Yeah I saw you run...I was being a wuss and only stalling up to 15...didn't want to break my daily driver..went without it for a month after obliterating no.4 piston due to leaning out..decided to put CP pistons, surge tank, flapper mod, plazmaman intercooler and piping kit...decided if I'm gonna drag it then I wanted to make it last...now it's all good. When you get it all fixed and go back to WB..might catch up. BJ.

Hi CFOUR..I remember seeing your xr8 in the line up..but being my first time..I was like a nervous virgin...I knew I was lined up next to someone...but I was so bloody focused on that tree and keepin it straight...I didn't take notice of much else. 1st pass was 11.89 so I was happy with that...my f6 has 370rwkw..next time u see me at WB come & say g'day.

Thats how my first ever run was back in April, thought it was weird. Getting my ute tuned on Wednesday and me and a few mates will be out there on the 24th. Hoping it might be a little quieter than usual for a Saturday with Indy or whatever it's called these days.
Just wish mine would run an 11, bit jealous bj : but I'll be hunting around the low 13s as opposed to a 14.4 last time

Well done mate. Darren was here in Sydney earlier this week, on his way up from Victoria. It was very good meeting him, and his ride is certainly a standout.
