Hey everyone this is a new dragstrip that's about to open in the next few days in Jeddah Saudi Arabia. I was lucky enough to go and test it along with a few friends 8 cars and 8 bikes. the name of this project is http://www.jeddahraceway.com.sa and if your interested to see some PIC got to this link http://www.jeddahboys.com/vb/showthread.php?t=33974 my car is the white turbo and oh ya the text on the site is in arabic so dont worry just enjoy the PICS

 

the cars look hot!

 

Looks like a great new facility, what was the traction like? Is it concrete for the entire 1/4 mile?

 

very nice track.... I wish I had one of those here in chicago....

 

looks great but didnt see any women.......

 

I can't read anything on that site

 

Congrats on the new raceway! Having a local track is great. Enjoy!

 

So you had the white 996 Turbo! OK we met, but I did not know it was you on 6speed, nice car!

It was a lot of fun, first ever drag strip to open in Saudi.

Not really sticky, a bit narrow and not enough braking space, meaning you cannot run a 9 second car there, so I decided to skip

They are still in the building phase though, kudos to them for taking the initiative and risk their money, not easy in this country because of a ban on tracks, racing, etc until very recently..

As far as the times related to heat, altitude etc..I got some on video, typical 996GT2 ran around 121mph or so at 12.1. The stock 993TT ran 12.77@112mph with a 2.0s 60' you can tell traction is not there..

 

Very nice cars and track! Your turbo is so damm nice, would have loved to see videos of the runs?!?!?!?

 

Congratulations on the new drag strip. Looks like a nice facility.

 

You need like 10,000 top fueller runs like Atco and E-Town to get that track nice and sticky!
