After running at Heathcote a week before the Nats to get some shakedown runs, i ran off a few 11.8's @ 118 and 119mph
With some new slicks and front runners at the Nats was running consistent 11.6's and 11.7's @ 119mph with 60ft of high 1.6's and low 1.7's which at the Nats was my first ever time on full SLICKS When the weather went COLD went out for a big one to see what would happen. And with a big launch pulled off a 1.62 60ft and ran a lazy 11.53 @ 120.4mph. not bad for not even setup yet Its one of Nathans H/C packages, but i opted not to go for the tune so its not his tune in my car. so cant wait til next time i go out fully tuned!! Thanks to Nathan Higgins Steve @ F1 Toby James Shine Auto body Works And cant forget Phonsy on the RIP Shift!!! its Faarrkkiinn awesome!! And also cant forget Tuna Justice PlanB Russell & Joanne Headbutts to Benny Grant, Ant Snr, Ant Jnr, Alex, Val and his crew, and Kerrie Here is a pic BIG LAUNCH Front burnout Nathan Higgins Last edited by MaD_KiWi; 27-04-2005 at 10:26 AM. |

Good on ya mate, well done, hopefully soon you can have some competition from the blue boy's, although I think it's a little while off yet seeing a Boss run consistent mid 11's, what are the Boss boy's doing, lol.

What springs and shocks you running in the back, jeez th car gets awfully low on the launch doesn't it. Great time mate well done.
How light are those skinnies up front, is it worth swapping the standard rims for them. |

Under 12.5 you have run crossply if you are running slicks..With slcks you must aslo have tailshaft loop..You must have crossplys all round or radial slicks on back cannot mix clossply with radials... ....Rules....

When I used to run slower I used to get a slight wobble. Now I go faster I have no wobble at all. Go figure?

A funny thing I witnessed with crossplys was @ the Hot rod show at Calder park. It was a little disturbing. "Mentle" (67 SS comaro) got the wobbles and rolled a crossply front runner off the rim. That could have been nasty considering he ran 9.5@154mph wheelspinning the whole 1/4.
