Well after attending 4 AME (Ford v Holden Nationals) Shows for the year with our BA XR8 Manual Ute and taking out 3 Trophies for the Highest Horsepower N/A Boss in the Dyno Comps. We thought we might now try our hand at the 1/4 mile.
Went to Calder last night and ran 13.79 down to the last three runs that netted 13.20's. All about 102 to 103 MPH and a couple of sixty footers in the 1.9's. The car felt really good (Only the third time i have been down the 1/4 mile Oh 4th actually went on a BMX bike at Heathcote about 15 years ago and ran 59.00 secs) although towards the end i think the standard clutch is wearing a bit thin. All in all it was a fun night with some more potential when we get some more laps. Looking forward to the Andrew Berry Nats at Heathcote next week. Regards Craig |

Good stuff Craig, nice to see the white beast out having a crack
I know what you're on about about the stocky clutch...mines done nearly 55,000km and about 15+ drag meetings and the things buggered...makes hard to get a good launch and some snap on the gear change! |

Thanks Chris & Laminge, yes Big Craig did a good job, when I drove it it had normal street radials and no fancy Chris tune up so you would expect 13.20's even with a 115kg driver.
Lets see how we all go on Sunday at Heathcote. |
