Cackling pipes took some great photos, I forgot that video was playing on the big screen, I thought it was replays of that days racing, it took me a while to work out it was video from Warwick

Here is a clip from Mike Kristens Ghia from a different perspective. this was a 9.4 @ 158mph. I think we will need a better GoPro mount

Here is another on board video of shane against Mike kristen. It may give an idea as to why some of the quicker cars decided not to continue racing. Unfortunately the track seemed to go away from us as the day progressed and as a safety call Shane & Mike decided enough is enough.

Shit I think I saw that run, looks much more scary from your point of view


Performance Upholstery - February 27th, 2014 at 09:06 AM

Because they all ran out of undies??? I understand... That looked scary. Imagine If Shane crossed the centreline and mike cleaned him up at that speed!!

You definitely have to respect the track, your car, yourself and just as importantly the person in the lane beside you.


fish26 - February 27th, 2014 at 10:30 AM

Well said,..........awesome pics all round, Grover looks tough as nails, when do we see it race?


vw54 - February 27th, 2014 at 01:19 PM

Great driving Shane n Mike

I saw the run from behind i think you were both going sideways down the track bit slippery


vassy66T1 - February 27th, 2014 at 04:53 PM

I like this thread!! Keep it going.

Performance Upholstery - February 27th, 2014 at 06:50 PM

What sort of boost is that buggy running pazzan??? It sounds off its tits!


PAZZAN - February 27th, 2014 at 08:26 PM

17 psi, gives it 253 hp atw left it at that setting all day I thinks with better traction it might go very low 12s:tu::tu:


Craig Torrens - February 27th, 2014 at 08:54 PM
