Yeah mate it was me. Matched my best PB first run 10.6 at a dismal 116mph. Then backed it up with 3 consistent mph runs. After asking myself why i was down 20mph i realised that i shouldn't let off the accelerator untill id acutally crossed the line. The line that wasn't there lol.
Oh well always next time. Just need to do a few minor repairs first.
New Anti-lag set up = F#ck yeah

Not sure yet. Fairly sure its the diff centre. It was a cheap second hand gear set i tried out to see if it would change things. Still have the injectors in my spares box if you want them.

I only got out there later in the arvo, but was a great meet again. Spewing I missed your runs Steve. I was looking forward to catching some tough VLT's but yours was the only one!
Was good to catch some more of the later model cars out there. Tough skylines, RX 7'sand XR6's. Any of you guys planning on racing in a couple of weeks at the next meet?

me and a few mates are organising a private test and tune day,
we need 20 cars, we have a definate 10-12 so far.
So if any one is interested in joining us shoot me a pm.
Cost is $280 per car. Racing all day or until you break it.
Plenty of runs with only 20 cars,
inc timing system, print outs, ambo, insurance, track staff.
Thinking of doing it around the 1st july or 14th july,
