Ipswich had a couple of showers last night but was all dry by time I finished work this morning. A few clouds hanging round but if it does rain it doesn't look like it will be much. The paper said sunny with a couple of showers.

any mention of the late Tstorm alexa?

No there wasn't but keep an eye out in-case. I can call work and find out if its looking really bad if need be.

Nothing on the weather radar at this stage,just a few light showers west of the Gold Coast hinterland

glenn did well, but i wont steal his thunder and tell u what he got

not sure about andrew, needs a bit more work to get it singing i think.
i was dissapointed with my time what with the merlin tune and S/S and LC.
but thats probably my driving @ 13.52.

still, i beat speedies PB (in my car) of 13.54, lol.

ripflare and cam had a few runs too but i`ll let them tell u their results as well.

great night and great turn out from the club!!!

12.1 first run the cracked the 11's!!! then a few 12.0XX runs
funky stuff happening in 5th gear so if I can sort that out next time should be all 11's.

Had a fun but frustrating night. 16.04 was my time to beat and with the tune and RA exhaust my best tonight was 16.05. I'm guessing the weather didn't help but was looking for more improvement with the tune. Guess its all part of the fun of going over everything and getting it just right.

Hope everyone had fun! Wish I could've been there! Looks like a few people got PBs which is great! Sounds like a few peoples want to go faster and that's the trap with drag racing, you will always want to go faster

Was a great night there at willowbank, compared to Eastern Creek dragway, willowbank is more up close and personal and your sitting a lot more closer to the start line which is a good thing, was worth the drive there

I'm curious though is the Merlin tune suppose to give more horsepower to the car? The 1/4 times were not reflecting that with those who had the Merlin tune.

The thing about my RA and Sleepers is that they were already tuned. Merlins tune did a lot for low rpm and responses

Actually it looks like ripflare cut .4 off her previous time

I meant 16.4 and 16.5. That's what happens when I haven't had any sleep in over 27hours. lol
