Congrats to Simon at XFT, first run tonight at the Kwinana Motorplex in the XFT "SCJ" FG race ute netting a blistering 9.44 @ 148.5mph.
1.55 in the 60' and there is room for improvement with no transbrake on the launch and a gentle 2500rpm leaving the line..... Simon was so surprised (excited?  ) at the lack of tyreshake and good hookup that he accidentally shortshifted first at around 6K.He has been allowed another attempt so we'll see how he goes from here. Well done so far mate.... you've broken new ground tonight. Daniel |

Sorry it ended up running a 9.40@147.8 after the first run and this was the second. Better put that in also.
