Bloody impressive for his first time ever on the track.
Geof's 1m.01.227 secs is flying...but I've no doubt with that extra 70 h.p. back under him, and a bit more tweaking ( It's a fairly new car)...
59secs are on the cards for next year...
There ya go Geof...No pressure !!
We had 101 entries in 2008, wouldn't that be great to see again next year and beyond?....
And looking at a lot of those who were doing 1m.09secs - 1m.11secs in 2008 ,
(which was considered BLOODY quick for this type of car)
The same guys are now getting around in approx 1m.05 secs times.
Better tyres help....but skill levels are always improving as well.
Already looking forward to Nationals 2015 !
Cheers,

I was there in 08 as a spectator and spent some time in garys garage checking out the car and to see walthers weapon run along with most of you guys, it certainly had a killer engine and all the goodies for that time, wasnt it just a NA 363 Ford, i remember him saying at the dinner that the car could easily break the 1 minute time, but it was his driving skills that were not up to par, imagine with steady improvement over the years what that car might achieve. i think that car is still the benchmark.
