Well done brett... Good first night out at the track.
Shame it was a little busy thou
Hey people i FINALLY got the TT ute out there and tried to see how i went as i have "never" been out on the strip and "never" flogged the ass out of my ute...
I ran it FULL TRIM as i put it in Car Shows etc, with 20s, PULP, Full Stereo, Both seats, 8psi, 5400rpm limiter, 175,000k's, Cylinder 5 basically rooted etc etc etc..
Nerves were getting to me about 4 cars from the staging lights..
Here we go anyway!
You can congratulate (not that its anything to), pay out on me (errr what shit times etc) or whateva you like, i had an absolute blast and cant wait to get back out there then the new motor is done..
First up (few slight revs and we're off):
Reaction 0.630
60ft 2.517
ET 13.739 @ 111.91
Second (2500rpm stall up wheel spin city):
Reaction 0.751
60ft 3.317
ET 16.158 @ 110.95
Third few (revs again):
Reaction 0.899
60ft 2.758
ET 14.035 @ 112
Fourth (Best of the nite ):
Reaction 0.940
60ft 2.228
ET 13.154 @ 112.70
This was the best experience i've had and cant wait to get back out there and keep on practising to get the times down.. Eventually i will
Well done brett... Good first night out at the track.

Well doubt about it.... You cant Drivegood on ya for having a punt even on street tyres Champ.... Wish i was out there So i could Flogg you with my unopened LS1 lol...
20inch wheels will never help Wait till the new motor is built and you have the power your car deserves and chuck some MT radials on the back and let her rip
It was almost exactly an hour between runs out there..
I think i have A LOT of practise to go till it runs decent numbers but hey, im not selling the ute in a hurry
Thats what i cant wait for, decent setup so i can learn properly!!
All good Davo, gave it a shot and hopefully next time out ill be knocking a shitload off it with the new motor and some slicks etc

Lol Brett, told you you'd get hooked. Was a pretty good night, I had fun trying to figure out how to launch my ute, even though it was getting far from its PB time of 13.5. Def in need of a touch up tune.
Can't wait for next time out, Esp when 11SLI will be out with the new motor.
Pagey - As i put it in the Cruise for Charity on Sunday i ran it tonight.. Drove straight out there, sweating like a pornstar after a marathon effort on the powder gear...Then whammo haha
Yeh mate, she goes in for a rebuild and winding the boost up and putting a tad larger cam in..Ohh and thanks for the offer with the rims bud, i will have to give you a ring and let you know when they are needed
Good to hear that you enjoyed your first time at the strip. Just Let the boys know at Hi-Torque if you want some ET's and we'll get them in for you.
good effort mate, i told u the 20s were no good. im kicking myself i didnt take bec out the u could have both had some fun . Dont worry about dave, im sure his berlina is covered in dust still
let us know if u go out that way again, im sure we can get a 12 out of the ol 7 cylinder yet.
We should arrange to run on a sat, that way bec and u can have a run, then bec can race kent , the I can drink the carton they bet each other
1OESS
if the doc gives the ok, ill see u at the 7/11 without ya

Good on you mate - keep it up. I fully support the case of running in Full street trim also.
I gave up after my second run.............. 128 and a bit mph after a first to 5th gearchange and then back to third to run it through in 4th - don't get too much power with a manual, you just can't use it.
Mick - Yeh the 20s are coming off and ill throw some ET streets on her for sure.. The ute isnt going in till early-mid next week so i might come out Saturday to see what happens again
As for Hellbent, i think he broke something as the launch he did on his final run was insane then bang
Thanks Shane was good to see you out there, shattered i missed the runs you had... Im keen to hit up WB at least once a fortnight to see how the ute goes for sure...
Thanks for everybodys help and im sure ill be down to good numbers in no-time
