Hey Wreckedhead? was that you at EC last night? white 32? plates J**T?

if so!! congrats on the run!!! looked friggin awesome!! one of the guys captured your run as well! hehe... i could see you were extremely happy when you drove back to the lineup and met up with your mate!!!

congrats again!

we were all jumping for joy, doesnt bother me who was driving, the car ran a good pass, and untill i get it caged i cant go back, hopefully in a couple of weeks ill sort it out and head back for some more runs

The quicker your car runs, the more "safety" objects the car needs. Hence the cage for sub 11's, parachute for 140+mph etc.

LOL!!!! no kiddin! : i know the purpose of a rollcage.. and a parachute for that matter! he was implying he wouldn't take his car down the straight till it had a rollcage, but i just was wondering why it was then ok for his mechanic to drive and not him!

Heh sorry for the confused reply, I guess if you don't own the car you're not going to treat it with mechanical sympathy.

The majority of drag strips in Aus operate under ANDRA, and their rules stipulate the safety devices for cars running certain times. If they know your car does xyz time and it doesn't have the gear on it, they won't let you run.

hey Moanie i didnt have a choice, after my mechanic run the 10 sec pass, my car was banned from the track till i get a roll cage, i wanted to race it but couldnt.

and Doughboy you completely right, when i sit in my car and im on the line waiting to launch, all im thinking about is "what happends if the clutch blows or the diff pops or gearbox breaks, then im ****ed so i treat it with a little sympathy" but my machanic has no such feelings and slams everygear like mother****er not loosing any boost in gears.

but ill get my chance in a couple of weeks to run my 10 if im a good enough driver, its just a shame i didnt get to run the car with the gas.
