djtimodj Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Guy's I know Im not in a supra but Im a bit of a supra fan and love some of the build threads on here so Ill post up some of my stuff! lol.. Guys today was great! Great weather and had such a good time. Andy J was not able to make it as it was his birthday Ill have to let him off! (happy Birthday mate! lol_) Soooo I was team nissansportz all on my own ......Me and Jess left our house at 7:30am got to Elvington for about 9:30ish and got signed on. While I was queuing up for the sign on I got chatting to a guy behind me who ended up owning a V8 200SX I've seen in magazines and at TOTB last year! We had a great chat and being a fellow nissan owner invited me to come and set up in the pits with the SXOC team! After signing on I had to get the car through the scrutineering, that was going to be fun! I dropped the car in the tech inspection area and 5 or 6 guys jumped all over it! lol.. The cheked wheels nuts, tires, under the bonnet, seat belts, you name it they checked it! Anyway it passed! ha... Next was the noise test! I had spoken to Dave Naxon about the fact it may not pass and he said he would get it through, the guy asked for 4K rpm to start with and he got a 99.1 dB reading! great, he asked for a 4.5K and got well over the 106dB limit so said "we will stick to the 4K reading then hey!" lol.... We had the driver briefing at 10:30am and the explained how the day would run, what class the cars would run in etc. I ran the Zed in RWD class B. Here's a few pic's taken off my phone. The driver brief on the starting line. The zed wearing its race number! Some of the cars that were running during the day! Scudder from the SXOC' super charged LS2 V8 Beast! The inside of the white R35 GT-R! Few more of the Zed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtimodj Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Jess and the zed cooling down! lol.. Few more shots of different cars that were there. Fully nismo built RB26 The BORG built by RIPS in new zealand. 500BHP GT35 Turbo top speed bike! Nicely built motor! Now for the results: I went for the standing 1K first! Runs: 1, 126.0mph just learning the track. 2, 153.0mph 3, 144.3mph 4, 154.7mph 5, 155.4mph 6, 155.2mph 1/4 mile, I did not go for any records as I don't want to kill my clutch and the surface is not anywhere near as good a santa pod so ill save the 1/4 records for the drag strip! Runs: 1, 13.51@116mph 2.45 60ft 2, 13.07@116mph 2.31 60ft 3, 13.07@118mph 2.42 60ft 4, 13.06@117mph 2.43 60ft 5, 12.82@118mph 2.27 60ft Handling circuit, never going to win this when the Dax rush with a cosworth turbo motors in my class! lol.. Runs: 1, 47.38sec 2, 46.92sec 3, 46.49sec Only had 3 runs on the handling circuit as it was busy and very hard on the brakes as there was no space to cool down etc. Im sure I could have dropped another 1sec off at least as some of the team SXOC guys had 10-12 runs and went from 50+ sec down to 42sec region! Also Very hard to put the power down! hahaha... Over all standings were: 2nd :#2: in the standing 1K in the RWD class, 5th in the 1/4 mile, and 11th in the handling!! Made up with the results as the only guy to beat me in the standing 1k was scudder from the SXOC in the 600+ WHP supercharged LS2 200sx! Few video's from the event! The handling circuit. Dx9sSQ1E7sw Some in-car standing K runs! -St9liH4lf4 0-159MPH Run mop4JG1nmo8 Great event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Nice car. I ran TOTB last year and had a great time. Its a really fun event to compete in but I can understand why spectators get bored easy. Was it busy this year? They picked a really bad weekend for it as there were too many other events on at the same time?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
