I think I can shave a second and a half off if I string it all together with grip the whole time, maybe 2 if it's a really clean lines lap. I'm hoping for some cool footage and action pics from the media. You can see a drone hanging around a chicane in one section, Brad Frost my mate from here and prior Racewars events was part of the media team, had a GoPro and reckoned he got some good footage of me absolutely hooking too, so fingers crossed! Bonus bits Rain setting in after my last lap - not everyone got to do 4 runs! The venerable BARRA. It's stock, officer. Start line antics Racewars Sprint video from FB Simon's incredible machine and skillset on show (he came second by less than a tenth and only get 3 runs not 4 due to rain) Metal fingers while navigating a chicane one handed at 82km/h - pro skillz 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers dude. It's fun posting race info...I did enter Powercruise as well and drove two sessions with 2L of coolant missing. Oops. I have replaced radiator with a new (170,000km) stock unit and still need to replace water pump. Air con died and was causing 30A engine fuse to blow if I switched on the AC. New compressor about $650 fitted with regas a couple months ago! 12 hours ago, Rab said: Bloody fantastic writeup and weekend. Quickest Falcon on the hillclimb? Cheers Rab. Yep but was only against a 600hp EL with turbocharged SOHC engine, think it was manual too judging from the start line skid hahaha...and that blue XB Just noticed I beat all the Holdens too. There was a Expensive Daewoo vs Ford class last year which I won - was the only Falcon or Expensive Daewoo out there lol. Never got my prize voucher actually. ACM electrical you cheap buggers!
