I believe there is an 11.8 in her yet! Thanks again to yourself and Deek, Mark and Peter and the rest of the guys who pitched in in help push cars around and provide advice etc, overall it was a great night. BTW thanks for the beers Geea it topped off what was a great night, I felt like a kid in a toy store. For the guys that did not attened it was a fantastic night with PB's all round. Also congrats to Deek I'm sure he will tell you of his oustanding result.I had my first time out on the track after Phoenix inherited parts of Boof.I had a 13.4 @107.98mph with a 2.3 60" time.Overal I ended up happy with this, even though the mph and the slow 60" time indicates that Phoenix has a high 12 in him. The challenge is getting the manual off the line, and I always thought that people were exagerating when they said it was hard to get a manual T off the line, but they were'nt Considering I have hardly driven Phoenix since the power upgrade I was overall very happy with a 13.4. There is more there but by the end of the night and after Rod had a go at trying to get Phoenix down the qtr quicker than me, the clutch decided it was too hot and had said that's it for the night boys.So we will see what happens next time round, until then valve springs to be done a bit more practice with the manual, and bring on the 12's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 02/10/04 01:19 AM Author Share Posted 02/10/04 01:19 AM JB I don't think many manuals have gone quicker than 13.4. Maybe someone could make a list of manual "T" 1/4 mile times cause I reckon you'd be close to the top. Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think BCL(Brian) has done a 13.1 at the creek and I've also seen a guy in a man ute with 320 rwklw driven by Vic from C&V RUN A 12.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me think that the less power you have the better time you will get, as the more power the harder it is to get down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you strap it in George I'll gladly carry it for the 1/4. It should make some good viewing. It would be good to see what the boost and oil preasure gauges are doing cause I dont get a chance to look at them whilst I'm racing. Geea.
