Decided as Im on holidays to go out to WSID.

Heaps of cars as usual but managed 4 runs before they did the burnouts and thought nope just go home.

Best for the night was my last run, still more left in it I think with a better 60' but hard to concentrate with a 10sec V8 roaring next to you.

R/T: .616
60' : 2.247
330': 5.633
660': 8.480
1000': 10.886
MPH: 106.89
K/mh: 172.03
ET: 12.973

Now better learn to change gears before the rev limiter says so and put in a good shifter.

I think the EJ20T has a lot to do with it

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Thanks guys.

Dave who said this wasnt addictive? My goal was actually 12.9 but I really didnt think I could do it, so Im wrapped :blush but here I am driving home thinking OK what do I need to do to get it as a consistant low 12sec car. I wont learn:P

A slightest bit of cred would have been nice. If it was a beetle recognisable to the world then the guys on the microphone may have stopped yawning but then Im sure they would have come out with some German wise cracks............oh well what can you do when they live and breath 8 cylinders?

I'd say with some better launches you will loose perhaps half a second.
Perhaps some of those MT Drag radials?

Well done.

I've bumped a few people that know of your car and all the work you've put into it. Sure you've put another engine in it but I bet there's a serious amount of work getting the rest of the car up to speed and making it reliable and steetable.

I'm glad to hear the hard yakka is paying off.

A 12 second type 3, what a crack-up.

How was traction? Raising the rear of your car a little will help with grip, I reckon 😉

No more stock box. Nothing over the top, Albins 1st and 2nd, course tooth kombi 3rd and 4th, super diff, heavy duty side plate and a usual good rebuild....................fingers crossed. In drag circles Im a real pussy off the line, thus the 60' time. I like the thought of still be able to drive home!

Glenn, traction was no problem at all, slammed 2nd, squatted down and kept pushing forward :P

in my experience, the only things that get any attention out there have chevs in em.

the cars that make me yawn the most are the stock HSV dunnydores. It's like, "look I can do a burnout with 18inch rims and 50pnds of tyre pressure!"
