Weekly Drag Series Week 4 + Results

I haven't had a chance to run this yet, but am looking forward to making a few passes. I'm tied into getting all golds on thelicense tests right now and will use the Buick Special as a break from the licenses..

You all have posted some great times to shoot for.

Yeah, I've been getting golds on the B license to win that Acura. Only a couple left to do.

Your avatar is much more...fitting now! lol

Getting much closer darkwind! I bet you'll get even closer.

P.S, My new screen name will be BCDSM next time I come on hopefully, so when you see BCDSM posting away about his times, dont welcome the new guy, its just me. :P
why not just PM a super mod or admin and ask them to change your name. then all your posts will be changed to under than name and you retain all of your account settings. It is easily done in VB. 👍

I wonder if they do that for people.... another way is to become a premium member.
 
Can't afford to pay for premium, and this is the only place I post, so all you guys know about the switch.

I will share some tranny settings once the week is done. :P :)

Cool.

Nice to see you, slo-car.
 
I'm with you there Foamy. If you use a DS2, you'll have to use the right analog stick to control the throttle. Never go full throttle off the line, it's not pretty. I'm still working though. Need a bit more work on the tranny.

I actually use the 'x' button for throttle, never really tried it with the stick.

Welcome, foamy :) You'll get the hang of it in no time.
 
How is it that I join your elusive club? :D If there is not a prelim qualifier, then expect a time from me soon.....

Welcome! No need to do any preliminary official entering, just run each week according to the rules in the first post and you're set :)

This week, however, serves as a qualifier for a tournament we will be running soon - it will be seperate from the normal WDS event, since it is single elimination.

I can't control the throttle with the X button. I lightly press the X button and it's all full throttle from there. :lol:
 
Take one of your dragsters for a spin on any course and you should learn decent throttle control after that... lol I imagine the oversteer to be insane!

haha, I bet

Get any time to put in a run?
 
Well...thing is...I'm trying not to progress my time in the game. It's July 4th in the game meaning I need to buy a special car for a special someone with a b-day on that day in RL. I know...a bit obsessive, but what can I say? lol I'll have run by tomorrow, but it won't be any good. No experience with drag car tuning or any practice.

That's a cool idea.... it'd be nice if special cars showed up on holidays

Yea i use DS2 but i'm not very good with throttle without TCS.
but hey maybe i'll have more luck next week

All I can say is keep trying :)

For my run, what I did was nearly full throttle and hit full throttle almost immediately.....once it gets up to 4 grand let off some and then as you approach redline hit full throttle again and shift into third. Takes some practice to do!
 
*cries* I can't make it! Damned PS2! Breaking at the most inopportune time!

...Bah, I'm not even gonna bother to fix it this time. Though I'd LOVE to get in the tourney....

Tough luck, man, that really sucks.

You can submit a qualifier time for the tourney at any time before I start it, which will be a while. At least a week.
 
You can still run the qualifier for the tourney if/when you fix/get a new PS2 :lol: to many /'s...

Nope, no better time here. Man... worst finish so far.
 
Oh, that saves me a ton of trouble then! Thanks kenny!

I can fix it, but it'll take me a good ten minutes with light. So that's a no-go right now seeing as it's midnight and I'm trying not to wake too many people up with the bright lights down here (POOR design for a house; no hallways almost; sound and light reflects all over the place!)
 
Yaye finally a win.

Ok, so me and my buddy do this when we have time, I do all the tuning, and we just go at er. Anyways, when we get a really good time we write down the settings, cause I change them ALOT so I'm PRETTY sure these were the right ones, like almost 99%, if not they're really close.

Tranny

2nd - 1.925
3rd - 1.473
4th - 1.237
5th - 0.934
Final - 3.0

Suspension

SR - 15/2
RH - 67/122
Bound - 10/10
Rebound - 10/1
Camber and Toe zero'd out.

SS in the rear, SH in the front

All the mods expect racing chip and nitrous, 845 HP on the dyno graph, very frequent oul changes and car washes.

The only thing I'm not sure on is wheter or not that time was with the Ballast at 200, or 130. Sorry.

With the perfect launch, you should be getting 6's, we only got 5's once and .603 was the next best, has to be a PERFECT run.

If someone wants me to post my two different launch styles, I guess I could, but for now I won't bother.

Where's the next car? It wasnt there when I started to type this. :dopey:
