Great clip Phil, look forward to faster times in the near future! A 10 sec pass would certainly be pretty special! I'm pretty sure the the magic 10s would be more achievable if your ageing a$$ didn't get in the way of your reaction time!! ha ha! lost at least .5 secs there buddy and you still got a great time!
The reation time has nothing to do with the ET, the timing starts when you break the beam. The reation time is factured in when you are racing against some one else.
If it was left up to my reflexes I would not have a chance.
I would not be allowed back at the moment, it was a bit of a negotiation to get the second pass. I promised to roll off but went quicker.
However, we have worked out a way to get a removable cage built, have a meeting with NSW ANDRA Tech on Saturday, if all ok will have cage done in 2 weeks.
HI Rebel1,
I have a Tremec that I bought from the ford racing catalogue, it is rated at 600 foot pounds, "improved shift forks and one piece counter shaft" and the ratios are 2.92 1.89 1.28 1.00 .82.
The original T5 shifted much better than this one, I would like to see if I can improve the shifts.
No offence Phil, but 1.9xx 60ft is bloody shocking!!! There is heaps left in that machine, you should (fairly easily) be able to get down to 1.6xx 60's and 11.2xx ET's without much trouble at all!!!!
Awesome stuff, I am sooo jealous....
I am EXTREMELY interested in your removable cage, I'd love to get the details when it's completed....

Thanks Phil, That's the TR600 model.....same as mine. That's why my interest.
They wont be as slick a shift as the T5 but will smooth out heaps when you get some miles on them.
Your engine would tear a T5 to pieces.

As mentioned earlier In the thread I had a meeting with The ANDRA officials Kym and Tim. These are the guys that will actually sign off the cage when complete.
We have worked out a way to get it done to meet requiremants and it is also removable.
The cage is a 6 point and will also incorporate the mounts for the harness.
The only dissapointing thing is that the current tubes that hold the standard roll bar cannot be used.
The way this works is by removing the doors and replacing them with just door skins.
It is booked in on the 29th and will be completed in that week.
I will post as many pics as I can.
The Andra guys were really good, they encourage people to enjoy the sport. The only negative is that we will have to have arm restraints, SFI approved helmets and race suits.
Hi Phil
Car Hooks Up Quite Well I'm Usure You Will Hit The Tens
I;m Interested In Your Cge And How You Get On With Andra.
I Had A Six Point Cage Built By An Andra Approved Fabricator Only To Find Out They Would Not Approve It Unless It Was Welded In.
It Proved Its Strenght At The Nationals A Couple Of Years Ago
With No Damage Or Distortion To The Cage.
Good Luck Greg Hood
Nite at the Drags
..and a few more runs with reaction times improving, along with what left in the tank..
