Friday night DRAGWARS 4th Nov

[TLDV8]

Dunno if you guys have been to meremere nightdrags before,fucken slippery,the whole season I only ever ran a 10.5,usta wheelspin all the way thru second......last time I ran the turbo it spun in 5th gear even....60' times in the 1.5s....

Thats why i thought consistent 10.1's my mate did on the 98 R1 was pretty good,that was at the night drags with wheel spin most of the quarter and plenty of sideways action..he won the overall season but can't remember which year 2000/2001? maybe ?..

Not Tim by any chance?

Indeed .. actually it might have been 02 ..i guess you know what happened when he got the itch being so close to the 9's and went lowered with the wheelie bar.

Yep,I was there that night....I'm pretty sure that was the season I took it out,I guess kinda by default eh.....
Many drag racers have told me since he shoulda had two wheels on his bar though.....
Was that your TL he crashed?

[TLDV8]

Was that your TL he crashed?

Yes,the Black one.. it was a accident,the main thing was there was no serious injury except where i might have stepped on Tim getting to my bike ( i was on his R1 and have to say the TL handled like a barge compared to it)

I'll be there. It would be interesting to see what the SV can do.
I've also got a cager mate that needs dealing to.

when i left round 11 a bike was still the quickest thing down the track!

Ehhh bit of a dissapointment actualy. There weren't many bikes entered at all. 4 kiwi bikers arrived too late to get scrutineered as they had got their 250 entrants quota already. So it was cars, cars, cars. Only saw about 6 bikes go up the strip. A hayabusa, aprilla, zx10, tl1000, a drag customised hayabusa, cb9hornet. To be honest the times were pretty average for the bikes mostly in the 12's and the special hayabusa getting into the 10's, though I think it could have done a lot better.
Still the turnout was huge, looked like most of the teenage population of west and south auckland was there. Some nice fireworks and the weather was fine. Just a bit boring watching honda civics etc getting 15's.

One thing I didn't understand is that one of the classes had staggered starts for each lane. Must have been a handicap system or somat, how does that work?

C6 = DYO or Dial Your Own. Yes, it is a self-handicapping system. I won't go into the details, they do explain them on the nightspeed website.
Saw you ride past, but you probably didn't recgonize my cage.
Also saw a certain 'chk' on a 'busa zoom past me at mach 2 near Takanini...tut, tut ;P
