So say i race you, let you go first and i wait and get myself comfortable and 5-10seconds after you leave i take off and run my time you get your time blahblah and i still get my 12.5 it doesn't affect it.

Man, if you're still there after 10 seconds I'm gonna leave the grandstand and push you down the track!

last night update...

it was farking freezing....after a massive burnout i reeled off a 15.6 cause i had absolutely no traction in 1st, 2nd, and the first time no traction in 3rd...scared the shit out of me....

2nd run pulled off a tidy 13.149 just beating my old pb, sub 2 60ft at 104mph

3rd decided to try a short shift 3rd so it came on boost in 4th before i crossed the line....ran a 13.244 but at 107.5mph, got an extra 3.5mph but didnt help my time....

4th was a blinder through 1st & 2nd....left parts of third on the track as i crunched hardcore.....

5th was best of the night....ray told me what 2rismo told him regarding 2 stage launch technique.....tried it and did my best 60ft of 1.911. Almost 12's

60ft 1.911

E/T 13.081

MPH 104.25

Disappointing night for me.. hence why i didn't call/sms you 2rismo :ninja:

Track was cold and slippery i felt like a hovercraft when i was in 3rd/4th gear going down the track, i REALLY need to learn to do burnouts.. Benm warned me to smoke em up i ATTEMPTED too but as soon as i tried the car went sideways and my tyres were still cold :ninja: <so hard to make the car stay still for burnouts - Moanie you gotta give me some BURNOUT lessons>

Still managed a 12.913@114mph with a crappy 2.05x 60ft though

VESPA: i Saw your car in the car park when i arrived and went into my staging lane, then you disappeared what happened did you something give way?

Congrads on the New Pb Brendan i reckon a few more runs with 2rismo's launch technique<which i haven't perfected> and your in the 12's mate

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
