1.78 as Craig said. All the rest where 1.8's.
There was a fair bit of wheel spin in both 1ST and 2ND not to mention lots of rev limiter in ST. :
Last month at heathcote they where 1.6's.

I actually did stall the car trying to do a burn out. :

Craig and Dad (Whoosha) where both asking what am I doing, I said I cant do a burn out it keeps gripping.
Dad watched my 3RD run and told me the start dude is bringing me out the other side of the water.
Ohh and the water was very little as it was, maybe a Cm wide stripe.

The last 2 runs I watched Dad for the water, hence the real burn outs and a 1.78 60.
I know why they were being so tight with the water, there filling up 600ml bottles putting Bobs name on it and charging $3.50.

It sounds like you blokes were lucky not to break anything trying to do burnouts.
Whats the story not enough water or the surface just too sticky ?

I watched almost every car on the start line, they would spray a little water on the line, then call the car foward about 2 to 3 foot past the water, cars were trying to do burnouts on the rubber left from the last car as there tyres were just no wet enough.
We all know what happens when you try and do a burn out on top of rubber, some guys backed through the water twice only to be told off and move forward, also from the burnout to start line is closer now and should you go past the start line they Calder staff starting waving there arms.

i personally reckon that the track was shite after watching most cars breaking traction, wasn't re-surfacing the track meant to make things better?

I honestly believe my Ute will do 10's with my fat ar$e driving it. :eclipsee_
Like everyone i just need the conditions and minimal wheel spin.

I told you Kev put an auto in it. You would already be running 10s
