Went and had a run at the drag races at Western Sydney Intl Dragway tonight. Was a bit dissapointed with my times, but still had a great time, and earnt a bit of respect for the Micra along the way.
1st run. 16.865 @ 84.53 mph
R/T .160
60' 3.044
330' 7.569
660' 11.188
1000' 14.221
2nd run. 16.721 @ 84.20 mph
R/T -.111 (oops jumped the gun there![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
60' 3.035
330' 7.451
660' 11.096
1000' 14.133
Both runs were against a VL Commodore v8 which I beat off the line and stayed in front of. However his times were in the mid 15s? I think because the timing starts when your wheels move off the line and he was spinning on the spot for about 2 seconds.
3rd run. 16.336 @ 85.27 mph
R/T .276
60' 2.894
330' 7.212
660' 10.742
1000' 13.732
This run was against a Lancer GSR who ran a 13.579 and smashed me all the way.
I guess I was expecting in the mid 15s as per others who have done times. But then I thought that as I am currently running a std clutch, std flywheel, and std gear shifter, and I think others had JUNS fitted and better clutches and short shifters that this could make the difference. So i think these things will be next on the wish list. Plus I also raced with everything in the car. It was exactly the same as it is on the road. If I can find some pics I will post them up.
Cheers guys.
