That was on the given (hot) day, In sunny QLD at Willowbank,
there were traffic jams the whole way there,
even staging lanes were busy,
Cars were hot enough to cook eggs on the bonnet.

Both cars would run quicker if I was quoting the best times acievable.

Most e-a series Winsors will never go quicker than 13's

achievable with a worked 6cyl.

And no Casper, we would have been side by side over the line.
(We did not race eachother)


Temperature, Track conditions, Wind etc
Can all effect our times,
The times quoted in a book,'
are the best achieved in perfect conditions,
With no compulsorary burnout,
No one staging next to you,
All the time in the world to let the engine cool etc. etc...
Not very real world.
Timeslips dont lie.

What 347 are you Talking about Casper,
Sound like your quoting TE50 figures.

The 347 I raced was real Casper, not theoretical like your quote.

Gee, I must have dreamed up the hundred or so passes I have done at the drag strip in my I6 over the last 3 years. Or the thousands of passes I've seen run fist hand. Or even the hundreds of cars I have known from this forums and exactly what they have run.
You assume WAY too much. I am not a "them there book racer" that you are implying. I race... for real. I have an AU I6, I've owned a 5.0 E Series, I have driven eveything from 351 clevos (stock and modded), 302's, 308's, 347's etc.

There are a number of members on this forum with 347's and every other variation you like. So istead of looking like a tool, use the search button or the timeslip database and have a damn good look next time.
Here, let me help. This is just SOME of the AU's for you to compare your times to.

Your time would beat that last 2 V8's. Just. You are not even in the same ball park as most of them.
These are NOT book figures.. these are real. Wake up, you are in a big boys game now.
