Made it home without any damage so all's well.
Results, 1st 13.6@111.5mph 2.32 6oft 2nd 13.5@11o.1mph 2.34 6oft 3rd 13.1@112.1mph 2.35 6oft 88.2mph 66oft mark 4th 13.3@111.5 mph 2.15 6oft 87.5mph 66oft mark 5th 13.1@111mph 2.23 6oft 85.8mph 66oft mark It was my first time out with it since it's been tickled. A big thankyou goes to Chris from bluepower for getting the car to where it is, whitout you bud i'd still be peddling a stockie around. The car makes plenty of grunt there's no question about that. Even on the baby tune that's in it the bastard pulls hard. Thanks Wade and Chris for the pointer's, always helps having the older boys there to share some tips. |

Geat effort mate in getting the car to the track. I can sort of relate to your problem with traction Leigh, more power to those rears with 1.8 tonne to push along can only mean wheelspin. The fix is stickier tyres of course, this means more stress on the drive line. You've got that bug though, the one that prevents you from seeing the impending carnage. Keep it up, I can't make it next Wed but the one after I should be right. Are you going back over the next couple of weeks?

Well done buds.
What tyres did you use, How did you launch the car.

I was there watching you XRQTOR with.. only saw 2 of your runs though.
Well done, I spun out watching you sort of baby it off the line and once past the 60' the car started hauling down the track was awesome, 13.1 at 112mph thats good for mid-low 12.. and the other times seeing it spin for a bit, hook up and send you sreaming off at a great rate of knots. Get the better tune in there some sticky tyres and let it go Im looking forward to seeing it in action again. Anyone know who owns the Black BA XR8, shaker, grey strips down the side and nice rims, it looked nice and managed low 14's?? is he off the forums?? |

He had a BA XR8 sedan auto. All usual bolt-ons, tuned by Intune Performance to the tune of 250 rwkw???? His best was 14.0 on street tyres. (Mostly 14.1 to 14.2) There was also a blue GT-P all usual bolt-ons, tuned by Intune, best of 13.78 I think. Also a AU XR8 doing 13.7's. The bloke was tuning it in the staging lanes via a laptop, but I didn't get time to talk to him. Great job last nite Leigh. When you get a handle on all that power, you are going to be very quick indeed. (Even on the racetrack) LoL.

Leigh, that green beast of yours is awesome...an absolute sleeper. Considering the street trim those times are very impressive. Any chance you can post up a full timeslip?
