So many quick times, to bad there was so many hold ups and you have feel for Neil he demolished his Camaro race car, this is the car that was nearly owned by Rod 6 weeks back.
Xa Coupe 13.7 from a dead set stock XR8 has to be a record.
Rod's 11.8.. 120mph plenty more to come.
Chris 13.5, David 13.3, HPF Ute 13.20, TT ls1 9.8, Geea 11.0.
there is a lack of 290’s… GT’s in General we hardly see its a shame..

/ Sorry having a Fast & Furious flashback there :

Wow, must have been a great night at the track for the blue oval! Congrats Rod for getting the TT Pursuit to the track. Stuart did you get any runs in before the engine went bang?

One pass John, 12.4 @111mph. Motor let go a little before the line. I should have warmed it up more and used more octane boost. I've had a quick look today, no compression in #8 again. So l've broken rings or holed the piston or both.
There is no water in the oil, so if the bore is ok "gentlemen we can rebuild it"


13.7 From a (near) stockie with a sus clutch, well done Jeff!

Hi Mark, No this is my long suffering .060 over motor. Has 130+ runs on it and was going strong but a few bottles of nitrous and an over enthusiastic tune soon saw to that.
I will get to the new motor soon, I've just grown attached to the current one. It's almost run an 11 and it just will not die.
