A big congratulations to Chris (Suxgas) for running a 10.33@130.5. He beat his previous pb of 10.44@128.4.
He had a total of 3 passes a 10.58, 10.33 & 10.38 all around the 130mph mark.
As you may already know Chris' car is on straight lpg and is a full weight Calais, and more impressively, drove to the track and back home!!
Congratulations yet again!

The most the car has made is 372 rwkw but it obviously wasn't raced with that. I did have some transbrake issues, which gave me trouble staging the car but the real problem was it would disengage at the wrong time, which really means i couldn't take off when i wanted. Problem found and solved, it was a faulty switch.
when are you hitting the track??

02-03-08, 09:45 GMT+10#16 The car wont run a 9 as it sits. Its a full weight calais and im not a jockey either i weigh 122kg, i think as the car sits it could run somewhere in the 10.1s but no faster. I will not strip any weight out of the car, its my daily and i don't want to dedicate it just for track. I've already acheived my goal with the car so from here on in its just all a bonus
Come on Paul it probably costs more to fill the GTO up every week, then to race at calder

Nah still got more things to do on the VL, waiting for an auto elec a few things wrong etc. Like i said im not in a rush, the car made the same power as before so it wont go any faster. no big deal
