apparently the hat stuck open and he had no option but to put it in the wall or hit other cars and put ppls lives at risk, it wasnt even the owner of the car the owner of the car was in hospital as something happened to him friday night at power cruise.

Powerskid comp would be the first place to use it as well as off street drags. Its only prohibited in the cruise sessions. Stopping in the middle of the track nah not my style

Anyway, how did the car go on the weekend? Car went really well all weekend. Only used 1 tank of fuel which surprised me cause when ever it was out on the track the gate was open lol. Transbrake is possibly worlds best invention lol.

Had a great weekend, buying a carport is the best thing i ever did, no lining up at all straight on to the track. Car went hard all weekend, copped a good thrashing and loved it. Had an awesome time in the back of ByBye with kirk drifting the track and using all of the room he could get, good steering Kirk. Got to love racing cars turning the tyres in every gear at well over 100kmh with 4 decent size blokes on board. Cheers Coop.
