I am and I`m reliably informed that the Bogan and the Typhoon Freak will also attend.

Okay I`m prolly first home, I ended up with 11.85 @ 119.84 mph.

I always vow to never return on a wednesday night, I generally fail . First run I got my best ever mph, 120 .64 despite launching the car in second gear like a complete goose.

Next run not entirely sure what I stuffed up but I netted an 11.92, shattering my previous PB of 11.95.

Okay last run, car just turned at right angles during the burnout and I knew the tyres were not heated hardly.

Didn`t seem to loose much off the line, but did it need some steering on the 1-2 shift.

That was my quickest run to date, 11.85.

Second quicker than with the 310 kw tune.

I gained .200 on my 60 foot. If I can fix that ( tyre pressure I`m thinking ) and not creep thru the staging beams as I know I did on the last run, I think the car could have an 11.4 in it. It was pretty hard to stop in the top end so maybe I need new brakes.

The Bogan PB`d again ( he does every trip ) but I`ll let Steve elaborate on that himself.

I`m not too disheartened, 120 m ph was a goal and I did that tonight. Sub 11.50 is next and then its retirement.

Well done John!

practice will make perfect.

and the Bogans 11.22! Crazy!

Cheers Paul

Hey I went out there had two runs. My first time ever and I wanted to get a thirteen mine is pretty dam stock though. I didnt get it but I got 14.1 for a stocker I was almost happy but had to go to work so I didnt get a third run. Next time we go out I should keep a closer eye out for use.

another disapointment for me :( finally got my boostr guage working.. 12psi? that aint right. so car goes bak to hi-torque still a 12.5 with only 12 psi. hmm

I studied my previous best versus the best I did last night. I`m thinking that the added power has cuased some traction issues.

I`ll try lower pressures and some different techniques.

Certainly a good showing of Elite cars on the night, SO PHAT versus the white GT was easily the highlight.

The Bogan going quicker each time out is almost a given thing now.

[Paul@eliteauto]

Yeah the Elite tuned N/A street tyre chalange ended up being a ding dong battle between the SO PHAT VE GTS and the BA GT.

The VE won by the 8 thousanth of a second, both cars running a 12.8 @ 110!

The GT had the last laugh wit a 12.7 @110 MPH Next run but not head to head. It was heaps of fun and the rant afterward was great!

Cheers Paul

Actually, running a close second to that as highlight of the night was running that guy over in the staging lanes as we pushed the Bogan Mobile.

Herb and I were head down bum up pushing on the boot then: boomfff -- rumple.. awwww! lolz0r..

[Paul@eliteauto]

that was JT

Well Paul, we were half the field. I`m not suprised it was one team.
