Im glad i stuck around johno had my 2nd and final run for the night at 10.30 after another couple of oil downs. But i got a new PB, 12.95 @ 109, im still not sure that its right though......im starting to think the time clock stuffed up or something? Its .36 and 2.5mph better than my previous time and im not sure what wouldve made the difference, maybe it was the cold weather!

After the Winter nationals it should quieten down. I think Willowbank runs all year round. Might be wrong though.

How do you rekon your engine will respond to the 2nd CAI and K&N?

Thanks mate.

It was an eventful night (apart from the all the farken waiting around - 2 runs in 5 hours - but at least I got 2 in - a few blokes only got 1 )

Firstly ran the 11.43@119.5 - happy as a pig in sh!t about that.

I managed to get back to the staging lanes for a third run and was the last car to run on the night - got to the start line - bloke taps on the window and tells me I'm dropping water.

Backed the car up and pop the bonnet - had about a 1inch split in one of the hoses near the drivers side firewall

No tools of course and most people had headed home (this is about 10:45pm). Thankfully a Security bloke helped me out with a torch and a screw driver and Al (cooltint) was still hanging around and had some blades in his glovebox. Cut about 2" from the end of the hose and had enough left to refit. So I fill the reservoir up with water and off I go.

Stop at the servo to put some air back into the tyres - sitting waiting for another bloke to finish with the air hose and this girl backs into me. I saw her coming and thought "She's not gonna stop!" so I jumped on the horn - good 3 seconds or so before she finally stops - after collecting my bumper - then she drives off, but stops on the other side of the servo. But guess what - the plastic bumpers are actually good for something - no damage.

Anyone remember the other thread about "Jinxed and Blessed". It's happened again! Some good, some bad, but all good in the end really. I think I'm a pretty lucky b@stard really.

Oh, forgot to mention that when I finally got to the air hose it was leaking - clamp was loose, so had to fix it too before I could put air in the tyres

Cheers Tabatha....when is your machine getting a gersey out there?
[right][snapback]390442[/snapback][/right]

So you had a good night Phil....is that what you're trying to say?  Must have been the day for it, had someone do some rearranging to the tailgate on the ute yesterday that didn't realise all the traffic in front of him was stopped

Congrats to you other freaks as well
[right][snapback]390333[/snapback][/right]

The cooler weather certainly helps. I had a new PB with a 13.06 @ 107.48mph (13deg ambient temp) despite only getting the one run in. Glad I could help with the knife blade Phil.

Bloody good time for a stocker Al. It's a pity you didn't get a couple more runs in. There's a 12 there for you for sure.

And thanks for the blade - bloody sharp and worked a treat.
[right][snapback]390927[/snapback][/right]

Your'e most welcome my friend.

Yeah I felt a 12.99 coming but maybe next time.

That sux mate. How much damage?
[right][snapback]390923[/snapback][/right]

Less than I thought by the impact - tough f*ckers those utes.  Will be new bumper and possibly a tailgate though.

Time for me to move on I think, that's three trips to the surgeon now and none of them my fault

Must be something about the baby poo colour

Hi All

The next Saturday night Test n Tune is on 15th July. Is anyone interested in going up? It's not near any major event so shouldn't be so many Drag cars to cause oil downs.

With the cooler months upon us this would be a good time to see what our cars are really capable of.

Gates open at 4pm, racing from 4.30pm.

Any interest?
