the loop is only under a certain time, you should be fine , ( no offense ! ;) )
but I believe it is per std rules, long sleeves, long pants, catch can, battery clamped, etc.
basically if it passed easternats it will pass bairnsdale.
Bairnsdale is an ANDRA track, so will be more strict than Heathcote.

was a great day, didn't rain at all.
we got to do what we wanted to do.
ended up turning the boost all the way down and doing 1/3 throttle passes but was well worth it.
car started sliding around in the top end, last pass was a bit scary ! I had trouble pulling up !!the guy I raced couldn't believe the top end charge !
Thanks to everyone who came and said Hi :), sorry if i seemed a bit pre occupied !

The muzzy was INSANE!

Spotted a neat black ED, its first run was against an LS1 ute, I was surprised to see it didn't fall too far behind the ute, and then as it crossed the line it fluttered... <3

Owner unfortunately isn't too interested in online forums, so I doubt we'll see him on here :(

times, we didn't get many time cards, when i lowered the boost and got to actually do 1/2 a pas we go to time cards :(
didn't worry me as we were not there for that.
last pass was pulling around 120 mph at the end, which isn't too bad for 1/8 mile ( not 1/4 mile) struggled to pull it up.
would love to see any pic or videos.

Commando,
the last 2 passes did it look all over the track ?? the start felt fine, just half way down was a bit hairy !
curious to hear how it looke from the outside of the car.

I only saw one more pass after the track was cleared again. In that one it looked like you got the start right, and near the finish you stepped on it a bit (in 3rd?), it broke traction, and you eased off crossing the line. It was WAY more controlled than your earlier runs where you were alllll over the shop (to the entertainment of the crowd :clapping: )

So I probably missed your final run sorry.
