Correct, still being setup atm. Will be going direct from workshop to Pod assuming everythings ok for it to do some shakedown runs.

Lol, had done one \'full\' pass, low 11s by the time Max and I left. Half a bar boost on a bone stock 20B block, rolling off the line instead of using the transbrake (which is when the fun really starts ). Geff was taking it easy (was completely ****ting him self having not driven a car at the strip for a couple of years - and then getting into a 3/4 chassis!) and very pleasingly the first run it went very straight, so thumbs up to Hausers. Thanks to Danny for finishing off the decals about 10 minutes before its first run too

It still needs a lot of tuning still to get the most out of the motor before going to some thing with slightly larger ports VERY happy with its first outing, and very happy for Geff to get his first run out the way, having driven it round the yard once in total prior to today! *Lots* more to come!

In other news, Willday wiped out 2nd in his RX8 box on his first run From the mess coming out of Gary Gooding\'s car on his first run and the fact he never returned to his pit area I\'d imagine he had terminal engine problems of some kind. Impey ran 9.6 first run but I believe had broken some thing on the rear end just as we were leaving Ross had just broken the diff in Steve\'s car too Altho Colum was underneath it fixing it :yes

Racing was still going on when we left at around 5pm. Fingers crossed ppl get stuff fixed and manage some good times today/tomorro.

That doesnt sound good at all. Hope the guys can get something sorted by tomorrow. Good luck

Yikes lots of broken things this weekend, and only the first day.
That must be cool to run 11\'s on only half a bar of boost.

Yah, it was just pleasing that it went so straight, the 60 ft was 2.5 i tihnk

Geff has had a couple of goes with the transbrake and has managed a flat 10 at 130-something, so all going well! Slowly upping the boost after reviewing logs after each run. No full banzai runs yet, letting off a bit here and there etc. Theres also a major head wind apparently, but its sunny so fingers crossed.

Pretty awesome job from both car & Geff so far tbh!

All the others are bust; willday gearbox, impey gearbox, gooding turbo, steve diff - altho it sounds as tho they are still trying to fix steve\'s.
