Yesterday, we headed to Sydney with Barry Hall VH SLE for some pre STREET MACHINE Drag Challenge testing after Adelaide's test session was unfortunately cancelled due to the weather.
The twin-turbo Holden-based engine continued to show plenty of potential, running a 1.163 60-foot, a 4.631 @ 158 mph to half-track, and a 7.16 @ 197 mph while getting into the wheelie control.
With a few adjustments made to help settle the front end, we lined up for one final pass hoping to improve again. Unfortunately, an oil down on the track ended the session before we got the chance.
Barry did another fantastic job behind the wheel and is getting more comfortable and confident with the car every time he drives it.
A huge thanks to Dougie Pierazzi for coming along and helping out with the car. It's always a pleasure working with you.
Now it's back to the workshop for a few more changes before we head out for another test session in preparation for Drag Challenge. We're looking forward to seeing what the next outing brings.
