Who is up for a drag!
I have finally got the last approval from ANDRA. It has been a bit of a process with getting licences, medicals and stuff.
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/P1090887.JPG All the safety gear, catch cans etc etc all checked and we are right to go. Weather permitting we will have a run at WSID this Wednesday afternoon. Any others want to have a go, perhaps show off some FORD muscle:3DSMILE: Phil |
Good luck Phil....
What tyres are you running??? Are you going to give it a giggle too, or just go aspirated to sort it out??? Just remember, a good ET is all in the 60ft - show the drivetrain no mercy ;) |
No Gas
HI Plums,
The laughing gas is about a year off, I have a goal NA that I would like to get first. I have a pair of Mickey thompson ET streets. The 60 foot times are the problem I really do not want break anything yet. Phil |
Do you have ET streets or ET street radials?? Those ET street radials are an awesome tyre and have the bonus of being able to run normal front tyres too!!! What size and cold pressures are you running???

Sticky Mickey
Plums
I have 275 40 17 ET street Radials I will start at 15 psi cold and see how that goes. Phil |
Philm
Good luck and have fun. |
Excellent choice there Phil, and a good point to start the pressures at too...
I can see some low 11 second passes if you can nail the short times!!! |
Target
Thanks Bernie,
Definitely will have fun, warm afternoons roaring v8s, there is nothing better. Plums, I am hoping to work towards a 10.99 NA within 12 months, the car has the power it is as you say all in the launch. This will be the first run with the 3.9 gears and the textralia clutch plate. should be interesting Phil |
I didn't know you'd gone down to 3.9's..... that could be the difference between low 11's and high 10's!!!
If you find it doesn't hook up **) , I'd drop a few psi straight away. I run mine at 10.5 psi cold.... I really hope you can nail that 10 second pass! |
yeh !
Might see you there Phil,
I'll try to get Lucky out there with the big GT, he'll race you |
I will try to make it Phil.

hi phil,
11.60 @ 119 mph was my best result (without braking diff & drive shaft) ran on a 235/50/15 street ET at 18 pounds cold, 60 foot was 1.54 sec. I had a good run at 4000rpm launches it was the 5400rpm launch that broke everything . have a good time ,catch me if u can regards Lindsay |
Hi Lindsay, Welcome to the forum. Good to see you finally found us.
I'm keen to do a couple of Friday night street meets at Calder over the summer if you're up for it. Do they allow open pipes on a Friday night? Cheers |
Softy
HI Lindsay,
The best I have done so far is as below, this is with the 3.45 diff. Air Temp 22c Rel Humidity 77 Abs Barrometer 29.98 Track Temp 42c r/t .586 60' 1.934 330' 5.140 660' 7.742 MPH 95.92 1000' 9.911 ET 11.761 MPH 118.48 Kph 190.68 I will try and launch hard tomorrow see if I can get the 60 foot time a bit more respectable. If I have done my sums right with the 3.9s I should cross the line in 4th at about 6900---7200RPM. Should be interesting Phil |
Hey Phil
Will definatly be there was just woundering if I drive my car do I have to part in public or can I park it near your pit area? Cheers from Greg |
My guess is you'll be crossing the line at 6300 - 6500 in 4th...
|
You should enter Greg!
Ben |
Don't know if they would let me run with no roll bar Ben?
