Post subject:  Tow Barge Racing

Pels great idea to go out and blow the cobwebs off was great but as all we had were the tow cars - we took those.

Pel had his new truck and I had my old Octvia

My first run was 17.4 @ 82mph - not bad for a Diesel Family estate. Then Pel ran a 18.4 against me but I ran a 17.1 at 82mph (messed up the gear change)

What I hadnt told Pel was that I had rigged a 60 shot of nitrous!

:omgrofl:
Dont think Pel was TOO pleased when he found out but it only took off .3 of a second!

The track wasnt good and the bottle was at ambient temperature (3.5 degrees Cee) so I had trouble launching and trouble getting nitrous out of the bottle. I also had NO controller or TPS, I just took power out the cigarette lighter socket to a switch - the ultimate in low tech easy to hide nitrous installs. :beatstick:

So the Skoda beat my new truck. But I had 5 passes against the Golf TDI and had him by 0.2 on both our PB's for the day :)

I got my 60 foots down to 2.4 seconds as well :D :D

Hmm - I think tow barge racing should become a regular season opener
However SOME tow cars should not be allowed (like a certain Fabia)
