Hey All,
It was Blueblooded's BA XR8 Ute from the XR Club of QLD. Some figures for you. NA, CIA, TB, Exhaust, Cams, Edit. 350RWHP. 60ft 1.784, 1/8th 8.322@8.364, 1/4 12.92@108.36.

This is being claimed as the fastest NA 260 pass ever? Not sure. It was fairly cool, as you would expect at this time of year, and that 60footer is excellent, no doubt setting up this great time.
Congratulations to Vern :

Hope this helps. I don't have axcess to any more info/ slip for you all.
Cheers,
Mike

i talked to him after his runs it still has traction issues so the is more in the ba ute for sure, he said at the time it was the fastest pass by a n/a xr8 260 in aust so good luck to him and beware others as its got more to come
