Default Daboss Is The Da King

Well boys and girls just got home from Calder.

First of all I’d like to thank all the boys from BPR and The ORSM club cause they just are.

But a big thanks goes to Chris at BPR ( Blue Power ) FOR MAKING THIS BLACK BEAST MOVE. All the hard work has payed off bro. :

FIRST RUN

60” 2.077

HALF TRACK 8.50 @ 89.25MPH

ET 12.994 @ 109.89MPH


SECOND RUN
60” 2.19

HALF TRACK 8.68 @ 86.94MPH

ET 13.19 @ 109.03MPH


THRID RUN
60”2.09

HALF TRACK 8.58 @ 86.92MPH
ET 13.09 @ 109.27MPH


FORTH RUN
60” 2.06

HALF TRACK 8.50 87.37MPH
ET 12.991 @ 109.97MPH

FIFTH RUN60” 2.066

HALF TRACK 8.47 88.65MPH

ET 12.938 @110.41MPH



SIXTH RUN

60” 2.037

HALF TRACK 8.44 89.87MPH

ET 12.914 @ 110.51MPH

I PRETTY SURE THIS NOW IS THE VERY FIRST 290 AUTO SEDAN IN THE 12’S AND THE FASTEST BY FAR. THIS WAS ALL DONE ON MY NEXEN TIRES STREET STREET TIRES.

I THINK I’M IN CLUB 12 NOW ,,,,, WOW WOW WEE WOW

Thats a good consistent effort, have you fitted a hi-stall in yours yet?
Congrats Rob & Bluepower.
Would be nice to see a few more GT's fly the flag.

NO Wade Rob's car still has standard stall and gears......

Air temp we can only guess l would say about 18-17 as Calder do not tell you the air temp on the time slips

And congratulations to Chris for preparing another 12 second Boss with plenty left in reserve :king:

Yes and well done Chris, almost forgot the man behind the man, does that sound gay to anyone else : , no in all seriousness though well done on another milestone. Considering it was ran with street tyres, perhaps the next time you might convince Robbie to go a set of either semi or even full slicks, but at the very least sonething a lot stickier than what was run, and then diff gears and a stall might see a 290 in the 11's before long, only a matter of time.

Once again well done to everyone involved, I'm just sorry I couldn't be their to see it happen, unreal how tired work makes you, people warned me of this phenomenon, might have to retire again :

Robbie doesn't need stickier tyres as he had no wheelspin out of the hole so why would you want to change tyres for, this car has a 12.8 coming the way it is.....

Un-touchable with street tires. :sm_headba :evilking:
