The car performed extremely well and without fault, and we're looking forward to more action this weekend (go easy on us, we're pretty new at
this!). No times. Hopefully traction off the start will be a bit better next week after more track prep, though it was still launching pretty hard
from a 4000 stall. Still hard to believe this car was street registered virtually 'as is' in California (only expired 12 months ago!).
Peter - window was only down for golden photo op!
As for the sound - what I heard was nice!

I think Rohan did well at his first attempt at Drag Racing and getting used to the car as well.
I think his best time was 7.7sec with him backing off at the end but broke out on his 7.9 dial in.

Thats a cool pic that last one.
Shame I did not get a chance to come and say hello.
What times and speeds did you run Rohan?
Looks like you got plenty of 'seat time' at Warwick,
which is a great chance being it was a car that you were not familiar with.
...especially one with the driver on the left!!

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words - I think a great weekend was had by all who attended, and I met some great people. We were all very happy with
how the car performed (with the only small issue being the accelerator cable separating from it's end at the carb on saturday - easily fixed!), and I
had an absolute blast driving it up the strip! All things considered, I reckon I did OK for a first ever drag racing attempt by a complete novice! -
though my reaction times leave a lot to be desired.. hopefully this will improve with more practice.
For those who are interested, I set my dial in at 7.90 after running some reasonably consistant times Saturday arvo -
8.021@87.20
7.946@89.46
7.942@89.29
First couple of Sunday wins -
8.053@88.58
8.143@87.38
Then I'm not sure what happened - I think the 'red mist' that I keep hearing about got into my helmet and I finished the rounds with two breakouts
-
7.730@81.67
7.74(according to video/audio recording) @??- my printout was mucked-up so ET/speed was illegible.. (I was racing V123 - I think that was you Rose? If
so, please let me know the details!).
What was really suprising for me was the fact that I backed off on these final two passes after catching the other cars and was even on the brakes
well before the traps, and still well improved my time! I was trying to play the bracket game, but part of me now wishes I had just kept it flat to
see what those times could have been, as they did feel fast from the start!! Oh well, there's always the next race.. I think I may have caught the
drag 'bug'! The dust has officially been blown off!

I was V88 the one when you did your 7.73@8167 run.
Now the dust has gone it will go faster.
It was my first ever drag race as well. Would of been fun in your bug.
My best time was a 10.653@63.11

7.7's is more than fast enough to blow the dust off!!
Good effort Rohan.
Hope to see you at the track again soon.
That is a good effort from you too Rose!
Your car looks great, and the performance is better than most modern hohum cars.
Now you need a trip to WSID to try the 1/4 mile!
