Hi Guys, Ballarat Drags are on Sunday the 24th October at Ballarat Airport. I will be making my Debut appearance, should be a good day if anyone in the area wants to come down. Its only 1/8 Mile but should give me an idea what its capable of.

Yeah it was a great day, weather was awesome. Did a best run of 8.95 @ 82MPH on street tyres so it was about what I expected. I didn't get a chance to speak to Scott but seen a few runs and that thing is spastic!!! alot of the other street v8's there were pretty sad I thought.

Thanks guy's, I picked up a $150 a trophy a polo shirt and some crap stickers. Glad I got some cash cause now I have to get my trans fixed. Was slipping from 2nd to 3rd. Ran a best time of 7.41. One thing that I never noticed and someone pointed out after the day was finished was that I was the only street car in my class, all the rest were proper drag cars. Hopefully I get my trans back before Casterton drags in 2 weeks. Cash prize there is $400 so that would be even better... Trev, you should get yourself some slicks, with the MPH that you are running you should be down in the low 8's.

Morgz, I decided not to take it back to Matt this time. I don't have the time to wait and he is to busy to finish it in 2 weeks. The guy I have taken it to is in Horsham and apparently it really good. I went for a drive up there yesterday after taking it out so I could meet him and he seems very switched on. He has also built some very tuff Jatco performance transmissions. I should have it back next week. I will let you know how it goes... PS. I also finally have that adapter off the box that I was talking to you about for the quicksilver shifter. I will see if I can get a couple made up if I get some free time.
