Yeah not a bad night... Not many really quick cars though(prob 10 or so). qwikvl Snapped off a 8.93 or something like that then went onto the trailer. The new Rajab car (nohope) couldn't get any traction on the first launch, back on the trailer.... Sounds really tough in the burnout and spooling up, I cant wait to see it run when everything is sorted. Andrew Dyson Ran a couple of 9.00's but I didn't hang around for the last run as it was way too cold... not sure if he cracked the 8's.
As we were heading to the pits, one of the quick torrie's engines let go about 3/4 track, he stayed on it and ended up crossing the line all crossed up at about 130mph Looked pretty spectacular but expensive..... all in all it was an ok night.

29-07-06, 14:57 GMT+10#16 Good to see it out finally.. hopefully the weather stays suitable and the near freezing intake temps continue like last night.
Gives me an excuse to start coming back to calder, the quick vls have been a bit light on latey.

29-07-06, 16:22 GMT+10#19 Just got the nohope video off rajabs site it sounds bloody insane. Looked to have instant wheelspin even with bigger tyres and then looked to have just cruised the rest of the track. Very exciting stuff seeing and hearing about all these new cars out though.
