Hey everyone, went to Calder Park on the friday night, first meet for the new year and it was a great turnout. Lots of street cars but surprisingly not as many late model fords as usual. There was a Black Edition GT there (anyone form here?) which ran a 13.3 on its first pass, didnt catch any of the other runs.

I finished up with a best of 13.16@109.5. The lowest the temperature got to was 17.8 degrees and humidity was around 80%. I was happy with the times considering i ran with a full tank (last time around a quarter) and abit of extra weight (Around 50kg extra all up). I didnt manage a PB ET wise but the car was consistent running a 13.16, 13.18 and 13.20.

I did however manage to beat my best 60ft time, with a new best of 2.04. This was with my XR8 18s with pressures set to 27psi. Hopefully next meet i can get it into the 1.9X range without that extra weight. Cars going into Bluepower for a retune tomorrow so next meet it should be packing a bit more power anyway

There was also an FG GT there which ran a high 14 (didnt see it run again) and a friends SLR5000 Torana (genuine) ran a flat 12 with a basic 304. There was also a little ripper of a Turbo starlet there punching out 260rwkw with a a shot of nitrous, ran 11.3 @ 137mph
