Had a great night at Calder last night. It was good catching up with all the guys and good to see George out and about after his accident. Bad luck about Adam and the HPF ute breaking drivelines.

I managed a new PB of [email protected] with a 1.606 60'. This is about as fast as my car is going to go. The car's power is at the limits of a few of its components and the 60' is about as low as its going to get. A month ago this time would have had me over the moon and been quite an achievement. After recent events I'm a little sad as it means the record is well and truely out of my reach.

It will be interesting to see where the mighty T is in the next 12 months with Spiro, Adam, Steve, Simon and Brian pushing the boundrys. It should make for some great reading.

Geea. :spoton:

Craig well done mate a PB is exactly that :spoton: You should feel justifiably proud of your acheivements as you obtained the record doing it your way and spending probably a lot less money than those who are now pushing the envelope a little harder.

Wasn't long ago that I felt reasonably quick in the T with mid 12s :spoton: The Edit boys are now getting those times with 30+ less RWKW . That said after Turbocortys 13.2 in a stock Phoon I am somewhat encouraged that once modded I will be able to get my Phoon into the 12s as well, but with the added enjoyment of driving a manual through the twisties so all good :spoton:

10s are still damned quick :nono:

Well done Craig

Doesnt matter if the record is out of reach anymore you are the one that push the limits at the start you have had the fastest T in the country for a good 12 months at least now pushing the times lower and lower and there are cars around with more power at the wheels than your car that cant even crack a 10.

Well done to HPF also for building some of the best xr6 turbos around

It’s a PB, so be pleased, and still an excellent run for street tyres and pump fuel.

The standard has been lifted by Adam and Spiko recently, in a very short time, and all your pioneering is held in very high regard by most of us, and be sure it won’t be forgotten for a long time.

Well done.

STREET TYRES and PUMP FUEL.

Outstanding effort :blush: .

Craig, your car would have to one of the fastest/quikest regular street T's I know of, does regular shopping and work dutties, it isnt running slicks and front runners etc, keep site of what you have achieved with such simple and reliable mods.

The boys who are getting in the low 10's are really pushing hard and doing well, but so are you.

Congratulations and best of luck next time.

Now your finished with your MT's, send them up north so I can give the 11's a shake will ya :spoton:

:blush: Well done craig.

Was it pump fuel? If so why not run race fuel and make a better time?
