Default wsid 23/1/07 Tonight.
Boy what a night . Was the first time I have ever watched drag racing. It was a big eye opener. There was not one na ford six there tonight.
All in all the cobra replica went down for its first 1/4 mile got 2 runs and got a 13.2 before rain made it slippery. Also a classic supercharged mustang took to the track in its first ever go and pulled a 14.3 of 2 runs. Xr6t ran a 13.9 and fpv gtp ran 13.9.

The best ford was a Capri by Trick and Maswetto running a 9.9 second pass.
Just for comparison saw a commy v6 pull 16.4's

Got a bit scary though when a pac racing car hit the wall nd burst into flames..it has got me thinking second thoughts about this sport.

Always look at the reasons of why it happened before you make any rash judgements. You mentioned rain was it a factor? Is the car up to standard? Is the driver experienced? Was he on the pedal for too long? etc etc etc. The facility is magnificent so there is always a reason.

A man's got to know his limitations.

This sport is very exciting, don't let one incident spoil it for you. I have lost some friends in this sport but they new the risks and they died doing what they loved..............

Yer true mate.It was just a knee jerk reaction.

The car looked like it was headed for an 8 second pass when the thing waved around and into the wall with a ball of flames.Luckily the guy jumped out.

Overall it was great fun to watch as I have raced when I have gone in the past.
