Thread: TD5 Disco drag racing

Bloody hell

Saw a young lad in his mum's Marina, years ago at Adelaide. Put down a scorching 21.4, smokin' the exhaust all the way. Was beaten by a B61 Mack truck, that layed down a 14.1. Lovely big Gold truck.

But a TD Disco? Come on. That isn't even trying to be ridiculous.

Shorty.

Thats hillarious! Its the furthest from a drag car you could possibly get.

Maybe the cloud of black smoke interfered with the timing equipment.

I think it was a set up for the night.. A garbage truck beat it that night as well, mind you it was empty. It was such a funny sight, I still chuckle thinking about it.
But that big Gold coloured B61 was the real deal. Big quad turbo V12 Cat, when it launched, it lifted its front left wheel up to door step height, and made the most god awefull howling sounds from the big single rear tyres.

Now that's it, how much weight can a Disco carry? How big an engine can we get into one? Bah, more than enough to do this year as it is. If it ever rains!

Shorty.

cool, i might have to go test out what my V8 D2 does down the quarter now, i have a gtech here seems pretty accurate.

make it good cal415,,
Tombraider will be watching------

Years ago my stock Subaru Brumby did 18.69 at Adelaide. Slowest car on the day, beaten by a Gemini!

yea,, but I bet the Suby's still going

my '88 brumby is up to 250,000kays
still gets 30odd mpg, still requires no top=ups between oil changes, just come off 2 years of 90kays per day (av speed 110kph)travel without a single stoppage.
