Hey Guys,

I'm heading up to Heathcote this weekend in my ute, to see what kinda times it can do down the Quarter. I'm heading up with a couple of mates.

Anyone else heading up? Or want to head up?

I'd be stoked with anything <13.5. I know my launching skills in the ute aren't awesome, and I don't want to kill the stock clutch with it being a daily, So I'll probably get shit 60ft times, easing it off the line!

Brett reckons if i can pedal it good, a high 12 isn't out of the question, but I am not expecting that! He is also bringing up his laptop, to tweak the tune for the track as well! HAHAHA!

He has offered for me to try on his M/T's for a run or two though! HAHA!

He has borrowed some slicks too, he really wants to crack the 10! We are heading up in a convoy if anyone wants to tag along!

At least he's dressed like a man, faggio.

My mate wants me to go to a Hillclimb on Sunday, but drag racing would probably be great as well. Can't afford to drive to Heathcote or anything though LOL

13.8 @ 108MPH, terrible 60ft times! and a bit too much wheel spin!!!

Way toooooo busy too, well over 150 cars! I only got 5 runs in.

If i could practice a bit more and get my 60fts down, a 12 aint out of the question!

My mate ran two 10.9's @ 130mph, so he is happy as larry!

My Torana gets better 60ft times! LOL

I was getting 2.3 60ft times.... The torana gets 2.2's! And i know the ute is faster! LOL

I Tried on some drag radials for my 2nd 13.8... It just bogged off the line cos i didnt give it enough...

I only got 1 run after lunch, thanks to cars spitting oil on hte track, and shutting down one lane completely, and every 15min on the only open lane!

How'd u go today mitch?
