Some pretty quick times there. Looks like it would have been a good night.

There was a grey VL turbo there which sounded like it had heaps of power. Stalled up on the line, gets the green, slamms down on its rear end and takes off real hard and got about 20 meters and BANG!! Peices of tailshaft everywhere.

I believe that VX255 ran a 11.2 for a new pb as well.

Goto http://motorplex.com.au and see for yourself. Just because the drag season has finished doesn't mean the track is closed.

They will be running Wednesday Nights till the end of May.

Might even see you down there next Wednesday night.
