12 FEB 2012 - Thundering Test n Tune Action!
|
This Test n Tune had a bit of everything and we mean everything ... from Junior Dragsters to Top Fuel Dragsters and Thunder Storms to beautiful clear blue sunny skies which produced awesome conditions for Drag Racing. A special thanks has to go to the Sydney Dragway Track Crew who managed to transform a flooded race track into a perfect racing surface in just 45 minutes after the Thunder Storm passed through. Also a big thank you to the many racers and crews that pitched in to dry the Breaking Area old school style, it truly was an awesome team effort! |
![]() The PremiAir Hire Team debuted their brand new Top Fuel Dragster piloted by Luke Shepherd making some spectacular passes and gaining some valuable data for the new combination. |
![]() This event also saw the debut of the latest creation from the Trick and Mansweto Team being this immaculate Mustang which went 6.96 @ 198 mph (319 km/h) !!! |
![]() Steve Bezzina towed up from Victoria for some testing earlier in the week and decided to stay for the Test n Tune when the weather intervened again ... however transmission problems prevented the Team from getting the results they were looking for. |
![]() Jeremy Callaghan got his LSX powered Torana into the sixes with a 6.950 @ 216.76 mph however a stuck throttle later in the night saw the car get very out of shape and glanced the wall. Jeremy was uninjured and the car only suffered superficial damage. |
![]() The Cowin Family Racing Top Fuel Dragster was out testing with some very impressive short times however the Team was plagued by tire shake futher down the track. |
![]() Margaret Hartill-Law made the most of her day at the Track getting plenty of runs in her trick looking 27T Roadster. Marg is getting as much practice as she can before she heads over the mix it with the best from West at the Westernationals in March. |
![]() Another tough Turboed beast to come out of the CV Performance workshop is Steve Petrovski's LS1 powered Ute runing a best of 7.432 @ 190.46 mph |
![]() Chris Porter was making plenty of power on the Nitro Harley and should produce the numbers when the team get a handle on the set up of the brand new chassis. |
![]() Chris Stipanovich's new Nitro Funny Car is very impressive whenever it fronts up at the track however a few teething problems prevented a representative time slip this time out. |
![]() Mike Watkins made a welcome return to racing in his Supercharged Outlaw Altered and was happy to be back racing and with his 7.200 @ 181.62 ! |
![]() Brett White and his team are getting a handle on his new Top Alcohol Dragster going well in the five second zone besting with a 5.879 @ 243.59 mph. |
![]() Mark Bool and Greg Smith paid tribute to their friend Sean Brown by honouring his wish to be scattered at the Drag Strip by packing his ashes in their parachutes and releasing them. |
