I saw the car was getting some improvements during the week, sounds like they're working
A 12 will certainly be a great achievement |

OK GAME OVER for tonight best was a 13.06 but plenty of racing to come,for this weekend dave is very happy with the car and from what l have been hearing it's the first time a 13 sec car has given chris a fright as it was a bit loose going through the top end of the track.
l suppose l would be too if the thing was stepping out on me half track

Hi guys, ended up with a 13.06, and as the night got cooler the NITTO's turned to .
Time for a tyre update, these Nitto's are junk. 1.97 60ft, and 86.5 mph to the half. The rest of the 60's were useless - 2.3's etc. Its nice to know that the worst run was a 13.32 with a 2.35 60ft, at only 100mph (waaay off the gas) im jealous of Daves car!! |

Well only two things to say thanks to Chris at Bluepower who has become a very close friend and Simon at Xtreme top job on the car or as it has been nicknames the Purple Puss.
Can't say enough good things about these guys, every time the car has gone out it's gone quicker and on the street it is a weapon. Chris mate a just can't thank you enough for everything all i will say is YOU THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe next time out 12's?

Given a few more runs you may have got your 12 sec pass Dave, good stuff almost there.
Chris, i know you have been putting in a huge effort into this, 0.07 isn't much good work... nice improvement on the 60, is it still a Standard stall and standard 4 speed BA auto? . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ . plenty of old school GT's was great to see, Alex 12.32 --------------------------------------------------------------------- . Good to see another Chris in his red LS1, Take the Unopened LS1 record 11.7 prepared by G&D PERFORMANCE ...

Jeff you left at the right time, botched oil clean ups, no organization wrecked the night for many racers with only having limited passes....
I am always fairly positive about Calder Park, I don’t what’s happening but they need to get there sh!t together, no white absorbent powder to clean oils spills up…. then they spent 1 hour cleaning oil up with mops then decided to shut the lane down, they reverted to single lane passes. ..wasted 1 good hour of racing.. They need to find away to get the cars down the strip quicker forget about all the new security and bullcrap time wasting measures.. There are plenty who love the burn out comp, but to let the useless 4 cyl sigma come back out and waste another 10 mins of valuable racing time was a disgrace.. Calder Park in recent weeks has lost the plot... We need some people who know about racing to run things there.. maybe some OFR members could take over..

At the pizza place they were playing the video of the Capri running down the strip on the TV while we were eating. Capri spun the crank on the last run, that will hurt the hip pocket.. to much NOS..

I believe it was a good night had by all, a bittersweet one for us........... We have had the auto in and out of sly's car, broken pump gears caused us to try a converter, people who were at heathcote will tell u the results of that. the flashing "d" on the dash will tell you the story. Hopefully when the software is nutted, a 1.7 60 with a 3500 stall should yield fun for all 260 owners with a slushbox mark, that means you and me!! |

So close to a 12. Hopefully you'll get it next week. These cars are starting to get some nice numbers. It will be good to see what theyu are doing in a year or so.
Geea.
