Consider, he was doing well north of 100 mph, he corrected it and reapplied the right wellington which caused it too fairly bagged up.Then you`re safe right? Well, then you need to pull up 1800 kg doing 137 mph with wheel barrow tres and XF taxi brakes on the front.Watching this car you can see aspects that could be refined with practical use.Unfortunately that's a luxury that's not available.Every time it has pulls up to the line could be its last throw of the dice from an official stand point.Pretty high stakes, eh?

I know I've had whiteline fever and grabbed 5th after I passed the 1320' marker Daniel Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/67182-australias-fastest-manual-babf/page/4/#findComment-995598 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to all involved. Although the 10 sec goal was not achieved this time out, this effort is still something to be proud off.Well done and good luck for your future attempts.
