Yeah that was a f*** up! haha. I hear wardy's gone back to a twin carb set up and is using optimax again, he needs to pump some methanol into that thing.

What a great day, VAS was there, JPC was there, and they brought the 300zx, there was a 6.2 second rail car. I ran a PB of 8.31, i think Brett did a 7.22, and it was close with me and Cotto, what did you do Cotto a 8.6ish, and Justin i cant remember what you did?????? Sounds like JET is ready for a trip to Calder now, same with you Cotto!!!! PICS UP SOON

Yeah i ran 8.69, i gotta get me some slicks if i'm gunna race again. Matt, that thing is a freak! you should try some c16 at calder cause i reckon it's got a low 12 in it and it's STOCK??!!!!!!! It's a pity the track wasn't as good as i hoped and the VLT record at Bairnsdale set by Lowie still stands at 7.01, would have been good to see Brett run a 6 but it wasn't to be this time. I'm sure it was a bit dissapointing for Vas and the JPC crew with the lack of grip but it was fantastic to see them run here so a big thanks to them.

The JPC 300ZX ran a 7.5ish but speaking to mark he thinks it could have gone a little faster with a better launch. Hopefully the track improves and with a bit of luck they'll come down to put on another show, and a little birdie told me that Mark might even bring a secret weapon next time too I had evil thoughts going though my head again today saying "get yourself a VLT" but i'm resisting! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
