| Hmmm...I may not be running tonight any more fellas - just got offered a spot in an MC day on Sunday. Rather not take the risk of breaking anything tonight and missing out on that. Will still come down for an hour or two to spectate though, if people are still going down. |

| HOw did ya all go tonight fellas? I ran 12.6 @ 108.7mph ( fcd tune is out ) and Ben Burgess ran an 11.9 Sec pass Turned out to be a good night out! Although we both have more left in our rides! |

| Damn that's impressive Daniel and Ben I personally managed to score only three runs, best one was 14.1s @ 102.50 mph, 2.4s 60'. Others were consistent as well, 14.3 was the worst one I got. Surprisingly I got the better time without stalling it up, probably coz lost traction when I did stall. Bloody steel wheels lag!! Gotta compensate with more top end power mods soon, then I go again! |

| 2J power!!! Almost as good as my lightly modded 1J Actually, that's like 2 seconds better than when my land barge was stock, not bad for an aircraft carrier. |

By comparison, I also ran a 108mph trap speed...for a 14.381. Damn 2.600sec 60 footers!!!! Worse still, my "best" run ever was a 13.4 @ 110.1mph...and that same carppy (2.4sec) 60' time. Gives a nice indication of the difference some good rubber, and by interpolation, a good launch, can make. It's time for me to invest in some R-comps I think. Was a nice feeling hauling in that Evo8 from a car-length in front at half-track to beat him by a similar margin over the line though

Brockas also has some video of me squiggling up the track as both 1st and 2nd decide traction is overrated... |

| 13.37 with a 2.07 60 foot, just a couple of hundredths off my best. Also ran its best speed, 169.9km/h which I think was 105.68mph? Should probably have hung around a bit later cause it was loving the night air. I wish I had of gone for it on the first pass with all the track prep still there. I just floored it (as opposed to stalling it up) as I was going for reactions and got a 2.29 60 foot, which is about a tenth quicker than it normally does like that. Might have been that sub-two 60 foot and 13.2, oh well, woulda coulda shoulda. I also had a go in Phil's car, 14.95 and Phil went 14.96, he may have gone quicker later on. Phil got to try some turbo power in mine and he got a 13.42...I think he might hurry up on that turbo conversion now... Shane...got traction? LOL you were making very squiggly lines. Tyre time methinks. |

Hmmm, I'd say give Luke that extra 50hp, and he'll do heaps better than 13.1 for sure Callum! |
