It was a fun night, and a learning experiance, racing is harder than i thought,
i met Alex (FPVGT) and had a run against his beautiful XBGT, i had traction issues and didnt go as well as i may have, Alex showed me the ropes (and the back of his car ) my best time was 13.201 @ 109.60mph, i believe Alex rolled off a couple of 12.5's, im trying to upload some video, if i get it going i will post a link to the clevo tech video thread. Nick. Ok, the video is here: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...3939#post23939 Last edited by Falcon Coupe; 15-01-2005 at 03:06 AM. Reason: video thread link |

Good stuff Nick, great to see you went out to enjoy your beast
True, drag racing is nothing like just driving in a straight line...harder than it seems! Going by your mph with a few more sessions you'll be closer to Alex's XB |
