Crail Raceway Sunday 22nd

[22B]

Did any of the RS4s make it down the Dragstrip??

Oh and 22B why have a supercharged car if you're not going to accelerate hard? I guess you never pull away quickly from a light or at an on ramp for an expressway? I'm being sarcastic of course. I know you push the car. People are just too intimidated by the Dragstrip and everyone fills everyone else's head with takes of horror and woe. "you'll surely destroy your clutch if you run!!!" . BOLLUCKS!

The Dragstrip isn't all about 6000 rpm clutch drops. You can, in that TTS monster, pull away like you would in a spirited fashion from a green light, then just rip through the gears. If Danny went 11.4 @ 125 at the pod (well, his car did with MRC driving anyway) a soft, clutch friendly launch would produce something like 11.75 @ 126. At Crail you would likely be even quicker. That would be more than fun, and enough to destroy just about anything you face unless it was nearly purpose built and running race fuel.

Shame... I think you'd find it intoxicating in that car.

Hmm, looks like I'll have to give it a go then. To be honest, I might have had a go but I wasn't prepared to queue for 25 mins just to get a run. I know nothing about drag racing and have never been on a dragstrip but after watching some of the other cars launching and the times achieved, an 11.75 sounds more than optimistic with a 'gentle' launch but you seem to know what you're talking about re drag strips.

One of our guys (mike?) had a couple of runs after having his car remapped by Revo, he did 13.2 best time/105mph

It's definitely not that tough in our cars but you just need to know a few basics. I started a thread on another site with some of the things to keep in mind to help first timers. I will paste it over here. If you had to line up for ages, that sucks. Since you were there for a show it would have been super busy. Generally it's not that bad most places, especially as the cold weather sets in and the RWD and FWD guys get scared off because they just spin their tires all day.

Santa Pod would be fun to go to but your profile says you're in Scotland, so it's hundreds of miles from you even if you live in Annan. When I was in Annan last summer, I didn't see too many RS4s lol.
