Well thank god we had something to do yesterday, here are just a few images from yesterdays Test and Tune
Goss Coupe :- cant remeber its times but iirc it was around the high 14's The mighty Pano was cuttin' 11.4's The Purple monster had a pb of 11.33 The old trusty R/T was around the 15 seconds all night Menice and his horn Capri was the fastest car out there. Saw a few 8.9 second passes Another mid 12 second Classic The GT was on the money with a 14 flat This didnt run but ohhhhh so sexxxxy! In summary was a good night out. There was a roll over very early in proceedings, and a rotor power little Capellla that thought the engine would be happier spread from the 60ft mark to halfway down the track. THe Mazda engine let go big time, destroying the bonnet and litterally busting engine parts thru the bonnet in a spray of sparks. The number of sub 13 scond imports seems to be growing every time I venture out. On a modern car front the blue oval boys are hurting.. After seeing numerous sub 13s second runs from a few different GMH machines the late model Fords of mention were A Pursuit ute that axel tramped his way to a 14.00 A blown AU XR 13.4? A phantom XR6T ute that did 13.00flat 2 BA XR8 utes that were around the 14.3 Another turbo sedan with a nice(note heavy) audio setup in the mid 13's A BLuePrint XR6T (with GT stripes) also around the 13.5 The car of the night for me though was a close call between Menices' Capri and a Gold VX Commodore sleeper that did a 12.3. For novelty factor a Jeep Cherokee wagon did a 14.79 : (off course the times are from memory and I didnt see every run so I apologise in advance if any of the times are alittle muddled)
