HI all
on the weekend at the sport compact meeting the cressida had a top day.
10.009 at 146 mph smoking the tyres in 2nd and 3rd
10.15 at 147 mph smoking second and third
10.27 at 146 again smoking the tires even after taking 1 psi out of the tune
took an additional 3 psi out of the tune back to 24 psi
it worked with us running a pb of 9.915 et at 149.9 mph even with a lacklustre 1.777 sixty foot after the car had 1.5'd earlier in the day.
we broke the sprag for second gear on that pass and ran all eliminators as a 2 speed only having 1st and 3rd gear. the car still ran low tens 10.27 at 147 with no second gear.
we won the S/RWD class and reset our own national record to 9.915 at 149.9 mph.
massive thankyou to justin gregory from BLACKTRACK performance dyno centre (formerly rx engineering), MV automatics, Premier exhaust, and PRO COAT. we are looking forward to jamboree, we will have our front runners and glass bonnett by then which will drop the wieght of the car fom 3400 pounds to min wieght of 3100 pounds, the front half of the cage will be going in aswell.
we know there is a 9.3 in the car as it sits so hopefully with a sticky willowbank track we will see it happen.

it wasnt a elimination it was a qualifier so i let the other guy go and just focused on getting a good launch, and i went flying past the rx3 at the 1000 foot mark
