It was a great night on Friday, met up with a few of the forum members. Didn't manage to crack a PB, best run was 15.27. Alot of people turned up because of the public holiday, about 100 cars

That would be me dude! And as much as I'd like to think its a Fairmont, its just a Falcon with a nose job! It was great meeting you too mate, looks like you had a ball!
I wasn't happy with my own performance on the night. All i could muster up was a 16.7 something. I guess my car is just not cut out to go fast.

Chris is doing the peddling mate, mainly just doing testing to see if the motor/clutch etc is performing properly, not realy chasing ET yet.

Yep, fair enough....it sounds like it is doing pretty well on its shake-down runs. Hope all goes well down there.

How soon do you get to bring it back up to Sydney?

Good work George! Atleast your hitting consistent times.

QUICK QUESTION....so i don't post a new topic. Is it a "priority" to have your bonnet intact while drag racing at caulder park? In other words...can i race without a bonnet on the BA at Caulder....
