1/4 Mile Times

[Fab_R]

I don't get it Fab. I have seen that thread but that slip could be for any car. I just don't understand why the video has been cut on such an awesome time and no comment from guy. Particularly as they have posted other complete videos with times in the past.

Zoomda, the time is for Guys car indeed...it's not someone else's.

Re the video, you don't need a video to prove the time that has been run.
It's a bonus.

I'm sure Guy would be happy to post the unedited vid if it is that much of a concern.

Correct - that is the best video, the video camera battery died as there were 3 major oil downs & the track was shut for yonks (and camera left running). If you are facebook members there is a phone video on face book and a time update from drag photos.com.au https://www.facebook.com/APRAustrali...14824338528403

The car has now run 15 runs in excess of 130mph - here are some from two weeks ago when we were dialling it in:



P.S. - you can line up the car numbers from the date with the dragphotos.com.au site - no problems there. No issue posting, but it was nice to have 5 days off with the family - at least once a year

Zoombda, you are welcome to pop into our office, there is a truck load of video's, Go Pro's etc - you can even sit in THE car for fun. We have not finished yet, we may go back to the track with some better ideas on how to get it off the line....

Actually Zoombda - I see you are from Brisbane - send me a PM & you are welcome to come out next time we run & check it for your self (bring a video camera please!) - we have been toying up hiring the track for a VW / Audi day soon.

Thanks Guy, the reply is appreciated. I think my work has caused me to have a suspicious mind so it was hard to not question it

60' was good enough.
Trap speed?
Diet?

Trap speed was down due to the 35 degree heat, oil soaked air filter and stale Sunoco 260GT+ fuel... easy fix..

Weigh could have been shed, but again a lot of work.

60' was good, that was the result of stepping of the clutch at 6500rpm... lower pressure and more revs would have killed the clutch if i had done another launch.
