First uncracked 11. Im stoked.

Goodnight all, will post more tomorrow.

Chris

That's more like it mate. In the past you predicted 11.8, so thats closer to the mark. If you go too far under people will start doubting your predictions. LoL.
Well done mate. What's next? (or is it watch this space LoL.)

Ha Ha Craig well thats the only place l race now as l don't break anything lol

rodderz · 12-05-2006, 11:45 PM

True, thats the unfortunate part about sedans they break them more often than the utes

Your times were still good for the dunlops though

X ORSMXR · 13-05-2006, 01:13 AM

Well l stand corrected as it was a little noisey when Chris was telling me the times.
Still 11.7 WOW
Well done to the guys!

dute · 13-05-2006, 10:12 AM

Well done boys the show must have raised some interest a week before the drag day.......

Laminge · 13-05-2006, 11:58 AM

Bloody amazing times and team work

Well done to all involved.

Craig · 13-05-2006, 05:49 PM

The weight reduction issue doesn't bother me if it's not over the top (like a SS Comm ute there last night that must of weighed about 1100 to 1200kg) and safety is not compromised.

Most true drag racing vehicles run minimum weight to achieve there best times, no reason why we can't do this with our daily drivers. Until there are rules of what we can and can't do then its go for it.

It weighed about 1340kg with out a driver Craig, and smashed the LS1 un opened record.....as it should with that weight !!!

Well done to APS Frankston and to those involved with the car.

I agree Craig, lets just try and go fast as we all can, thats what i intend to do, its good that we are getting some recognition with the Boss motors now.

troppo · 13-05-2006, 06:53 PM

Congratulations guys, nice effort ;)

Craig · 13-05-2006, 09:09 PM

Exactly Cam i reckon the old 3 valve might go on a diet for the forums event this weekend.

Was hanging out with Phonsy & DJ last night for a while (they are diehard GM guys) and they were very impressed with Ratters & Chris's efforts last night.

I think we all were.I was Blown away with the performance of this ute.Just goes to show the Quad Cam V8 has great potential.The quad Cam V8 will be in the 10's natural aspirated in the near future and the best part of it it won't sit there for 8 seconds to get it going.

Hemi Power when are you going to run a 12 in your 290?

:
I would be happy to sit there for 12 sec and run a 12 then not run one at all..

I'll run a 12 when i get my new ride

: My GT has been tuned by the best so it will run a 12 all day,i have nothing to prove as the Boss powered BluePower tuned cars have the score on the boards.

py: My BA GT keeps up with the Clevo that in itself tells the story.
But i love the F6 its a true Muscle car.
