We filled up at a BP and got served by Borat. After 4 attempts at him trying to go and get the food and drink we wanted and getting it wrong each time we gave up and just left it at the petrol purchase.

Yep we got stung with that too.....Originally Posted by Smokey228
Yep, that was me, I had an absolute blast. Apart from my first run which was a shocker due to excessive axle tramp, I lower the tyre pressure and started hookingup in 2nd gear, but 1st gear was killing me. Next time I might lower the tyre pressure a little more.
Didn't crack the 12s though, my best for the night was a 12.4. I just wanted to crack 200kmph for the night whcih I did, so I'm really happy.
The car felt great on the drive home as well, it seemed much smoother, must have shaken everything into place.....

you can deff see how close it was... still 13.2 is my new PB so im stoaked with it and jase has got to be laughing bout a 12.8 on his 1st ever run!, congrats mate
ive been laughing and giggling to myself all day, was a great fun run!
Haha, it was f*cken close, i been looking at the time slip and going, shit, thats impressive!
I been talking to everyone i can about my 12.8 lol, not many ppl in I.T. care though and dont quite understand why it takes 12.8 seconds to get from one end of a straight line to another... lol
Blakey, whens our next race? I'll sort out a few odds and ends and we'll hit the circuit asap!
Cheers,
Jase
just cut that 60 foot time a bit blake and i'm backing you'll be damn close to a 12

i agree, blake i got the 60 in 2.200 with less power and more weight you need a bit more traction and it's into 12'sOriginally Posted by finney
had a good night only have a 14.9 to beat but now have a starting point and a $100 for reaction time was a bonus.
cheers greg

Fucking pissed off i couldnt go last night. Im giong to fucking blast the missus for dropping the family card on me last night!!
Sounds like a really eventful night - i want to hear what everyone ran!
Phil - well done mate. 10seconds is bloody awesome for the rolla!
Jase - 12.8 is pretty unreal for a 1st run, and a 2.1 60' is pretty decent too
Sounds like a few Toymods Records were broken last night too.
...... butt scratcher?!
I'll hopefully have some in-car footage up on Youtube shortly.
Anybody got more photos from the night? Please post them up here!

GoPro failed again?? all vids are 10-14 secs long WTF ....that would be fine if i started the camera on the line but vids started way back in the queue up. Why would it repeatedly time out?

Well i couldnt help myself and started my car this morning to find it STILL hasnt fixed it self! So i think its a good idea to pop the motor out drop it off to jason and hopefully come back with a few more ponys!
Once again well done phill that was an awesome run. Congrats to all the other guys to for the awesome amount of 12's in there and even CUZZO came home with a new PB of 12.6. (it must have been the secret race tips i was giving him!)

Here are some vids that Mitch took with my camera. Thanks so much for doing this for me Mitch, It's greatly appreciated.
Me and Sedsel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu6kh-L5CXE
Justen and the GT8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh6glaHJ_JY
My 2nd ever run at the drags http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqJw4ntKqVw
Backed up my 2nd run with another 12.4 even though I munched my 2nd to 3rd gear change but I ended up getting a higher trap speed. I could have nugded an 11 second pass if I didn't screw up that gear change.... :-( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEXG6zdqIvY
So this is how you launch.... Yep this is it, Phil's 10 second pass with wheelstand. You can't see it but you get the idea when you see Phil's cat pick up the left front side !! Congrats again mate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxtIb-l_-xk
Here's Justen's quickest run for the night, but he still couldn't crack the 200 km/ph.... :-p hehe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn5l9yomXiE
And here's the last one of a couple of Celica's doing battle. Sorry I'm not sure who they are but I'm sure someone can fill in the gaps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGitNcTe_6Y
Enjoy

Well, since you asked nicely, no good launches though...Originally Posted by 1JZ-Rolla
Dont particularly like the background (next time ill try to get a good reflection in the water too) but the blue colour looks very nice. This had me stumped at first but was the tape to stop rubber sticking to the paint?
Not only that, but it was the first time i had tried to shoot at night. Especially trying to shoot something moving (not only myself!).
Awesome pics & video guys, thanks!
