Hi guys
A top night.
Pass 1 - 13.32 @ 108mph
Pass 2 - 11.90 @ 113mph
Pass 3 - 11.82 @ 114mph
Pass 4 - 11.67 @ 115mph

I was in BIG trouble on the first run, the track was still greasy (as I found out), and I gave it everything off the line, got crossed up and had to get out of it to avoid hitting the wall :driving:

After that, it seemed to hook up and drive better with each run. I dropped the tyre pressures which didn't hurt. Loved it :spoton:

Missed out on a 5th run due to a flat battery, but I didn't care by that stage. Thanks for helping out Struggler and Keith.

Cheers
Harve

It wasn't a bad night. Good to catch up with Keith and to put a face to Harve.

Harve, that is a great looking car, and quite a performer for something that was driven 100 to 200Km to the track and back. Glad you had fun and was happy to assist !!!

Here's a bit of footage, thanks to Ian Williams.

The long way down the strip (it felt worse than it looks too!):

It was a hoot !! I did break my battery hold down clamp though throwing it around. Didn't discover it until this morning and the resultant battery acid spill took some clean up !!!!

Keith , i was talking to Harve after his first run then later on with the battery issues, if that was your white SLR then i was the one that asked you to start it to jump start Harve's car (red holden jacket on) later talking to Ian. Struggler im not sure i met you , maybe next time. I should have introduced myself better although you were busy talking to Ian yourself.

I wish my car was VK671 :D

My burnout machine will be back on the pad soon. I'm gonna put it down the quarter and see what it does too.


I was going to come down and watch but I didn't think you guys would be going with the way the weather was looking.

Cheers
Marty
