Was a great day had by all with some good time and plenty learnt. Here is a bit of a run down on how our cars did.

First up Rob’s VE which was running in BOSS class. Mods were limited to diff gears, exhaust, intake and tune. Was ultra consistent all day with 12.6’s, which while it may not have set any records, is still impressive for such a heavy weight.

Following the tragic passing of Lyle Lemon the owner of TTLS1, his family approached Rob and requested that he drive the car at the Nats. As a tribute to Lyle, HPF installed a passenger seat and took his wife Cheree for a full power 9.6 second pass.
The car was up and down all day with several breakages slowing progress, after the faulty sensor, spark plugs and broken driveshafts were replaced times dropped. Rob managed to run the car to a best of 9.35 seconds which was enough to claim equal second place in the renegade class.

The Ford class ended up being fought out between two HPF entered cars. HPF’s XR8 ute ended up taking the cake with more consistent passes even though in the final the twin turbo GT ran a 11.71 second pass over the XR8’s 12.127.
Congratulations should also be given to our valued customers who ran their cars on the day with some excellent achievements.

Mick's with his HPF Twin Turbo HOTGEN ran a 12.6 second pass on his first even run, and continued to improve on those times as the day progressed.

Tim Holmyard continued to impress with a personal best of 8.87 @ 160mph in his HPF tuned, NOS fed VX.
