Thought it fitting to send some smoke up for him, as did many others after his wake.
RIP mate

hit the strip again on saturday night, run an annoying at still good 13.88 @ 98.25mph. Best of all, i'm getting my 60 foot times down, managed a 1.9 which i'm pretty happy with. No doubt more in it, going to try a few things and see how i go next time :) beat a turbo datto ute, a supercharged statesman and held my own with a 351 XD who only got me by about 4 or 5 lengths ha ha

No nitrous yet, waiting on a few other things first, then the (final) decision to put it on or not will be made :oops:

In the mean time, here's one of the Generals' finest being put away:

Hell yeah! :twisted:

Hopefully they come through...biggest improvement for me over last year will be traction.
Had zero last year, will run the 295 wide drag radials and play with pressures to get a half decent launch

Well, meeting is done and dusted (literally) :lol:
Best ET was 9.101 @ 79 mph
Best trap was 80 mph
Yes, thats on the 1/8th mile lol

Traction was a lot better this year, but still not perfect. Even dropped pressures right down and still got wheelspin off the line....

I got some video footage, I'll try get it on here later.

Registered for another event later in the year, so I'll be looking forward to that,
