What you mean this (you) old rude Kiwi might actually get out of the car this time?

Funny, sitting in your fancy leather seat, talking on bluetooth through the iDrive while selecting 'D'. My, my how times have changed huh?

I'd expect to see the below as a view shot

Done Raj.
Can we set up some grudge matches.
Also Benny can we line up for a run? I know my car has nowhere near the potential of your Porka but it's all a bit of fun.
Where's that lusty character with his upgraded turbos. I wanna race his beast too.
I'll race your 335 Pete but I'll make sure to give you a full second handicap.

Thanks Ben I certainly need a lot more practice!
I must say I'm very impressed with the performance of the 135 and 335's on the night - mine was the slowest out there I think but it is 10 yrs older in technology I suppose.

For those interested this was the 2nd time I taken the E39 M5 to the drag slip, the first being back in 2004 when I first bought the car.
I wish I had of Read Kenny's drag tips before heading to the track, although his instructions would differ slighlty for getting the N/A car off the line.
here's a snap shot of my runs:

1st run was terrible at 2.39 60ft with a 14.468@104.3mph
2nd run was an improvement at 2.324 60ft with a 13.744@106.03mph
3rd run was better still at 2.218 60ft with a 13.321@108.06mph

Keen to get out again and see if I have the skills to better this.
I took one in car video which is not very exciting really but will put it up in any event.
Apologies for invading your forum!

cheers
Stu

1q2w3e4r · 05-24-2012, 02:56 AM

Haha wouldn't worry about it Stu! I got rid on my 335 a long time ago and still hang around

Raima · 05-24-2012, 08:11 PM

Keeping an eye out for weather. It says it's going to be partly cloudy.

One weather app says there's 80% chance of rain, but only 1 - 5 mm.

Will see how it goes. Getting car prepped tomorrow morning for drags on Weds

choppedliver · 05-27-2012, 07:38 PM

Looks even better now. Chance of a shower only which is ok.

I'm prepping by ensuring the car has fuel and the tyres are all evenly inflated :-).

Gates open at 4:30 and I'll be there on time I hope!

One concern that I'd like to ask the experience folk is how to do you warm up the gearbox/diff if you are just sitting around waiting for your turn? Is this a concern or not?

Thanks

Byron

Raima · 05-27-2012, 07:45 PM

Bad news gents. I'm out. I got something important to attend to.

All the best to everyone going. If it rains, I'll try again for next week.
