I'll let you know today after I take it for a drive. Also need to fix a potential fire hazard.

Well because of the drought the last 4 T&T's at Willowbank have been cancelled due to being washed out??. So tonight was the last chance this year. All was going good until my trusty tilt tray driver had to go Christmas shopping instead of racing.
So I drove it out to the track and run a PB of 15.3 @ 89.5mph with about 11 lbs of boost.
I had 2 stabs at 3rd so I reckon I would have cracked 90mph.
Next run lost all boost for some reason. Checked all the hoses, everything seemed ok, checked the turbo at home to make sure it was still turning (not seized) and it was all ok. Early diognosis is dodgy boost control. Stay tuned to find out.
Now i'm going to run in the Willowbank street series and have run fast enough to run "hot street". I predict 14's next year with some more tweaking and driver training.

Well done. I see they put you up against a nice slow street car as well 😂
Three of my runs were next to 10sec street cars. They make you concentrate more.

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 😂 UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list.
