The V8 Owners Forum -

I was testing the Chim ay york yesterday and they had the 0-60 camera set up in the right lane....
I was amazed at a best of 4.00.
Didnt get my et best but not far off with a 12.3, good enough for 2nd place in t class.... darn Holden took 1st with 12.0

Not to shabby on the 0-60, what were your 60ft times like??

Only managed a 2.0 this weekend but had a 1.85 last time on a 12.22 1/4

Great times mate. Well done. Have you considered using a bit of gas??
If you are doing those times with no Nitrous, you will beat the crap out of the 1/4 with a 50 or 100 shot.

Nice one derek !! I got a couple of your runs on tape , Then come for a walk around the side where you were and you were no where to be seen Where did you sly off to ??

Hi perry, How is it going. Derek uses gas when he doesnt waste it
Im sure he uses 60bhp and gets a very respectable 12.2 with it.

thats impressive, doesnt half go light on the front end

Yeah a 12.2 @113 with 60 early August via a pushbutton.
Wired the progressive controller in this time and changed the jets for a 100 but no improvements on the day... close with a 12.3 @112.
Darn Holden won t class with 12.0 @117.

Already planning angle of attack for the Sept Hot rod meet.

Look no hands..... or head lol

Got into the 3's at York last weekend with a 3.9513 recorded by the 0-60 camera in the right hand lane. Thats 1 record i was aiming for, its that elusive 11 i want next. With higher terminals upto 116.85 it must be possible at the next meet if the weathers kind.

Good numbers there Derek!!

More to come this year I hope??
