By the time I got off the hot mix I was well in 2nd and the Nittos held fairly well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletime Donating Members 937 Member For: 13y 3m 9d Gender: Male Posted 09/11/13 10:38 PM Share Posted 09/11/13 10:38 PM Mate well done, I wanna do one of these too, I was there last year spectating and it was cold as f.uk! 12 degrees but 4 with wind chill, so 30 is pretty epic lol. I thinks Kevs gtr had the fastest time of 19-20 seconds. Most factory cars last yr seemed to do about 26-27 altho I did hear ppl complaining of the surface being too loose to get traction. Lambo diablo did a 25-26 if I remember right. Was a turbos v8 jeep Cherokee that smashed about 21-22 seconds, that thing was epic. So I guess to hit top speed even a 1000m event isn't enough then. Guess you gotta have a mate with a private road or go to the NT now they have unlimited again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRK Member 361 Member For: 12y 4m 5d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 11/11/13 12:00 AM Share Posted 11/11/13 12:00 AM Excellent result! A middleweight took it up to the heavyweights! The limiters - easy enough to remove via aftermarket software. The workshop I go to said 230 for the factory turbos and 250 for the FPV jobs it seems.There are some great stats floating around the web on the 400M versus 1000M final velocities. Wind conditions are very important but ignoring that - It seems for anything that is a bit quick(12 second 400M cars) you can basically add 47 - 55 KM/hr to the 400M terminal speed to see where you might be at 1000. So, those of you that are running 190 at 400M will see 240+ at 1000M. Once again, the famous 60 foot times help.{A bit of physics... speed / power is a basic cubic equation for drag-affected objects ( at sea level with a constant drag coefficient) and that means twice the speed needs eight times the power.} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
