Hey! Great to hear from you Waz!

Edwin and his 19 cousins still want to know if that free trip to the Gold Coast is on offer?

Ok not trying to raise any hackles but as I was not there what were the times in relation to engines and any car features that people saw that were really interesting.

There's a more specific response but as far as quickest individual lap times I think it roughly went...

1. Bydesign race car 1.04ish CHEV
2. RCR GT40 1.04ish Ford
3. Bydesign race car 1.04ish CHEV
4. Zenom race car 1.04/1.05 Yota
5. Harrison race car 1.05/1.05 Ford
6. Drb Street 1.05 Ford
7. RF? Gt40 1.05 Ford

I 'm sure someone can give more accurate info. I'm not sure about the other events.

Gav one drags - Chev
Tom 2nd - Ford

Others will be able to shed alot moree light. Sorry if I left people out or got the times wrong...

See if I can remember the times. Summary for you Macloft.

Fastest Street Cobra on Street Tyres was Ash in his DRB: 1:05:60

Fastest Street GT40 on Street Tyres was John in his RCR/PACE: 1:03:55

Fastest Track Cobra on Race Tyres was Geoff T in his ByDesign: 1:03:45


These are seriously FAST times.

Both Ash & John have around 450HP, I think Geoff has around 550HP. Geoff has noticably more power anyway than Ash & John.

Engine HP is just one of many factors in going quick at Wakefield.
