Heard the news this arvo from another TRP customer who was at the track. You certainly deserve your time in the limelight I know its been a your goal to go #1 for a while now. The bar has now been set might be time to see if we can chase it Thanks Mark!Marcy said he was gunna ring you and gee you up a bit. How good is his form, second pass in the corolla and he goes from a 25 on his first run to peeling off a 7.8. Outstanding.Yeah - it has been a goal for ages it seems, and it really was you running that 9.40 a little while back that really got me focussed. Its just heaps cool to have a few quick XR6T's up here in Sydney.I wont be getting too carried away - running a quick time just makes everyone that bit keener to go one better - but I sure will take it for today.

A properly set up 4-link was such a good investment for racing - but there is so many bits and pieces that have been critical to getting here. The dry sump and one serious radiator have been essential in trying to keep the motor safe.Its taken us a bit to get the gearing and tyre combo right. We may be able to improve in this area to get a bit more top end.Also the launches are coming on nicely, but also some room for improvement - 1.34 on this pass. If we can get down into the 1.2's we can pick up some more time. All in all it is not bad from a taxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
