Thanks mate - lets hope we can keep improving.

It certainly pays to be with a workshop with the pedigree of TRP. Their experience in drag racing makes the world of difference - and even though we are learning something every time - there are a whole heap of basics that you just have to cover off if you really wanna go quick. It takes alot of time behind the scenes as you know, but the pay-off is there in the end.

Well done guys sounds like a lot hard work paid off in the end, Congrats to all involved.

Looks like the boys from Melbourne Bill & Vele will have dust off there race-suit and see if they can start to put the pressure back onto the SYDNEY boys, it's going to be a very tuff challenge to respond in full weight, might be time to bring out the hole-saw boys .

Can't wait, once a again bloke well done and congrats on being quickest BA XR6T

Rivalry with the Mexicans is always good! :stirthepot:

I'd say the hole saw is really the only way to go as over time we will start to take out more weight. Im not sure how much the whole sunroof setup weighs, but we will definitely get rid of that sometime soon. Ideally we want go quicker, and the only real way is to lose the weight.

Well done Phil & TRP, watching your 8.8 pass did tell the tale that eventuated yesterday, 8.48 is a number to be really proud of, Hats Off...

Thanks Spiro. Yeah the 8.80 launches were pretty special. Dom got the best shot blown up poster size for me and gave it to me yesterday before we started racing. :clap:

It didnt really come out of the hole the same way yesterday as we have been tinkering with the setup and some launch control options. Hopefully the video will tell the tale. We are definitely looking forward to Jambo with a really well prepped track to see if that can help even further. It sure had plenty of people talking at the track yesterday.
