Sepang Drag Battle September 2004

[seven]

Hi Guys,
We must also not forget that these timings are not inclusive of the tarmac at Sepang and other drag strips. Wat I understand and learn from a regular guy that has been hitting low 9's to high 8's in his Silvia in Australia, is that their drag strip is solely used for drag racing, and before any drag events, a fine spray of "sticky" substance will be distributed onto the tarmac. That's why you see a huge lorry with a canister going thru the strip first. And if you place you hands on the tarmac after that, you'd have difficultly pulling back. That's when you'll see the rwd cars hitting faster timings then the 4wd's. And that's where all the hoosier and m/t tires can be fully utilised. That's when you'll start seeing lots of wheel stands, and wheelie bars.

So, when we hit 9 seconds 1/4m timeslips in Sepang, we should be able to go deep into 8 sec 1/4m on Australia drag strips if the drive train does not break and engine does not bog down. The same goes for all classes and speeds achieved thus far at Sepang.:D

True. These are some of the problems the drag cars face in the actual drag strips. Transmission problem and extra load on engine. But from wat I see, some of the local guys are using ford 9" differential's and thicker drive shafts, which should be adequate for a drag strip tarmac. I understand the guys from thailand have their drags on normal tarmac also, and there was this particular 9sec car from US that went there to compete. But came out only 11+sec. How bout the Jun Hyper Lemon car? When Mr Koyama went down to PG to perform? The car was going sideways. They even brought the car down to s'pore's carpark sprint and it was going sideways instead of straight. But nonetheless, with those timings we are achieveing in sepang, we can well hit in the low 9's or 8's with a proper drag strip and transmission.
