Well done Jabba, that's one tough XR8 Ute you have (had). Great to see everyone supporting each other to get the results.

I have to work on Paul to fit a set off 4.10's. And I will buy the slicks and front runners.... See what happens

Let me know when you head out again Jabba, I am sure Honky will appreciate that you are going to pay for the rubber!!!! I will bring the whole Biscuit clan to watch you!!!

Arrr, I would love to. But after destroying a new set off MT I might have to leave it for a while... As it stands, I am drowning at work, that I can barely keep up with the program, and those late night kill me the next day, Or so money is good, so I want go like the clappers and get what I can before Christmas, and get those Drag slicks and front runners....

Well done Jabba! Seriously quick car there!

It's always great to see a different combo working and showing fantastic results.
There is always more than one way to skin a cat...

At end of the day, It's an 11 sec slip, and well done for getting a manual into 11s!!!!!

Cheers

One thing everyone should know, Chris and ACE helped me a lot by sharing there knowledge with me to help me get the best out off my ute on the 1/4.. I have not got any off there products, and my set up is very differant to what they run,,,,Yet they still helped me get the ute into the 11's.... To me this speaks volumes about the characters themselves.. They are both great blokes and deserve a huge amount off respect...
