PGA @ WSID Drag Race

Tonight was the first time I’ve ever been to WSID (Western Sydney International Dragway) and it’s the first proper race event I have entered. It was a pretty surreal experience, starting from paying the entrance fee right until the final line up. I met up with some other PGA members once I gotten through the scruiteneering stage, had a chat and we finally went to line up. Below is my car all prepped and with my entry number on.

Race Preparation

Tonight is PGA’s Drag Night down at WSID (Western Sydney International Dragway) and I’ll be entering with the Pulsar. The past few days I’ve spent preparing the car to be in top condition, firstly was the oxygen sensor, and then there was the scheduled service. Yesterday I was able to acquire a motorbike helmet from a good friend of mine from high school and today is simply getting the car cleaned and putting it on a diet. I’ve removed all excess items from the car like the spare tyre, jack, everything in the glove box, mats, etc all in an attempt to lose the weight. All that is left is to adjust the tyre pressure but that’ll happen before I arrive at the venue.

This is the first time drag racing for me. Excited as hell lately I’ve been paying extra attention to the way I shift gears in the car so hopefully I can do well. Really not too sure on what times to expect but I’m aiming for around 16 seconds for the 1/4 mile, and with 92.3 kW at the wheels (that’s what the dyno sheet says) hopefully it’ll happen. I was hoping to get the pod filter onto the car but this might be a good chance to compare as I might go again another day.

So wish me luck and hopefully I’ll get pictures as I’m taking my camera as well and will be taking photos when I’m not lining up to drag. As Nayuki would say “Fighto dayo!”

Levelling up my Otakuism

Within my vast collection of anime merchandise I have figures, plushies, manga, DVDs, doujinshi, wallscrolls, posters, some cosplay items, and some other small trinkets. However, there was one thing missing. One thing that will take me to the next step in otakuism. So what is this one thing that I am missing?? Quite simple, a dakimakura (hug pillow).

Kanon - 23 (the ultimate item, an Ayu backpack)

  • Lying on the ground, Yuuichi is covered in a light, but it turns out that it was a car. A woman approaches him and Yuuichi identifies her as Makoto with his blurry vision before passing out. He wakes up later to find himself lying in bed in an unfamiliar room. There is a woman warming up milk for him and calls Yuuichi by his name, which he finds surprising, but he doesn’t recognise her at first. She explains that she brought him to her apartment and seems to know that he is staying with his cousin. She mentions that they used to be neighbours and that is when Yuuichi remembers that she’s the real Sawatari Makoto.
