1.66 60' (down 2/10 on my best of 1.46!)

Last best time was 9.66 @ 148.95 on the 1.46 60'

Now best is 9.508 @ 153.03 which just took the Aust title

Keir's record was 9.510 @ 152 on a 1.50 60'

Loved running that V8 Torana down on the last run, was all over the track & nearly crossed the centre line in 5th & hit him! If I had backed off he would have beat me, so I kept on it,fought the steering wheel & got him by a bumper bar over the line.He had at least a car length on me with 50m to go & would have been suprised that I caught him! 9.849 @ 138.63

On the 153 mph run I was in 6th gear & kept it buried well past the speed traps - & it pulled up well(who says I need a parachute)

Tell the good people what RPM you were pulling on the 9.508 run , John!!!

And about the drama's you went through to even get the thing back on the track for that run. Like I said to you on the night, things are sent to test people's endevour, you stuck at it and reaped the rewards.

I did get the final 9.849 run on video, you can see a bit of a tango from the car.

Damn fool didnt bother setting up the video for the important run though!!

/trying to kick self in the head.

Well done to MattR on your first outing... knocked 0.7 off his first run!

Andrew with the snakies in the burnout pad!!! lmao

I didnt see Whatsisname run. Bugger

I saw Kier's one run, 9.9something, but heard noises halfway down the track, they think its a valve spring problem.

Trust me mate, you didn't miss much.

Sorry about the edit in your post above! I had a slight moderator technical difficulty - I f@#ked up.

I sent a very long-winded email to [email protected] (I hope that's the right address) this afternoon about the whole debacle. After my spiel I wouldn't be surprised if they gave the whole of SAUSA a free ticket :D I complained on behalf of everybody .... but I still think everyone should send in their own opinions - what happened is just not on, in my opinion. Especially for guys like Matt (Whatshisname)! I consider myself fortunate to have had 3 runs in light of other's misforutunes!

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine
