A big congradulations to all the fellas @ APS Frankston for the hard work in yesterdays sweltering heat to come away with a second placing in the 9.99 and under bracket.

Early in the day the heat had affected the performance of the shop car and Rob the driver was having to be very gentle with the car resulting in consistant but slower times than its average. Staying determined Mick @ Aps fston kept tweaking the tune to suit the intake temps which were sapping precious ponys. With the tune sorted Rob could give the car full beans but by this stage the HOOSIERS were cactus and the times were suffering at the 60 foot! So getting heat into the tyres was quickly canned in an effort to just smoke them to hell to win an HSV Jacket offered to the baddest burnout before run. Staying focused on the pass Rob evertually peddled the car into the finals for a second placing as result.

Thanks again to Street Commodores for the day, Russell and Joanne @ Heathcote Park and last but not least the crazy pit crew that kept tyres pressures regulated, fuel topped up and ice up to the blown monster all day. GOOD WORK!

Cheers Naith

Yep very fast car fella's - well done.:headbang:

One other thing I'll say about you APS boys is there always seems to be about 20 of you & all having a party:party: while you're racing - great attitude - & something that is missing from a lot of shops around.

That is poster worthy that photo!

Congrats on the result and good to meet the crew, all a great bunch of blokes. Nathan in his LH was stoked with his runner up and without some
extra juice might not have made it! :goodjob:
