Good day had at the Skyline drag day at Sydney Dragway today. East coast Zed and myself represented the Zeds, think i might have finished in 3rd place according to the PA late in the day. Had eleven runs accross the day, could have had many more if i wanted, give the middle of the day a miss due to it being very hot and not conducive to good times. Car run like a swiss watch all day no probs, can't say the same for Graham though, had to put it on a flat top to get it home, think after all those runs you done the clutch cried enough Graham. Run a 11.346 et 122 mph with a 1.76 being my best 60 footer, down on my previous best of 1.51, was having a few wheel spin issues getting off the line, had the rear tyres down to 12lb trying to get traction. Vid of the run. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SDj-jSIvEU will post some pics tomorrow.
B-e-a-u-t-I-f-u-l!!! Well done, Ron! Hope to see a few more pics/vids of yourself and Graham... Arvin
Hey was that You that parked near us in the pits in the red Zed? why didn't you come say hi? Got some in car vid i will post up later and plenty of pics, worn out atm, going to watch Casey in the moto GP now. Forgot to thank Geffo for all his help today and Lloyd and lyn for their support, thanks guys.
Some pics Wiz can multitask, he can walk and look at the camera, at the same time! Wiz and Graham Noice burnout The crowd went nuts over this burnout! Oh the humanity of it? Sad for Graham, hope it was a simple problem. Videos will be posted later. It was a great day and awesome to see the young fella peddle so fast 11.3ET Cheers Geoffo
Was up watching the guys run till about 12 or so then left. My mate that was with me didn't want to stay any longer.
Who's a Good Boy, eh, eh??? Great effort Ron!!!!!(why do you do your best work whenever I go home)?:rofl::rofl::rofl::zlove: Commiserations Graham, it'll all get better from here on in(perseverance is what it's all about)along with a lot of luck(of the GOOD variety).:zlove:
I think it's safe to say that come next winter a 10.999 is VERY achievable. Truly awesome - gotta be happy with that Ron, well done mate.
Weren't Blue Ovals allowed on track, Geoffo...?? What a good mate you are - not wanting to show up Ron's best-ever!! Well done, Wiz! Last time I saw The Machine was at a tech day having all the trim and seats re-fitted... And a big welcome to Graham - achieving membership of MY 'On Back of Truck' Club! The joy of membership, Graham, is that (hopefully) you only get club attendance ONCE.... membership fees are just getting TOO bloody high! Commiserations, mate!
Video Day off today so put together a vid of the day, enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rik3ye-8aS4&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
Think I've worn out the video, Wiz... seems to get faster every time I replay it!! Just what was that little blue duck beside you...???
Run into Ex member Psycodelik (Ben) at the drift school, no longer has the Zed, 180 is his toy now, Was talking to Dan mackie there also of the drift Z fame.
Good work Ron, 10's are around the corner :br: Wish I had mine finished for yesterday, in saying that its only turbos and upper plenum left to do then just have to put the car back together again.
Probably 4 eva hehe, Well done Ron :bow2: Your 11.3 run combined with your best 60ft would have delivered 11.096 , A warm track on a cool night away from 10's ?
