this was 2 weeks after i had done the conversion.. the drag strip is at benaraby raceway up in central queensland.
Still running full trim and im pretty sure even the spare ws in the first run. low 14 pass.

few years later, early 2010 i moved down to brissy. and was introduced to lakeside. That was when i seen 12pin OH My God that car is a freak. so i had to get on track and
race.. first time i went out my bestlap was 65.6 that was rear seat out 17" nankang tires and stock brakes..

i dont have the last session but thats where it all went wrong. as i was coming down into hungry i for some reason went from 4th down to 3rd rather early, before i een started braking.. not good :(
down shifting at 8300rpm into third a massive clunk, it went into third but i couldnt get the clutch peddle off the floor.
