madmatty · 10-12-2005, 08:03 AM

is anyone heading out to wsid this wed 15/12?

me and my brother are trying to get out there,its been a while for me and he wants to run his new bf XR6t auto.

hope to see some fords out in anger.

Mate I'm hungry, I'll be headin out there for sure....

I'm sketchy of what'll run Im hoping less then 14.5sec, Ive run my mates TT Supra plenty of times and if I get the jump he wont catch to 160km, if I can hold him off for this long I should be able to run low 14s. His run an official 14.2, and his ready to beat his PB this Wed.

My stock mkii xr8 went 14.2 on it's first pass and i babied it off the line so a sub 14 sec pass would be on the cards. It made a healthy 2o8rwkw bog stock.

I havent been out for some time now as it hurts not being able to race and watching everyone else having fun. Might come out this week to watch if a few of you guys are making your way out. I can only assume Wade and Chris will be heading out yet again.

Sounds good.
Probably be after the Heathcote day, end of Jan, as I think Wade and Rich are pretty busy up till then.
When are you getting your car back? It was still asleep on the dyno a week ago when I was there.
I know what you you mean about no fun watching everyone else LoL.

Lol now there's an excuse to head out for sure. This has been coming for a long time but they should keep it off the strip so that they dont shut it down.

Turns out I was probably a bit lucky Wade......saw my "girl" go to Ford today on a flat top truck again....thought it was the CV again but turns out the 2 bolts around the diff housing had snapped.

When I did it , it felt and sounded like a mounted a gutter.

rodderz · 14-12-2005, 12:30 AM

Have you been flat changing Brad?
