05 MAY 2011 - Race for Real Report
This week we were blessed with clear blue skies and that brought the race starved off street racers out in force. The event flowed smoothly with everyone getting plenty of runs in and of course there was cash up for grabs in the Reaction Time competition. The good news for those that did not make it this week is the Jackpot did not go off and that means next week a percet .000 light will net you well over $1000!!!
![]() Daniel Butler peeled out a .004 light on his R6 Yamaha just after 7 o'clock and that held up for first place tha $300 cash! |
![]() Matt Brogan went oh so close when he too recorded a .004 light in hos 12 second XR6 however a Daniel did it first Matt had to settle for second place this time around but the $200 was still a nice little pick up. |
![]() Allan Wheeler rounded out the top three with a .011 reaction time in his tidy 327 Chev powered Pontiac. |
![]() Datsun Utes are a popular choice of race car these days, however Youssef Jammas is a bit unique, it has a Nissan engine in it not a Rotory! |
![]() Chris Redondo is a bit a regular lately in his air bagged 300C and runs mid 12s as well! |
![]() This is not what we want to see on a Race for Real or any race for that matter, however as track crew had this cleaned and back into racing in no time flat ... after all they had plenty of practice drying the whole track at the Nitro Champs last weekend! |
![]() Witht he Street Car Nationals coming up next weekend Brad Zammit had his 350 powered LC Torana out getting a few test runs in. |
![]() Gary Hope here having a run on his RS125 Aprilia getting into the 14s .. not bad for 125cc's! |
![]() Ok here is out "WHAT THA" pic of the week ... Not sure what Timmy Two Step was looking for here! |
![]() There are a lot neat streeters out there on the Sydney streets and Brennan Hutchings 13 second 308 Torana is a fine example. |
![]() Yet another 11 second R100 Maxda this one is owned by Paul Guardala was pulling the wheels up all night long! |
![]() Ok .. now this was my pick to neatest streeter on the night ... John Apostolopoulos XYGT is a straight as they get guys ... and it runs 10s too!!! |
| Well thats it for another Race for Real report remember next week the Jackpot is still up for grabs in the Reaction Time competition and you could be taking home over 1000 bucks in cold hard cash if you can nail a perfect .000 light! |
