EFR Germany (Drag Racing)

[bryan6732]

Just wanna let everyone know I'm gonna participate at the E(uropean) F(un) R(ace) in Aldenhoven, Germany on April 9 and 10. It's quartermile racing for everyone, so 10 second cars and 18 second cars will be driving there! :lol:

Last time I went there was about 2 years back, when I still had my first Aerodeck (carb). Had a time like 17,8 secs.

Maybe some of the German members will be there too??

Oh, and of course I will post times and pics! :)

Best time: 17.31s
Reaction time: 0.75s
TopSpeed: 129 km/h
Driving Time: 16.55s

Track record was set by a motorcycle: 9.98s

So does your car have the B20 in it?

Edit: Never mind just looked at your thread. A20, which makes sense on that time. :)

So did you get any videos or pics from the event?

A20 indeed.. :)

Haven't made pics, forgot to! :(
I think there might be a few pics made by some of my friends. Haven't got them yet but will post as soon as I get them.

One of my friends hasn't been driving, so he filmed almost everything!
When he's finished with them I'll post them here...

very nice

i took my first 89 hatch back (all stock) to englishtown NJ Raceway park years back.

my et was 18.00 @ 80mph. I had a good 60 foot time but the hatchback i had was an auto and had a problem with 3rd slipping.

so from what i saw with your ET and trap speed, it sounds like the stock A20 ( idk with a manual or auto trans) is roughly in the mid 17's at best then?

Well, I'd say mid 16's is the best to get out of a stock A20. Just depends on how fast you can react (last time I was there there was some guy who put down a reaction time of 0.02 seconds, freak!! :lol:)..

haven't gotten to take the 3g to the drag yet.

The last 2 cars I did where rather slow.

16.9 *my 03 civic with no intake resinator, and no muffler/resinator, 5 speed*
18.5 *92 corolla bone stock. auto*

To see me challenge a friend's Opel Corsa 2.0 turbo (over 220 HP), skip to 2:50... Stayed with him for the first half, but when he stopped spinning he pulled away really far. :lol:

is that just a section of closed off hwy?

It's called "the film and test location", so it isn't a real highway but created to shoot scenes for German TV series. I know they do "Alarm für Cobra 11" there..

Second time I raced against the Corsa. This was my worst time of the weekend (17.8s)...

the reaction time is pretty quick, he jumped the light. It takes so many tenths of a second for you to react and then the mechanics to get set in motion.
also depends on the type of tree it is , like if it is setup like a pro tree where a .400 RT is perfect then jumping the light is a necessity

In fact you just gotta "jump start" then... Just hit the gas a few tenths earlier and you'll have a minimal reaction time...
