Default Heathcote today...

Broke my cherry, and had my first taste of the strip. I can now answer all those "What'll she do" questions. I had nervous first run of 13.06 @113.26mph Win, followed by a 13.03 @ 113.04mph Win and shaky 13.26@ 111.94mph Win. Gave the car a break and a cooldown while I composed myself for a fresh assault on a 12...

Second session, and still nervous I changed tack and tried a higher rev on stallup. Fourth run was woeful, messed everything up. Went 13.38 @112.42 Win then I hit my PB for the day, with a 12.60 @114,01mph Win. A solo run completed this session, with a 12.80 @117.37mph then lunch.

Third session saw my only loss for the day on the first run. Went 12.86 @113.46mph Lose Opponent ran a 12.31 @121.20 Well done Commie SS. Followed this up with a 12.84 @112.02mph Win, and a final solo of 12.81@112.64.

Thanks to Craig at Aussie Car Enhancements for the loan of a helmet and some valuable pointers. All in all it was a funtastic day. Redrum (Jas) and Aumexican (Dave)were there, but I'm sure they would rather talk for themselves. They performed very well also.

I look forward to 4.11's and a High Stall, and an auto beef up. Then I'm hunting 11's out: out:
