Saw a couple of your runs last night. First was around 15.6 which I thought was pretty decent. Good to see you into the 15.4's.. nothing wrong with that time at all.

Hey I think I spoke to you during the night. Were you the one that recently converted from auto to manual and knocked something like .4 sec off your previous time? Thats a very good achievement for a first time out the drags with a manual.......its a whole new ball game with a :eclipsee_. A bit more practice and you will probably knock a tenth or two off that time.

Hey dude, as GK said, that was me! I was pretty impressed with the time you were running too considering the limited mods on your car. Thanks heaps for the encouragement. I was only out there for the experience, but to knock half a second off my time was awesome! I would have loved to get a time slip, but as you said, it was mayhem out there last night! It was scary to go out with the stick shift for the first time. Especially after coming off my last run with a cabin full of burnt clutch! :
I think i will give it a rest till the next Heathcote run, and see how it goes then!

Evan

yeh i was suprised it did a 15.4 lol i just didnt think it was gonna go any faster! first few runs i got bad luck with staging as they let us go as soon as we staged and didnt have time to properly set the revs. I had 15 inch stockies on aswell, suprised it got power down so well!
Saw a typhoon there aswell, a blue one. it did some wicked time like a 12.1...is the car from the forums does any one know?

Thats Charliewool's F6. Edit tune and uprated injectors are the only mods on that car. Very impressive times for under $2K in mods.

Envi, what was your MPH, dont worry about the time so much... 15.4 is decent though..
If your at 88MPH then you've got a 15.0.. 90MPH+ then thats 14.9's or faster.

There you go, you have the mph to break into the 14's.. just takes practise from here.
