Mr T stepped out of his comfort zone for a couple of days to judge some future engineers and their F1 race cars.

Well at least we found the problem! The fuel pump has eaten itself and even though it made pressure it didn't have the volume and as such it leaned the engine out and the rest is history! Our Eastern swing has ended.

What a shocking start to the Winternationals for Team Titan! So far after 2 qualifiers down and all we have to show for it is lots of blown burst panels! Hopefully we've got the problem sorted and can get the car to do at least one pass on the East Coast at a national meeting! I'd just like to thank the ANDRA staff for thoroughly checking BA Baracus no less than 3 times to make sure we weren't running a. Traction control b. An illegal supercharger or c. An internal Supercharger overdrive unit (a mythical part that a few WA guys manifested over a ritual Monday lunch gathering!)
I'd like everyone to imagine what the Banana rule bending Queensland ANDRA representatives would do to us if we actually ran a fast pass! Did I hear re**al probe????
In all seriousness I know they are only doing their job and they provided some top notch entertainment for my crew and I. We were really down in the dumps until they came in the tent, but within minutes of the second round of officials showing up we were in fits of laughter and have a revived outlook on tomorrow's last qualifying session. I'll keep you all posted, take care!
Gonz!!

Wow! For once my bad luck turned into good luck! The Western Sydney Dragway were kind enough to let us run an exhibition run spew decided to through everything at it and see if we could run our first 5, luckily the car shook hard and knocked it self into neutral or else I would have T b***d Daniels car! The main thing is Daniel is fine and Im not goong to get called Mr T for the wrong reasons. Sometimes you can get lucky even if it seems bad!
Better quality video soon!

We've all heard the expression "I'd rather be lucky than good" well I'd rather have no luck than my luck! On Q1 we snapped the quill shaft that drives the supercharger and then on Q2 we snapped the woodruff key that drives the magneto! Q3 was canceled, our East Coast curse continues!! Once again I'd like to thank all my crew and sponsors for their support, more so for their PATIENCE! Hope fully we will get an ex abutilon run in so we can see what BA Baracus can do! Thanks for all your support!!

Ba Baracus and the team are at Western Sydney Dragway for this Weekends X Champs. A big thank you to Nicole, Trev, Troy and Emillio for all their hard work in the days leading up to the event. We tested on Wednesday and managed a vey rushed 6.27 with a pedal. I'd like to thank Rory from Speed Torque and Dom and Rob from Tony Rigoli Performance from all their help. Best of luck to all the racers competing over the weekend, stay safe.

Well the team made it back home safe and sound and the car made it to Sydney, big thanks to Nicole, Trev, Troy, Emmilio and Paul from Keas Transmissions who organised fuel and vehicles for us. Without you guys nonw of this would be possible. This is the only run that we did, it's Q1 on Friday Afternoon and it put us in 4th spot. The track was great on Saturday and unfortunately we snapped the blower belt but for a breif moment we were in the show. Thanks to Zap, Jerry and Diz for getting the car there for us, we are all looking forward to the Sydney event, it's going to be tough becasue the bump will be a 5 something and we will probably need to go quicker than we ever have to qualify but the Titan Australia / AllFast Torque Converters team will give it our best shot!

Our only shot at the Calder track put us into 4th spot with a 6.06. Unfortunately we were bummped to 10th spot after snapping the blower belt on the 2 step t...

Sorry to disappoint all the people back home but we unfortunately tossed the belt on the two step :-( on Q2 . We qualified 10th with our 6.0 from yesterday which is our best ever qualifying spot so we are happy that we are moving forward. Q3 was canceled as the race organisers have decided to try to finish the meeting before 8.00 pm. Our next stop is Sydney, so wish us good luck and we will keep you posted.

Well we made it the Calder and so did the car, thanks to Zap, Diz and Jerry. Q1 delivered a triple pedalling 6.0 to put us in 4th spot! The rain came in so Q2 has been canceled. I want to take the opportunity to thank the crew for getting me down the track, we have had a very testing day but against all odds we worked together and made it; well done Trev, Troy, Emillio, Paul and of coarse my beautiful partner Nicole, thanks for being there for me!
