Meremere night drags

**chickenfunkstar** · 27th February 2006, 19:27

Anyone planning to go down this friday? I'm looking to bettering the time which I set last time.

One of my friends thinks his silvia turbo will beat me down the 1/4 mile. I've bet him a bottle of whisky that it won't, so it's showdown time for me

Its the second to last meeting for the year, should be good fun.

on the 6R?

would be interesting to line you up then...

meremere be about the only place you can really open a bike up properly.

how did you find the launch? bit slippery? or all sweet?

and yeah, your mate in the silvia better be packing some serious mods. my mates silvia has just on 200kw at the rear wheels and its only just enough for 12.8... dont think i have ever seen a silvia crack an 11 - and i am down there quite a bit.

For all of you who are keen to get your bikes on the drag strip, don't forget to register for the stunts and dragwars day on 8 April. Motorbikes only.

well it would be good.

having never actually rung my bike out yet - it would be one hell of an experience.

I think its $25 on top of the $10 it costs to get in.

You should come.

Haha, my best time so far is a 12.9. Since I went down last time i've got more aerodynamic gear and a 2 tooth bigger rear sproket. Last time I was a little too conservative on the starts as it was my 1st time.

I doubt he's packing 200kw even at the flywheel although he'd probably be close. He's mentioned slicks but i don't think he'll get hold of any. It should be close but i'm fairly confident i'll win.

Kiwifruit - I think practice starts around 5 pm, racing starts around 9 and goes till around 11 or 12 or even later.

thats a little past my bedtime...
might just wait for the KB day

have fun drinking your winnings btw

most silvias with stock turbos (plus all the usual mods like exhaust, filter, boost tap and intercooler) go about 13.5 when driven reasonably well, so you should have him
