Default Heathcote Test and Tune pics 8/1/06 (WRX 151MPH)
We went out to Heathcote today there was Rod his son Matt and myself..
wasn't to many cars but there were a couple of stand out quick passes.
Seen a WRX AWD had four slicks on it (as seen in pics) anyway it did a 1.29 60 foot ET: 8.80 151 mph not bad for 4 cyl turbo..
Also same guy's had a Skyline was driven to the track it done a lazy ET: 9.7# 141 MPH, big turbo and big shot....on drag radials and space saver rims...what made these passes more impressive was it was 35 deg in Heathcote today...
The only down side was the Skyline had no cage, no shoot and normal seat belts...
Below the HT monaro and the green XW was owned by husband and wife, the HT was hers, both cars run hi 11s low 12's, she whipped him on the side by side we seen..
The VW's are interesting cars, there running VW drivelines with big turbo's...most cars today it was there 1st time out...

I put a pic in of the new carport covers that have been put up at Heathcote.

Casper 1 goes for the full length of the pits, from track to the garages, then there is one more that only goes half way, they do have plans to finish that one all the way.
I seen today it had some fluro lights recently installed...
