Bailey. Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) No not poor Mark, he must be going Mental, What's causing it bog down mate? Edited July 7, 2011 by Bailey. (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARETT Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 If it keeps bogging you'll need more boost on the launch control. Those 28" need a fair bit of boost to get of of the hole on a clean launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Home now, after I see mark Newman break his stock prop I never wanted to do the same to mine so gave up, I never ran the car after lunch, I'm just going to unload the car, also need need to think up some excuses why I never ran a 9 and I will be back, should have a video or two.

TheTurtleshead Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Had such a laugh at this today, who knew drag racing could be such fun! Cant wait to come to suprapod with something a bit faster than the old mustang. Sucks that you didnt manage a 9 Jamie, hopefully at the pod eh? Was good to meet some more people from the forum today, Pistonbroke, Jamie, Mark newman and Ryan G. I am continuallly pleasantly surprised by how most people here are geniunely nice blokes. I havent met a single nob so far, long may it continue! Roll on suprapod with my new sup!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 surely this car can run a 9? Gutted for Mark, he dont seem to be having much luck with this drag stuff... Jamie's car will do a 9 easy with a proper launch. Poor old Mark yes, it'll be bomb proof soon though once he has broken everything and uprated it all. Carbon prop coming soon...

JamieP Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) surely this car can run a 9? Gutted for Mark, he dont seem to be having much luck with this drag stuff... I could gve you all the excuses in the world Rob but at the end of the day i could not do it, First run felt good, small burnout, got a lot of wheel spin off the line but still did a respectable 10.4@143mph. I thought to myself i have got this in the bag easy, how wrong was I! Second run, massive burnout, hit it hard and it bogged badly, Ryan suggested trying the launch control out, i hated that tbh, every time it just bogged down, i stuck with it but it just bogged again and again, i was doing 2.5 60fts, i hate driver aids and i could just not get use to it. Then just before lunch Marks boy killed his prop, it just put me off trying any further tbh, i had some food, packed up and went home. Ive got a few things i want to change now, good test day for suprapod. Dont get me wrong, Im still over the moon with my new personal best, I drove there, did a 10.4@143mph and drove home again, How many uk supras do you know that can do that?, I WILL BE BACK See u there tomoro J Yes mate, i will be there, im not taking the drag wheels though.
