yea no bonnnet lol was drawing too much heat due to no cold air pipe and wouldnt come up on the transbrake so bonnet off gave us more air direct to the turbo and it came up but was having issues with radiator caps then got an egg in a front runner and decided to pack up and drive it home, epa'd and defected on the way home coming into donnybrook aswell
provlt was running 10.2's i think but @ 137 mph mark could probably correct this a little not 100% on it
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
yea we all went up to see marky boy try crack the 9 bracket as he had the race tune with no pipes and more boost
but to no pre-vail, tyres where spining on the rims and i think he said there was a little converter slip as well due to the higher boost....
we'll be out at calder soon with hopefully good conditions and see how we go, as mark is now sorting out rim locks so the fucccckkkass dont spin and lay down a wicked time
also shane, first time i seen ya car on the strip, sounded strong as and looks like it got a bit left in it....(im mates with andy bro)
so yea calder park will be the one to look out for

yea i noticed the marks on his wheels didnt line up after the last pass, oh well perfection takes times, we all know nothing ever goes right with performance cars lol
yea mate my car has more in it just gotta sort out all my issues too, slowly getting thru them but other stupid little problems keep popping up also like my radiater cap problem if anyone saw it wasnt the most pleasant of passes got a bit hairy and i got off it, noticed mark had up top traction problems also, seems alan was right about once the sun comes out u hav about 2 hours of racing there before the track turns to ****
hahahaah sooooo true man.....his first pass before u got there was wicked....hooked up and went strong as feck did a 10.18 and his pb is 10.14 im not sure of the MPH but
then when that rat-rod looking thingy leaked oil all over the track, and that poor bloke in the turbocharged mx5 clipped the wall (check fullboost footage) coz he got messy half track....the track went to ****....almost every car with decent power got loose at one point of the track or another
and also with ur car shane and ya radiator cap......i watched u back off and was like WTF but as i thought WTF i see ur radiator cap flying off into the stratosphere hahahah
good things come to those who wait

lol yeah makes sense , few mates of mine mentioned the boys in blue hastled you on the way home , not really fair at all
noticed on the video u had a miss in that pass , good work though

yea got reemed on the way home kinda sucks but **** happens i guess.
and the miss was water getting out from under the cap and goin in the turbo and filling motor with water changed the cap no more miss

yea the track was poo.....the first few passes that got done where good becuase the track was fresh and the track was cold...when a few more "big boys" got on and the sun started warming up, nearly every hi-powered car was having a skate session....was pretty hairy
DTAIND was oil on the track at half way point and right lane also had oil on start point /left lane was fine and it wasnt the sun as we were running 12s from the start of the day till 4pm

Im not 100% what it was maybe it was just oil but alot of cars where getting silly half track...and the poor bloke in the white turbo mx5 coped the brunt of it slamming into the wall, and he was going good guns to!!
