they would be very lucky to get under 8.5 i reckon if they didnt break traction in the top end or hit the bumps in the track.
thats still a 8.5 we have not seen in over 15 months

yes well true but thats if they can reach an 8.5 there it would probably be more like high 8s.
i think last time gas tested there they were running high 6s and best they could get was 8.1-8.2
maybe the owners of these other big vic cars dont want to risk wiping there cars out at heathcote it would be a lot of money down the drain.
the owner of heathcote lets anything and everything out onto the track whether dropping oil or not.
would any of these oil leaking cars even pass scrutineering at wsid lolol i dont like there chances.
a lot of big names such as pac and maztech who lost his car to a crash he got severly burnt and his car burnt to the ground and there not even fire officials there only the owner with his coke can size fire exinguisher which wouldnt even put out a ciggy let alone a toxic fire.
regardless they have all had some sort of accos at heathcote ask any of them is it worth taking your big dollar car there and braving it to please people they will tell you exactly what they think of it.
a comparison of both calder and heathcote was petmods dark blue mintub vl it struggled for traction and could only get a best of 8.9 at 152 there he went to calder a week or two later and dropped imediately to 8.6 at 156-157 ask him which track he would prefer to be on.
another example between calder and wsid is kd747 how long and how many passes had he done at calder trying im sure all different boost levels launch technique etc to get consistently into the 8s and could only run a best of 8.9 at 157.
car gets sold goes to sydney more weight gets added car runs easy 8s at every meet and has pb and mph better than it ever could in melbourne.
maybe kd747 could say something here he has raced on both tracks with his race cars and the vl and could give first hand account of our tracks compared to wsid.
i think darko went 8.7 at heathcote man either wall all you are doing is making excuses its funny melb workshops live on them remmeber all the bull **** john bresciani would get on here and post up forever making excuses dont fall into the trap where your making excuses for other people ay
man last time i raced at heathcote a ****en ****box blew its diff a few cars up, i didnt know and i end up skating to mid track...watch the fullboost video...the tracks rubbish.

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
well done to the maatouk boy's at the end of the day they did this on a small
tyre, and look at our melbourne cars running a tyre like a top fuel drag car
shame melbourne shame...........
and i cant beleive some of the excusses we dont have a proper track, my car wheelspins, i dont have a light globe, my door fell off
F@#KN LOL.....
Congrats Anth on the time, sam, andrew etc for their hard work as well.
It's funny that the only reason victoria's not coming close is due to the track, why arent there more qld cars doing these times? willowbank is every bit as good if not better than wsid..
Anthony's always had Plan B ready to go, since before this car was thrown together for jambo last year, but like he always says, he can go faster with this setup so why put a twin cam or methanol on it?
Jamie, nice filming mate

Do you think weight is all that was added? The boys have put alot of effort into that car up in sydney not just raced it was it was.

Let just set the Records Straight here.
1. Maatouk Ran the Numbers 8.0's@174 no ifs no buts singlecam VL - NO EXCUSES!
2. in regards to the above quote: the meeting after the 9" was installed in JET30R (ex kd747) so thats 180pounds the best the car ran in sydney that meeting the car went 8.94@154. Vic, took JET30R to JPC for a dyno session. We left JPC at 8:40pm we got to the Calder. Unloaded the car. We got to the lanes and raced at about 9:30pm 1st pass car ran 8.96@157.58 off the trailer, no track prep. You must set the car up for conditions. If you wanna race you get your money together and you race, there is no excuse.
3. Vince and Michael (KD747) have packed their cars and come to Sydney heaps of times they are dedicated no doubt. They even came down and the F&*^ing meeting got rained out, they came back next meeting!!!! Thats what you do no matter what, you get it done! The red weapon ran a gun barrel pass on a normal night at Calder and ran their PB for the car.

mainly Tyre pressure adjustment and staging the boost to allow the boost to help the car leave without overpowering the track. As any car does when they go to a new track!! If you come with the button set on kill you will simply blow away tyres which is what happened the next day when we expected a prept track.
Look at anth and vic's cars when they go down on a wednesday night no track prep! the cars are slowly bought up to power levels after the initial pass to see where the track is at! There are no excuses for traveling to and from tracks if you have the budget to race.

Yep, even 140mph cars wheelspin up the bumpy heath goat track, especially on the right lane, its like hitting roadworks at 3/4 track, nothing like when i used to race at AIR, I actually **** myself when i hit the bump, left lanes ok.
Remember when Keir wilson 8 sec gtr came to heathcote after being at AIR for yrs, it was 5 tenths of, and wheelspun like crazy.
Well done to mautooks, sick of congratulating you guys, you *******s make it look
way to easy!, goodluck for the 7's Hope i can make it to Jambo, would be awesome
to see all the vls in action
cheers
