That would be me dude! And as much as I'd like to think its a Fairmont, its just a Falcon with a nose job! It was great meeting you too mate, looks like you had a ball!
I wasn't happy with my own performance on the night. All i could muster up was a 16.7 something. I guess my car is just not cut out to go fast.

Chris is doing the peddling mate, mainly just doing testing to see if the motor/clutch etc is performing properly, not realy chasing ET yet.

Yep, fair enough....it sounds like it is doing pretty well on its shake-down runs. Hope all goes well down there.

How soon do you get to bring it back up to Sydney?

Good work George! Atleast your hitting consistent times.

QUICK QUESTION....so i don't post a new topic. Is it a "priority" to have your bonnet intact while drag racing at caulder park? In other words...can i race without a bonnet on the BA at Caulder....
