Last night a few of us went out to calder to put our zeds on the strip. There was Chris(rom-vg30dett), Mikey(RedZedMikey), Jack(zxtt-1), Paul(METHOD), Adrian(AIDO) and myself. I managed to get 5 runs for the night which i thought was pretty good because their were alot of cars there. 1st run was a warm-up run against a Holden VXSS I ran 13.975....he ran 14.293 (WIN) 2nd run was against a Chev Badged Holden ute I ran 13.851....he ran 13.424 (LOSS) 3rd run was against my favourite racing opponent Chris a.k.a The Fella with the Yella Zed. Everytime we race each other its very very close I ran 13.637....he ran 13.981 BUT when you take into account of when the lights go green i just won by 0.010secs. (WIN) 4th run was suppposed to be against a VNSS but he couldnt line up properly or whatever so i ran by myself and i got my worst time for the night aswell with a 14.015. (WIN) 5th and final run was again a skyline, this guy really wanted to run me so i thought why not as you do. I ran a 13.491....to his 14.379, thats my best every run and from the time i took off i knew it was going to be a good time. So i was pretty happy, now i have a new benchmark to beat!:thumbsup: (WIN) I hope all the other guys post there times up and ill send the copy of the timeslip to Risk. Mikey organise Heathcote as by then ill have a few more mods....my goal is to get into the 12's. What a great nite to enjoy my birthday! Max:thumbsup:
Happy Birthday 1st off all and nicely done always good to hear of V8's ans Skylines being put in their place by a Z. MattB
Yee Haa Max!, Well done and Happy Birthday :thumbsup: You got your spot back, only just tho! This is gonna be a sweet competition between you and Matt, your Zeds seem very close to each other and it sounds like you both have 'plans'up your sleeves!
Hey I didn't know it was your b/d --->>. would have baked a cake etc etc - yeah right !!!! :wacko: :wacko: Anyway happy returns and all that. My night was so so until I let the gearbox do its own thing and the times went from 14.1 to 14.7 with me doing the shifting to 13.66 with the auto doing the thinking. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: So i gues that's the way to do it from now on. Come on Heathcote. Great night for it as well. see ya Jack

A good night ... new pb for me, couple of pics. Had a good night, and scored a new PB of 13.62 which lifts me up the rankings a few spots from my prebious 13.99. I had Max's measure by 1/100th of a second, until our last runs - I bogged off the line a bit against Jack, who drove around me with a 13.66 to 13.87. I didn't know it (no speaker announcements, no readout boards), but Max, in the run before us had just run his 13.49 - I guess that was his birthday present, bugger it. Lent my camera to Max's mate George - the results are a bit shaky from a hand held basic digital, but here they are. Waiting to see if Fullboost were there or not .... http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SwCbAh0X93enNQMeMr0IlsYgeMIIaSYrc*peOhySGQUINeRz0XFh7ZIDV4GJMwRDAXeO3SKODGN6Upnn!!plUAKUz*GET8xMdVTDpQJ0UBlhQVpKI*NQ3g/DragGroup.JPG? dc=4675511904314931396 Grouped together between runs before moving out for the last run of the night. Max beats the Skyline Method (silver) vs Chris; not sure who won. Oh yeah, 1 other little thing - the Z didn't have another race left in her - 1st gear broke on the way home. I think I have a lot of synchro teeth in the bottom of the gearbox. Dammit.
