As I type this at 2:20pm it`s fairly cool. Fairly stiff breeze. Lets hope we have some record aiding cooler weather tonight.

Ima put me slicks on after me Nanna nap.

Huge crowd, very slow trip down the staging lanes.

I arrived and signed in at 6pm. I think my first failure run was 8:30pm.

I did a really good burnout, made sure I positioned the car so it didn`t crab during the skid, stalled it straight to 2,500 no probs but it started to creep so as I had the 2 staging lights on thought it`d be okay. Forgot the christmas tree has to start or you won`t trigger the beams.

No time recorded.

It rocketed out of the hole we`ll never know the 60 foot... rest of the run felt pretty unremarkable though. It`s history now.

Second and last run, it was quite cool, they was still hope. I didn`t position the car too well partly due to the Victor Bray style burnout the guy in front of me did. Pea soup fog it was like.

So, car crabbed but I still thought it might have got some heat.

Got a bit of wheelspin off the line and it shuddered a lil bit in second. 11.70.

I`ve annoyed that I`ve probably wasted the last cold night of the year. This afternoon I was in 2 minds as to whether my heart ( and head ) was 100% in going out there.

Possibly I should have left it go. I`m not gonna cut my wrists but yeah, flutuating fortunes.

FPV Steve`s last run was absolutely mint from start to finish.

11.50 and it looked really fast. Well done, guy

It was Steve`s night, he jagged the fast moving lines and did about 25 runs easy..

lol..

Thanks Johno!!! I saw your last run and yeah you definately had traction issues in first, but your mid track looked really quick. Dont retire her yet mate, she's got more left in her for sure.......

Was a good night for it though those motorbikes really gave me the :pooh:s . Everyone could have had quite a few more runs if those harvey wall bangers werent there. Good to see a few of the forum members out there. See ya's next time.

Steve yeah mate.. I mean its a free country and the best part about drag racing is everyone gets a go

Worst part is, everyone gets a go!!

Heart goes out to that guy in the 20B Kombi ( not a typo ) that broke whatever.

Well done boy's, good to keep getting PB's each time you go out.

It is hard to be pissed off despite not being in the zone as The Bogan puts it, I still ran a PB.

It is funny when you arrive back at the lanes, a stranger in a Late model camira or similar will ask what you ran, you go awwww 11.7 I fvcked it up

Poor bastard feels like kicking you and says: ya pissed orf at doing 11`s!!??

Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you.

Hi All,

It was a good turn out last night with a good representation of Blue Oval supporters. I was pretty pleased with my effort for a stock standard car. First run was a 12.70 @ 111.44mph & 2.02 60ft. Second run I was waiting too long for my competitor to stage and pushed through the staging beam, saw the red light come on and thought I may as well go now for a pretty poor 13.31 @ 111.22mph & 2.54 60ft, shame as it felt like another strong run. The third and last run was a 12.81 (no terminal speed recorded for some reason) and a 2.05 60ft. All in all it was an enjoyable if not chilly night.

Congratulations to the two Mark's who came out for their first time and put in respectable low to mid 13sec passes.
