Well after all the long hiurs and work to get the car ready for warwick we got there and we had a ball. Our team took home five trophys in total which
they will post details about. I had a few runs to get the feel of the car and to find out about any teething probs. Such as the brakes, which was only
an adjustment issue.i am happy to say The car exeeded my expectation and did everything right..(cant say the same about the driver. Lol). Ended up
running a best et of 6.712 @ 100.9mph which was the 2nd fastest et for the weekend second only to wayne.. A big thanks to all of our team especially
wayne and ben. It was great to catch up with some of you up there and have a chat. Will post pics etc when we get back

Gday. Just out of curiosity, did you get the car weighed track-ready?
My guess is "not much" (600kg?), but still interested, it's pretty seriously stripped.
