Videos/Photos: 1/8th Mile Drags in Wellington, NZ

2Hot2Handle


Had a pretty darn good time. Put in some good runs from 8.9 up to 9.1 in the 1/8th mile street sprints in Wellington City. Still running the vq30de. Raced everything from VW's and Volvo's to Sti's, 3000gt's and a Porsche Cayenne turbo.

-------------------Maxima vs Subaru WRX STi-----------------------

I raced an STI for the first time and had to race him twice. Each run I ended up making a mistake from missing 3rd to just flat out stinking off the line and the lights. Even with a perfect run I would have been destroyed, these bloody cars are way to quick. EVL AS (car in photo below) runs 12.4 in the 1/4 mile.



Video - Man these cars just flat out haul ! I wonder if I could have did anything else in the run wrong ? Still wouldnt have helped me out, STI > Maxima. I was rolling around during staging, lol ! Chariot must have been afraid and trying to get off the track, then totally missed my 2nd to 3rd shift and coasted through the finish line. Video still captures how quick the sti is off the mark !

Nice runs! In the video with you against the volvo, what's that car that gets in line behind you? Looks pretty badass.
