[MYV8]

Headed out to WSID last night with Lowride260 and Hot460 for a bit of fun. Was pleased to meet XR8Ute for the first time. PhantomXR8 was also there but not racing this week.
The temp ranged from about 25 early on to about 20 at the end of the night.

Wade spent all night cranking out his 12.9's with his big launches. Man those slicks sound good when they bite into the tarmac.

Rich was pleased with his first pass in the BF XR8 auto, bog stock, and then spent the rest of the night a bit pi$$ed that he didn't get a 13. I think 14.001 and 100 mph was his best from his new work ute. Well done Rich. Take your tools out of the car next time mate!

XR8Ute got a couple of new PB's but not sure of the details.

I was pleased with my runs, two low 13.2's and four 13.1's with a new PB of 13.109. The mph readings in the right hand lane were reading about 2-3 mph down compared to the right lane so I am not too worried about the indicated 104.99 mph.
My ute was pretty consistent and felt strong. Got sideways once on the 1-2 change and just spun it up on the change to 2nd on another run with the M/T ET streets. It hasn't done it that bad before. I still got a lot of work to do on my 60'.

There was a BA Fairmont there with a boss 260 in it. I have seen him there before doing high 13's but last night he was on the bottle. 125 HP shot was running mid 12's at around 115 mph (I think) with 2.2 60'.
He was hitting the button after the launch, (until he gets decent tyres for his next outing.) He was over the moon with his results.

If I have any details wrong I am sure I will be corrected by those concerned LoL.
