Ray glass seemed to be having a fair few problems Godzilla was running strong but looks like the motor or something is toast Was breathing very heavy! 6.265@230 was an awesome run Congrats to them Now the boys in the states might pull there finger out and run 1320 again

Did Gas win in their class? How did Pac go? Congrats to Godzilla, only a handful of passes under their belts and they managed to take the into the 6.60's @ over 210mph. The Gas Celica has put things back into perspective as to why people opt to go 2J.

Nothing worse than a disgruntled rotor head.

Sunday was much better, there was wheels up racing all day from the likes of GH, and then pb's and wr's all arvo

my rear end is still as the factory designed it in 1989 and i got mine to sixty foot just fine, even on little 28x9's. i was logging air temp, humidty, track temp and tyre temp on every pass and the third qualifier when mod 10.5 went out was only 3 degrees cooler then the 2nd qualifier and the track temp was still reading around 43 to 47 degrees each pass. i think the part of the issue on saturday was tyre temp, if you did a massive burnout then your tyre temp went through the roof and they got greasy, or if the tyres were sitting in the sun you had the potential for one tyre to be almost 35 degrees hotter then the one in the shade. on a cold sydney day a big burnout is going to work in your favour. big george only did a little burnout on pass 3 on satuday and went quick. i have only recently started logging all of this stuff and there are trends starting to appear. end of the day it was a fun weekend, congrats to big george on the win in mod 10.5 shane

Is Mark Jacobsen on the forum? I know he frequents the SAU forum. Gas run a world record and these clowns are seeking that Jambo becomes a rotor only event.
