On tonight man it was a pearler of a night had 11 passes(was hardley anyone there) the new diff gears were a big handfull will take a bit of getting use to, heres my run in order.

13.067@105.41 1.829 60'

13.275@105.82 1.987 60'

13.214@105.84 1.933 60'

13.241@105.45 1.938 60'

14.262@100.95 1.980 60' missed 2nd

13.078@106.03 1.868 60'

12.997@106.17 1.830 60'

13.065@106.03 1.881 60'

13.103@105.46 1.915 60'

13.044@106.15 1.859 60'

13.625@102.42 1.964 60' missed 3rd

rel humidity 82%
air temp 17c
track temp 29c
Mate these 4.1 diff gears are wild the 4 13.0's had good start but was doing lousy gear changes, first gear is a bit of a blur might need a shift light. On my first pass did good start good gear changes but when I hit 2nd she spun most of the gear (was the first car down the track) could of been a good one. Mate I just stoked to get into the 12's better driving I think i could get a bit more out of it.
Lastly thanks Craig(Phantom) and Rich (HOT460) for your support also well done Rich he won the jackpot for best reaction time .004 plus $300.
Fogot to mention my car is a 6speed manual.

What tyres and what mods were you running Wade, I know its been tuned by Chris so it must be good. Also congrat's on your time Sounds like a awsome beast of a car - and manual too :

Great work Wade! It was cool sitting on the start line and seeing that 12. come up. Chris has done a great job with your tune, diff etc being 1000klms away.But it also takes plenty of skill and dedication to hit that et in a manual and that shows by being the 1st Unopenned there! Congratulations Dude. :

Well done again Mate.
You will be getting plenty more 12's before you finish.
Looks like it must have been another quiet night at WSID, the weather looked a bit dodgy I guess.
