Just recorded a new PB yesterday @ A.I.R. Only had 4 runs, best of the day was an, 11.2 @ 121. My 60ft time was 1.65.
Slowly getting there, changing a couple of things for next meet, so i'll have to wait til October 3rd to crack a 10, still using PUMP fuel too.
Anyone go out there, was a major accident there, a rail car got outa control at the deep end of the track and rolled it several times.The driver was taken to hospital with reported burns to hands,arms and face.Hope he recovers well.Didn't see it myself as i was lining up to race, but seen the damaged car come back, not a pretty site.

Damn trailer cars, who needs'em!!

I think the fastest (as in proven on the strip) would have to be Adams!
Probably are some others out there sitting in people's sheds though heh.
Nice work PSI!

Cheers Jaytee, and all you others.
As for the fastest VLT in SA, that goes to a guy named Dave Readon i think his name is.It did use NOS tho, but it ran 10.3 from memory.This was at least 5 yrs ago.I have heard from a mate at work that, the engine is going in a torana shortly, and should be out soon.
I mates VLT is quicker than mine(HIPSI on these forums).Only ran it a couple of times, best was a 11.2 also, but at a huge 125mph on PUMP fuel too.I am carrying a bit more weight being a calais, but his is damn fast.Will run 10's easy, as soon as i lend him my tyres!!!
We both want 10's on PUMP fuel, and both our cars are driven on the streets regularly.
Later all

07-09-04, 10:50 GMT+10#11 Hey Adam,
Your right street meet not trailer meet! haven't run the car since the new trans has been fitted it's 100% better so 10's should be on the cards.

Hey Rob, hows things mate?
I like that, trailer meet!! A sad thing is, we would only get 10 cars racing if the rule was " all competitors must drive the car in and home to race "
At least we would get 50 runs each i suppose!!
Mate, with that new trans, your looking at mid 10.5's, 10.8's at worst.
Speak soon mate.
DOUG, 23psi was used for that run.GT30bb turbo,custom high mount manifold,
JPC 45mm ex/wstgate,custom plenum,big cooler,autronic smc,550cc injectors,
SX fuel reg,044 pump,surge tank,wade 818b cam,blitz spec-r boost controller,trimatic, 3500rpm stall, LSD with 3.7's,venolia forgies,head has had the ports cleaned up,and manifolds match ported. I thinks that it!!

My calais is white/silver with genuine 18" WH Grange wheels.No custom plates, although i would like too.It's just the unwanted attention that goes with them that i dont like.
