4runner Donating Members 215 Member For: 20y 10m 10d Location: Sydney Posted 29/12/06 01:19 AM Share Posted 29/12/06 01:19 AM For those that missed it, there were 4 passes made in the 4.5 secs zone, with a best of 4.51 secs by Scott Kalitta in the Santo Rapisarda car. He also set the Australian National Speed record at 332.84 mph (that's over 535 kph )Phil read ran the first 4.5 earlier in qualifying. It would have to be one of the best race meets that I have been to although the spectator entry was a bit pricey at $50 a head for each day. - Made it worthwhile being an entrant though.I picked up over 2 tenths for the current engine combo (10.15 secs @ 129.8 mph) with a best 60 ft for the car of 1.37. Lost in the 1st round though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31456-wsid-boxing-day/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
