Hey Ratsun, we are almost ready to go again, how are you going, bettered your 8.9 yet?

Hey Robbie,

Glad to hear you getting out again. I made it to the track a few weeks ago and the track was Junk. Kept blowing the tires off on the starting line. Only went a 9.20 but with 156 mph. I have been building a new set of headers the last few weeks. They were badly needed. I may get it out this weekend if the weather holds out. Well see.

Keep me posted when you do get back out. How does your racing seasons go? Ours is about to end for the year. We start again in March-April.

It don't look like I am going to get a chance to better the 8.9 this year. Was hoping to have one more outing before the season ended but, no luck. Best of luck to you this season, It seems you got an over abundance of power, now just getting it to the ground safely seems it may be a challenge???? The car looks great By the way!!!!

Hi, Still at the paint shop but due back in a week or so then back together.

I think we ran around 5.5 @ 133mph on the 8th with the last setup, hoping to get low 8s and 170mph+ on street tyres with the new combo, keep me posted, always keen to hear how the sister car is going.

Rob

[RIPSNZ]

Awesome, good to see you out there again, what time and MPH did you get on the 1/8th?

[ratsun516]

The best so far is a 5.71 at 120mph. That video I only went an 81. The track was not quite as good as it had been. I am hoping to better that this coming weekend. I'll let ya know. How is your deal going? Are you back together?
