Henry , grate reaction light , out front but back off to much . Other gut ( Roy Argie) drove around him for the win .
Well done Henry , car sounds like it was running well .
What was your best run for the day ?
Cheers
did a 1.59. with the bars on. lifted them right up this time. felt really good when launching.Missed gears in my 2 qualifying runs then backed off to much in first round. Think i need a few TNT days to get some more practice in.

Great but tiring night. Personally, very dissapointed in the All Motor final (missed 2nd gear).
I out reacted Roy .070 to his .356 however there is about .5 seconds in a missed gear
Best E.T. - 11.778
Best mph - 114.94
Best Reaction - .030
Best 60' - 1.581
Now, if only I could get all these numbers together on one run!!!
funny thing is he was running a soft tune and low boost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go figure!!!!!!!!!!! The 9 is there somewhere!!!!!!!!!!! Well done to the WPVW guys. Good show as always
Just home after a great weekend.....gotta love a road trip.
Congratulations to Henry for getting into the finals, only wish I (and others) hadn't missed it, was a long day and the PA wasn't too crash hot down where the dubs were. Also to Wayne and Chris for getting thier awesome 10 second cars onto the track and performing well. I hear the left hand lane was never the same again after Wayne peeled all the rubber from the start line.
Col ran well with a PB from the present setup, but I'll let him fill in the details.

Wayne may correct me, but I believe both wkeelies were in first gear, the front came up unexpectedly due to some last minute clutch mods, off the gas and back on it brought up the front a second time.....POWER ON DUDE 🙂

Wayne , I new that the clutch I gave you was going to work well , but , I think you had better now get some bars to keep it down . ROD.
More boost + More fuel = More power

thanks Rod , but I dont think it was the second hand cinter-iron disc that you sold me that made it hook up so viciously on my first pass . It was the stage-4 pressure plate with ductlie shoe that I spent an hour refacing on the milling machine friday afternoon .
After the first pass the clutch lost its edge and was a lot better off the line for the remainder of my passes , later running a 10.29@135mph on low boost .
