Default I got into the 15s!!!!
I know its nothing special, but i was pretty wrapped! I tagged along with the E-Series guys to heathcote today and ran a new personal best of 15.94@86.79mph! So i only just made it, but for the little work i have done to the car i am very happy! Now all i have to do is learn how to launch properly. :P

Nothing wrong with that at all! Getting a PB is always a thrill and cracking into the next second bracket is a huge step. Well done!!

Better change your sig now!

Great effort mate, it is always rewarding just beating your previous best.

Thanks for the support guys! I'm not an avid drag racer, although i can feel myself starting to become one! Not 100% sure how many cars were out there exactly, but i would say it was at least 40-45 all up. Quickest cars of the day were an N/A EB 6 cylander on NOS and a turbo skyline both ran 12.8's i believe. I was just happy to get out there and shred some tyres! :sm_headba
Who knows, with some work, by next year i could join the elite ranks of the 14 club! :P

Well done guys on getting into the 15's. It always feels so good to get a PB. What's more important is that you have lots of fun doing it. Sounds like you are hooked now, it is so highly addictive I have found.

We're heading back out soon. Come up. Work on those launches. Launches are what I'm heading back to try and master :(

Anyhoo, congrats again

Well done mate, I know what it's like to get under that 16 sec barrier, it took a few runs in my ute to get a similar time to yours.

No probs mate, it was great to be there! Always up for supporting the fellow Ford crew, even if it was an average showing by myself! :P I think i managed to beat at least one Skyline while i was there.
