Default Willow bank 22nd June 14.7 sec run

Went to willow bank on Wd night and hubby dida 14.7 second run down the quarter mile, he had alot of wheel spin so hopefully next run we'll get a bit more outa her. One o these day's I'll get behind the wheel and give her a floggin.

We have a ford falc s pack AU II with a few mods, JMM cam, cold air induction, 2.5 inch zorst, lukey headers, flow through cat, not sure what else, I'll get all the details later and post em up if ya want. She had new treads on as well, half of its now sitting on me mud flaps :SaiyanSmi next time we'll use some chaser wheels instead of my good rubber!!!

There was a silver AU XR8 series I down there went like a rocket and did a 13.8 some thing. Also a BA XR8 ute that was in the 12's.. not sure who drove these car's, I was enjoying the show too much.... but nuthing can top off the blue cortina that's frount wheels didn't touch the ground till half way down the track!!!

There were a few nos car's that flew I didn't remeber every thing, was too over powered and awwed by the jet cars they had there *knew I shoulda taken the marsh mellows!!!*

The silver Au xr8 was probally SLIPPER (Matt) off the forums and he was running slow, usually in the low 13's.

I backed up my 14.4 that night....sigh!
I had a lil more power on board this time i feel but I was one of a few that couldn't get much traction out there. My 60ft was a over enth slower than last time but i ran the same times so i guess thats good enough.

yeah sorry for the late reply, busy week end. She's a manual, wont get me driving no damed well auto crap (and sorry if that offends its my opinion).
Awsome I'll have to introduce me self next time. I did talk to the silver AU he said he ran in the low 13's but was getting alot of wheel spin as well (was the lil chick in the FPV (blue and grey) jacket that asked him if it was a manual or auto he said its manual). Musta been the track that night, most every one was getting some wheel spinning that night.

Sylox were you out there? if so what did ya run?
