Entered my first drag race event a couple of weeks ago in my Skylines.

Can see the times (from one half of the board) in one of the below pics.

Was an awesome variety of cars there though and i had a great time. Bring on the next drags. :D :D

(will do more of a write up when i have time)

Man, I bet that was an awesome day. Look at the variety of vehicles. 👍

How did they determine match-ups? First come, first run?
 
cool, ya got consistent times :) im surprised at the lack of rice, usually they turn up to be beaten by everyone and be a general pain :lol:

got the bug to try and improve times now? :D
 
On the right...

A Triumph Dolomite Sprint? Any more pics of it? Looks like it's painted similar colours to the old British Touring Car Dollies:

Ok, its not legal, but so much cooler... I hope I'm not destroying this thread btw!

 
Good to see you back online dude. When did that happen?

Also, do you know who the Evo 6 TME belonged to?
 
Definately some cool cars over there. Good to see a Camaro in there. :D

Yeah it was an awesome day. Bit too hot though so cars may have gone better otherwise.

Yup, my cars were the last to arrive, so they got number 50 & 51. Although to make it easier since i was swapping cars each run they just gave me #50 for both cars.

I DEMAND MORE PICS OF THAT CUDA!!!

Now!! :D
Have one somewhere here i think: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v368/Mustang-man/Cars/Drag racing/
Thought i had more, as i've seen it racing heaps over the years.

Nah, rice burners here are too scared to put their cars into a LEGAL motorsport event. Can't afford the entry fee either most likely as they are always having to repair their cars/buy new tyres etc i'd say. ;)

And yes, yes i do. :D Just have to figure out a way to launch the GTS-4 better. Chucking it into neutral would damage stuff. And handbrake doesn't work as the front wheels just pull the car along instead. Ah well. :D

When did i get back online? Kinda have been a tiny wee bit one day each week for a while now when i stay at my girlfriends place. Go on it while she is at work (starts at 6:30am and finishes before 10am most days) but still don't really get time to do stuff. I can't even afford a landline phone at my place. :o

Not sure ay, but it was the second quickest car there with an 11.94 time. First quickest was the red EVO in the pic below. The Ferrari 599 was third quickest with a 12.20.
