Default Took my N/A ba xr6 to heathcote today

Hey guys

I decided to give my n/a ba xr6 a run at heathcote. The car actually surprised me, I honestly thought my car would do a 15.5 - 15.8.
My best run was a 15.0 @ 93.5mph and that was my 2nd run out of the 8 I did. My 60ft time was 2.2. The worst time I did was a 15.3 so overall I was very happy with the car's performance.
The only mod I have done is the typhoon 2nd hole box.

That's a great time with only F6 CAI it is manual I assume? Have you got factory LSD also?

It's exactly like caldar, you turn up, pay then race. I prefer heathcote because you can drag when ever you want without waiting in a big queue like caldar. Prices are good too, $40 to race and $15 to watch.

what time do they open and close, and how many people are usually there.... can you get a few rund in without too much hassle?

Yeah that's a great time and an awesome 60ft time I might add. I seem to get mostly low 2.4's and the odd 2.3.

Great time there for a stock car (lets face it, the intake isnt a huge mod so its basically stock). Certainly one of the fastest BA XR6 NA's I've come across and definatly the fastest stock one.

Couldnt mis my car, I was parked near the control tower with 6 guys trying to reef a stuck wheel off the back.

Hi mate thanks, here's my time slip. I was mostly surprised with my 60ft times, I never got worse then a 2.3.

My previous car was a BA ghia v8 and the best time I got in that was also a 15.0 with a 2.2 60ft time....So this xr6 of mine surprised me lol.

I apologize if the time slip isn't clear, my scanner isn't the best..
