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.
Congrats to Scott and Trev, superb racing!!
Awesome day, lots of cars, plenty of good girls too
Damn Scott, your car bloody flies! haha it's a completely different car to when I last saw it.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
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.
LOL I noticed the cars you where running against, like that HT Monaro thing with trumpet out it's bonnet, hahaha and you hole shoot him, and had him till half track, then it looked pretty even up top. Awesome sight!!
Yeah be sure to let me know how ya trans goes, as mines slippin pretty bad to atm.
Is Simon (Matts bro) just as good with trans repairs?
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.
