Ok so I have spoken about this to the guys at CHE and we had abit of a laugh about it so I thought I would share it with you guys to see what we come up with.
The "195 Drag Challenge"tm* would run something like this.
1.All cars MUST run the stock profile that comes on a base model Commodore or falcon spare wheel IE:195x65R15
2.There would be 2 classes -12sec cars and +12 sec cars.
3.Your "Dial" time would be the time your car your car runs most of the time. IE:My ute will run 11'6 most runs so my time to aim for is 11'6 and the closer I get the more "points" I get or something like that.
4.There would be no real winner more just bragging rights for the skill of winning the "195 Drag Challenge"tm*.
Thats about all the rules I have come up with so far but I think you can see where I am going with it lol.
The point is how well you can peddle the car not just mash you foot to the floor and point it down the deep end.
Now I know most of you are going to think WTF is he nuts and the answer is yes..but that is another matter altogther.I have had the a set of RE55 195's on the back of my ute for a few weeks (before the gearbox made the bad noise) and you would be shocked how much grip you can get out of them if you roll on the gas an dont just mash it.I may only have 300rwkw but I get more grip from the 195's than I do my 17's or even my 18's for that matter.
So post up your idears of how we can make it more fun or better and we will see what we can come up with.
*tm meens totally made up:)
