BA XR8 ute with cam, 4.11's and usual bolt on's. Running on M/T radials. Nice time you got there Vern.

Now I Know some of you will say that Chriss and the boys down in Vic are getting 12.8's with just bolt on's. However the Willowbank track is slower the those down south and I would happly say that this car on a southern 1/4 would do a mid to low 12 easy

Yeh, great effort mate! A 1.7 60' foot time can't be ignored, there's plenty of potential there, bring it south!
