the main thing. What's the point in doing stuff like that if you hate it.
    What was the other car in your last run? Couldn't quite make it out in the video.
    Cheers,

    I was with the GMH - Torana boys, so I would have guessed a Torana, but since, from the bit I can see, it doesn't look like a Torana, I am going to guess it was the either a VL or the old skool Skyline one of the guys was driving (there was three of us in non Torana's in our lane).

    Here is my mates runs if your interested:

    Good to see a benchmark for others to see how they fare.

    What have you got other than your Lukey system Aaron?
