Good night boys, good to see the AU boys out in force. A little disappointed but still managed to reel off consistent 14.50's at 155 kmh. My best was a couple of 14.3's with 2.1 second 60fts.
James with his taxi pack xr6 got a best of 14.0 flat. Congratulations mate!! Definitely opened my eyes up to gearing and how important it is. (BA FALCON) |
