I've done the math and according to slip you both crossed the line at exactly 15.6900 seconds from the time the first green went (MYLJ had a 2.4 second handicap). That includes reaction times to.
Well there ya go, have a Torana event somewhere and something special will always happen, lol

Left Lane Dialled in at 14.8 and Right land dialled in at 12.4 seconds, the difference being 2.4 sec. So they get the Left Lane car to take off 2.4 second earlier than the right lane car. From there its all up to reaction time and consistency. the difference btw the two reaction times 0.7425 - 0.6065 is 0.136 so you add it to the take off gap of 2.4 to get 2.5360.
The Left lane car did a 15.0835 and the Right lane one did a 12.5475 and the difference is exactly 2.5360, which is why the ET difference shows up as zero, freaky huh?, they both passed the finish line at the exact time to an accuracy of one tenthousandth.
This rarely every happens.
The Whole idea of DYO is consistancy in ET and to get as close to your time as possible and hopfully pass the finish line first (which is up to good low reaction time)
Now, I'm only posting this up to help some people to understand how the Dial Your Own works ....
We had HEAPS of new people and thats why i tried to do some basic explainations at the beginning of the day and for the DYO stuff! I hope people understood my ramblings!
.... because I obviously didn't get it, I wasn't listening, I thought I heard words like "burnout", "fry them", "sideways", LOL, I thought it was a burnout run to see how much smoke you can get down 400metres, LOL, HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Nah, I just stuffed it and stalled it up too high (wrong advice from one of my mates) with no stall converter. Did anyone get pictures or video of it? That would've been some funny shit.

I also emailed Joanne at Heathcote yesterday, thanking her from everyone here for putting on a great day. I'm sure she'll love getting a copy of that timeslip too!

Yeah I saw it live Rick, that was a classic, had me in tears almost, still ran a mid 14 I think which I didn't think was too bad since it took about a second to actually start moving, and wheelspinning for about 100metres, lol.Did anyone get pictures or video of it? That would've been some funny shit.
As for the record, my Green LJs best was 14.8116 @ 93.26 MPH, this is with a 202, celica 5 speed, 3.55 banjo LSD and Yoko Advan A032rs. Will scan the slip this arvo.
Thought the best for the day was only 14.91, but after looking at a slip on monday where I thought it was only 15.4, I realised I was reading the wrong lanes ET (ie left lanes ET when I was actually in the right lane) , so that was a nice surprise.

Did that about a year or more ago. Link is in my sig.Lads. Would it be possible for someone to create a spread sheet of ET's and what engine/trans/diff ratio combos people were running? It would be interesting to see what a particular combo can achieve.
Cheers
