Sorry to hear about the engine Ben, bugger. And I hope you feel better soon to Aza. I was up until 12.15 this morning stripping the seats out and washing the car. All good to go. :twisted: I've also mounted a bracket on the drivers side belt holder to attach my camera to so hope to get some video (only using digital still camera though)

I'll let you know how I go tomorrow.

I had an awesome time last night.

I got there nice and early and was 5th in line to run. I managed to get 5 runs in altogether.

My previous best run was 15.678 @ 141.48 which was done last year.

My times are as follows in order that I ran them. RT = reaction time

15.559 @ 144.01 – RT .051 (against a bug eye WRX his time was 14.279 @ 156.28)

15.568 @ 144.39 – RT -.146 (jumped the light) (against a Soarer – 14.159 @ 164.05)

15.563 @ 143.28 – RT .096 (against the same Soarer – 14.439 @ 162.41)

15.762 @ 133.07 – RT .047 (against a VT Commodore S – 13.819 @ 158.35)

15.448 @ 144.48 – RT .061 (against the same Commodore – 13.749 @ 159.86)


My 4th run was a little off because I was in a different lane and towards the end the car felt a bit out of shape so I stepped of the gas, let it settle then got back on, only to feel a wobble again so costed over the line. Still, not too bad a time.

I’m stoked that I got under 15.5. The car ran perfectly and didn’t miss a beat, bar the wobble in the other lane. BTW, about 5 cars after me, someone crashed in the part where I felt the wobble and racing was stopped for about 20 mins to clear up the mess!

Below are videos of my 4 runs in the right hand lane in order that I ran them. I’ve not attached run 4 one from the left lane for 3 reasons.
1. The angle isn’t good, nothing to look at.
2. It’s blurred because my helmet got in the way.
3. I though I won and did a little “Woohoo!â€
