Was a hell of a day to try and get a PB.. took till the very last run and still had a 17kph headwind.
I never expected to get close to a PB with that sort of wind so to get it was a bonus. Got to thank Rusty and Paul from G&D (and the rest of them too) for some on the run tweaks to the edit and intake to get it storming home. Nothing like haveing live data to finetune by! Thanks for the support guys. It may not me an 11 second beast but you always treat it like it is, thats what I love.

Amazing stuff with that head wind, can't believe that my ute ran a PB 13.14 @ 106.23 with a 12 year old girl in the passengers seat. I was having clutch issues all day (even had the clutch cooler from the funny car working overtime) and after eliminations were over i decided to just give it to the car and see what happens. I guess i am happy with that but there is so much more potential in this car with this set up.
Probably off to calder soon to wear some more tyres. Cheers Craig |

My brother Damo ran a new pb of 15.1 in his EF XR6. Next time out he should be in the 14s.

that was a good run eh! .... the Lightning was dialled in at 13.3 allowing for the head wind (thats the story and am sticking to it) you were within 0.0575 of your dial in and we broke out by .1627 ![]() great race ![]() the Lightning ran a 13.2 with 2 on board and 70L of fuel .... like a brick in a wind tunnel pb was a 13.1 @ 105 when this 100kg monkey got out very pleased with the F150 ... now it is time for the edit and changing pulleys great day also I'd like to congrat my much much better half Meg for taking the phoon to a 13.39 on a 13.4 dial-in ...... lead foot !! :gren: her pb was a 13.3 in the phoon with absolute street trim with 32psi and 3/4 of a tank and a soft edit for midrange

For a first outing I thought we didnt do too badly. We improved greatly with each run we both did & the old Sprint just kept on asking for more ;)
The only problem I had was in my actual race ........ I had been decreasing by .10 at a run as I settled in & then I dropped down by a .20 ..... dialing out in the process ..... hehehehe Best fun Ive had in ages :P Now should my wonderful OH had have remembered that he had a few more gears to go through then his time & race results would have been top notch as well .... hehehehe I spose were right in thinking that all we need to do is concentrate on our starts & then the times will slid ![]() |

Great times everyone.
Correct me if Im wrong, but that bluepower ute ran 11.0. thats just short of a 10. Is this the same boss 260 ute that ran a 11.7ish earlier this year? If it is congrats! |

The ute is a new acquisition, its a 200,000 klm old XR8, the motor hasn't yet been touched (factory 260) however we woke it up with the fitment of an Eaton M112 PD blower. It looks the part with the BF pursuit kit, courtesy of AWC. We will be returning to NA duties with the Boss very soon.... Chris

I would like to add myself to the Personal Best list for saturday with a 16.147@87.38mph. I know its walking pace, but i was happy with it having not done anything the motor at all. And i only realised afterwards that i had forgotten to lighten it up, so i was running full street trim, spare and all! It looks like the new diff has done its job, coming down from 16.4's previously.

Was pretty happy considering my first time dragging the car and by all accounts a lot of people were a few tenths off because of the headwind. And yes, Difillipo exhaust, Bluepower tune and CAI. Cheers Brad

Owen got a 16.01 in one of his runs & yes we emptied the boot only to realise on the way home that we actually left the spare in the boot too .......... :togo: Yes Mark .... Owen was runner up and I am soooo proud of him ... he hadnt even seen a drag strip in the flesh until that morning .... a HUGE effort ....... Cant wait to see what this Sprint can do properly tuned & lightened properly ![]() |
