Thanks Bones car went well have to ease up on the weetbix broke the gear stick on the 3rd qualifing run. Numbers were down but a good day all the same. The car wasn't as quick asI would've liked due to the wrong gearing in the diff,should be correct gears for this weekend at the WSID.

Thats a friends car and what can i say other then he was so lucky that it didnt tip on its side, did fair bit of damage aswell, crushed pipes, front and rear engine plates are bent also pulled the front bolts out of the heads also did alittle damage to the front fenders as subframe has moved up.
First pass the car ran out of fuel and thats why it didnt keep going up then ned gave the carbs a retune and thats what happend.
Allan is just happy that was all that happend and cant wait to get a photo :spoton:

Just a shame that it didnt make a full pass, always a next time though.

Struggler,that was me with the LJ sponsored by Skips. Did you drop the Malibu off on Saturday arvo? I had a great day running consistant 14.2s best et was 14.201 @ 93.35 mph not bad times for a 202 that I can still drive to the shops to get a loaf bread. Had some pretty good reaction times with a .077 & .007 which I happy with, even the Red light wasn't that bad -.097 just have to read the lights better, not used to the extra grip.
