11.9 is awsome but 123mph is even better, that's a 10 sec pass

thanks chris am very happy with the mph,ive stuffed the start up I stalled it right up then the lights took ages to go so I dropped the revs off as ive blown tranny oil pump gears before from stalling it too long,then when they went I was only between 2300 to 2400 then took off.cant wait for the weather to get chilli who knows I might get a ten(fingers crossed)

cheers lee

Man dies in dragster crash

A man has died after crashing his drag-racing car into a concrete barrier at a raceway west of Brisbane.

The 60-year-old was practising for an organised event at the Willowbank Raceway at Ipswich when the accident occurred about 8.40pm (AEST) on Saturday, police said.

Police are still investigating.

A Willowbank Raceway spokesman said the man was testing his front-engine rail dragster when he crashed. Officials immediately closed the track.

"Willowbank Raceway officials extend their most heartfelt sympathies to the man's family at this difficult time," the spokesman said.

It is the second serious accident at the raceway in a month.

Two men were critically injured when their race car slammed into a wall at the track on February 11.

Who ever wrote that got it wrong!!!

Two men were injured at the Willowbank Motorsport precinct yes, but not at Willowbank raceway!

That was when a car hit the wall at Qld Raceway & it was a V8 experience car!

These are 2 seperate incidents at 2 different track, in 2 different forms of motorsport run by 2 different organisations!

Does anyone know who was killed?
