Kearney Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Just exactly how many TT's , big singles and N/A's are going? Interested to see how many of each there is going to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 How about we distinguish the TT category by peak boost, and rely on everyones honesty, not for prizes or anything just for comparison on a table of results...? If you want to spend all day trying to tie up Reg plates to specs that are only partially listed on this forum, while the results are coming in every 40 seconds then feel free Otherwise, No, not on the day. Peak boost at Pod is *far* lower than on the road, and almost no one is going to be looking at their gauges while going down the track. Drag racing is all about controlled launch and gear change timings, grip, geo, etc. boost is fairly irrelevant when it comes to TT setup.

Well thats me told then, I didn't mean on the day something people could list the day after or something. But your right there would be to many variables.

But your right there would be to many variables. We'll post something up here after the event, but as always it's limited to the information people supply. Some never tell - we've been there before with many previous events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
