Now that I have a few minutes illl recap the Street Car Shootout.
This was a grest event, bringing out some of the country’s fastest street legal cars from the length and breadth if the country.
There was very stiff contention in each of the classes, with some really close racing.
I big thankyou to Dan Southall, Ross Wheelan, John Lindesay and everyone else that put in the hard yards to make this event happen
Let’s hope this becomes a regular event and that more people bring out their toys and have a crack…..
Well, the car ran really well apart from an electrical gremlin.
The power to the water pump controller kept dropping off which then made the controller turn off……. Which means the water pump stops…… no good !!!!
Luckily I had a back up plan, a permanent 12V plug next to the pump in the engine bay.
Unfortunately it crapped out while I was lined up, so I was trying to explain to my helpers where to find it and how to plug it in, through my helmet while there were cars roaring away in the background.
We got there eventually, but the turmoil put me off my game and I wasn’t focussed when the tree started.
Needless to say it wasn’t my best work….. and another red light is added to my collection…. 😂😂😂
Other than that, the car ran like a Swiss watch.
Even though we still have a heap of timing pulled out I managed some good 60’ times and MPH was good for the ET’s.
So all in all i good day, even if the result for the day was not as planned…….
But that’s racing.
