that was ur choice jase lol thanks paul, motor is gone, and so is the turbo, so will fix it up and come out again, i was expecting no quicker than an 11.5 exactly wot i said to damon and the boys before the first run, gotta get used to the glide and get some decent tires and will give it another crack

Nah think Hamoud did like 10.50's ish. Wasnt stalling up on the line very well by the looks of it, I think he was planning on getting back out to Heathcote Sunday.

Nah hamoud didnt do a 9, was having trouble bring it onto boost. best was a 10.5 unsure on mph. Last run i saw him do was leaving the line on no boost but still did 127mph and looked like it picked up real good.

no offence ank, but u really should stop bagging everyone about there times. why is a 11.1 so bad? how many times have u gone 11.1? until u do, i suggest u stop bagging everyone i dont think u realise how hard it actually is. look at my car for example, iv spent a lot of time and effort and its gone frmo 10.8 - 10.5. **** happens, we arent all made of money and to be hoenst not everyone cares as much as u do just worry about ur own car, build it run ur numbers and be happy. no need to thrash everyone else its not going to make u a better person. I mean all u do is bag out everyones cars and u dont even have a license or a running car! Personally i dont give a **** either but i suggest u stop bagging ****s cos its getting really *** annoying!

Thats it Shane, yeah he wasnt having fun untill Mick and I found his little problem, then he was all smiles again, he was pretty happy with the time, sort the convertor a bit then have another go. Once you got your car sorted, caged and able to go straight through scruteneering all the hard work is done, best place for fast cars is on the track, keep the streets for cruising, and the tracks for racing.

haha, im fine. Feeling a tad seedy but all good. I don't think i could go another 10 cans mate, i still have the shakes. Shane 11.1 is an awsome time for a street car man. The best I ever did in street trim was a 11.2 Yeah mate that's my Spinner.

11.1 is miles ahead of me! I reckon it's a great time. Don't worry shane, as long as you're happy with the car dont worry what others say. Drag racing is full of people who are only there to try and bring you down. I dont see why people arent supportive and enjoying the scene instead of wrecking it.
