NEXT PDNR DRAG NIGHT - ROUND 3 - Saturday August 26, 2006

OK, you've got a month to plan your schedule.

As far as I know, you can run any car (that's almost PDNR's motto!) - but not just any car can get down the strip fast, especially if it's engine is something really special. Traction and handling are a big problem for some - last time, there was a 1/18 with brushless that launched so hard off the line it went 2' in the air instead of down the straight! The car was probably capable of 80+kph, but had a quickest of 55kph and that was airborne across the line!

So if you can get someone with a well setup car to run your engine then that would be best for your engine's reputation IMO Or maybe try a 1/8 pan car, they should have a little less risk of handling issues IMO.

I'll probably be there as a spectator. I haven't raced at PDNR for almost 2 years myself, but I don' think I've missed a drag night ever

Cheers!
Graham.
