| Eastern Creek Drags - October 17th.
Back at the drags again. I am really starting to enjoy this. My sister decided to tag along with me today, to find out what the attraction is. The night didnt end up being the best. I still had some dodgy fuel in from when I went out to bathurst, and the car was pinging its nuts off on the first 2 runs. There where HEAPS of delays. So many cars having accidents on the track, and spilling fluids all over the place. Unfortunatly I knew a couple of the night's casualties. Michael (EB ON NOS) was the first to go. There was lots of smoke, oil and coolant everywhere, and a tow truck to take him home. Mick (TE Corty) snapped 2 engine mounts on his 2nd run. When he lauched, the front of the car lifted up, and when it came down... SNAP! |
Waiting to go.... |
That purple mazda in front of me was one of the nights casualties. |
After my 2nd run, I put 10L of 100 octane petrol in. Stopped the pinging,
but the car still wasnt running right.
While I was filling the car up, I started chatting to Paul from Performance Fords Magazine. Seems like a nice enough bloke. He had taken a photo of my car when I was up against a Blown EF 6... So I might end up in the next issue. Anyways.. I have to get some work done to my car before next time. Need the fuel tank cleaned out, and also new fuel filter. Might also get the boys at Croydon Autosports to retune to the chip, and see if they can get her running a bit better. |
