RUNAMUCK Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 The pegasus bay drag racing club are looking at holding a three meeting series over winter. No dates have been set in stone yet. They are looking at getting racers to pre enter for this series, and will not be running any of the winter meetings unless they have enough entrants to pay for the costs of holding the meeting. (In the past there have been dismal turnouts at some winter meets, and the club takes a loss.) So watch this space, or keep an eye of www.pegasusbaydrags.co.nz. Without particiapation, there is no drag racing. And with the DYO format, even eye wateringly slow cars can get good results. So the whole "oh but my cars to slow" bit is NO excuse.

EFI_LC Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 This is an excellent time for those who have never raced as its a really low-key and laidback race series. Important things to remember are as Bart said not how fast your car is and in fact most slower cars can actually have an advantage. Reaction time is not added to the actual time you run but this is where you can practice as if you run identicle times as the person next to you the driver with the smallest reaction gets to the line first and takes the win even though your 1/4 mile times are identicle. The clock starts when the staging light goes out and you get 3 lights before the green(go), most ppl go on 3rd light but this depends on how your car goes etc. I think I will enter my bog stock standard VK 3.3 carby car just to have a bit of fun as I am pulling my torana apart. Lets see a good turnout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 I think Clinton said it'll take around 25 cars per meet before it can go ahead. So tell your mates to get geared up for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 haha ok you got me. if someone could chuck up the requirements (overalls, helmets, fire extinguisher etc...) that would be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty_leppa Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 generally, its just a helmet and long shirt and pants. i dont think you need an extinguisher. mainly nothing loose in the car or engine bay and an overflow bottle is needed as they dont want antifreeze on the track. usually a coke bottle will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 sweet cheers. il have to jimmy up an overflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty_leppa Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 coke bottle and cable tie= WIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Yeh my rad doesn't actually have an outlet as such, just a hole beneath the cap. Will just jam some pipe in or something. Will be a good excuse to tune up the car and get it running better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFI_LC Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Civil licence Street Car needs a current WOF and Rego. After entry to the track line your car up at the shed and get it scrutineered As said overflow needs to be crimped, if its a bottle with outlet then tape the outlet. no overalls or extinguisher needed, just long sleeves, footware and long pants. For your own safety wear cotton if possible. good tires and overall make sure no bits are falling off the car if you need someone to ask when you get there either bart or me can help out....
