Nielsen - Meeting Report After getting settled in with our camp site. We were ready for a day of testing before the Winternationals. Our first pass was at 11:05am; the dragster left the start line with a big stumble and didn't recover and we ran 8.87 @ 152.81. Back in the pits, I decided that we would run my other carby for the next pass. 3:10pm would be our second pass. That was a long wait in the staging lanes... The dragster felt a little lazy in the first half of the track and we only ran 8.68 @ 152.55. With only a limited time left for the days racing we fueled up and headed back to the staging lanes for one more pass. |

| We hadn't had time to adjust anything
and our last pass was at 5:56pm, but the air had gotten a lot
better and this could effect the performance of the dragster.
The dragster pretty much ran the same as the previous pass
running 8.68 @ 153.65. Not a real good day of testing, as we had
some real carby issues. And to top the day off, when I got out of the dragster my foot clipped the windscreen and split it into two pieces. (lucky a video camera was not down there as my faceplant would of made for some good footage) lucky Jimmy didn't have the onboard camera running. With 3 days up our sleeve until the Winternationals a new screen had to be made and sorting out the carby were our main concerns. |

Denaro - Meeting Report Since debuting the car I haven't tried the car with the mufflers. I took this opportunity to do some testing. I gave it two passes with different jetting but the car did not like it. It seemed to slow down the ET and the car felt like it lost a little torque. It was a hard day for testing as our opportunities were limited. I had a pass at around lunchtime and the car ran 10.10 @ 135 and I put that all down to the mufflers. Our final pass was at 5:30pm and the track was getting a little cold and the air was getting better. I ran 10.01 @ 135. That was it for the days racing. |

| With a few days until the Winternationals I had to get my carby repaired as I had stripped the bowl screws over a period of time and it was time that they got repaired. I found a bloke named ZOK Race Carbs near Brisbane who was able to heli coil the body and do the job right. I also took the opportunity to remove the mufflers for the Winternationals and run the car the way it has been for the past 6 months. |
