Santa Pod Jan 31st
Anyone going from here? Will be my first time at a drag strip, just wanted any tips/hints.
I'm running a 98 STI mapped by Andy Carr. Running 1.2 bar and around 360hp (I think no dyno as of yet).
Also what times should I be aiming for?

I will add I also no longer have ~75+ kg of weight in the car. No rear seats, boot lining, door cards, roof cards spare tire etc etc!
edit* thought I do still have the rear spoiler. unfortunately for me the looks outweigh the fact it weighs a ****ton

Good spot!
Some very varied times on the list, just goes to show the skill level needed to get the car to accelerate to it's true potential. I can't imagine how 10s must feel, it must be the greatest feeling in the world. Or scariest!
I think a low 12 sec Lambo is the quickest car I've been in

I'll be there, never done 1/4 mile before so will be interesting. I had a look at the 1/4 mile leaderboard post on here and it appears power to weight + the driver make a lot of difference.
1 thing I am curious about is how the 6 speed uk box in mine will affect times as I believe I'll be in 5th over the line which is a lot taller gear than the 1st 4? Anyone else running a uk 6 speed in a classic that done it?

You are going to be in 5th if you have enough power!

In those clips I think it was either 520 or 535, I can't remember if it was before or after the new turbo! The last clip against the 205 was on my "high boost" map at 550+hp

That's correct! I assumed theop was to have a 6spd too! I quite like the uk. Box in mine, it has a ***** 2-3 ratio mind, but you get used to it. For your power I wouldn't worry about using a uk box, however, if going to be using it like mine, do expect to break them, I've broken 2 now...
And why do jdm boxes carry such a premium over the UK boxes?
The money I could save buying a UK box could go towards a nice new turbo
