Default Work Horse Runs 12.1
Any one who doesn’t know Work Horse (Stuart) he is a real trier does the drag racing scene in his work van complete with ball bar on the front...
Stuart is a real budget racer and after around 6 months off the scene.
Tonight for his 1st night out, he went 12.2 then 12.1 on 14 inch street tyres that looked like cheese cutters...
Congratulations Stuart looks like your rebuild and tuning was come up a treat, we will see you at Heathcote Saturday night flying the flag AFF, you will surprise those LS1'S...

12.2 backed up with 12.1 we were amazed and very happy for you.
Budget Racing and OFR we own the track...lol...

Thanks Mark
And thanks for the congratulations guys.
I have to come clean Mark, I just have not had time to finish my new motor. I'm still running the old setup. I took it to Calder last night to see if it would hold together. I am over the moon with the times. All hail the Cleveland V8

This was absolutly fantastic at Heathcote. Was sitting in the water as it tore off. Got to love that hit and the rather intresting tail slide that it provokes. Throttle in a Bottle at its best.

I was near the fence in the staging area, I also got a good view of the van getting way out of shape, you did well to hang onto it Stuart. Anyone catch it on video?

Thanks John but if I was any sort of driver I would have got back into it as soon as I got it straight. Instead I lost the race, crawled back, parked in the pits and went and had a nice cup of tea to calm my nerves :

greetings Stuart
well done with the van, i must say i was very close to the sideways action & it was well sideways, you may need to work on that trigger action set-up you have so you can keep both hands on the steering wheel

well done mate
regards
