Mate of mine is having the best mid life crisis you could have.A year and a bit ago he decided he wanted to go dragracing,so with his trusty xw falcon of we went to Sydney Dragway and we started racing in street fighter and running in the track point series,so far after sunday night the car has gone from 16.24 when we started to our best so far of 14.19@97mph,2 runner up trophys and one championship trophy,the car is nothing special as far as engine goes but just keeps getting better,we picked up a couple tenths getting rid of his 20year old super coil and stock single point dizzy.
We hope to step up to super street soon so all i have to do now is rig up a remote electric charge so i can get him down below .200 reaction,suppose i should give him a little leeway he is an old fella suffering a crisis. Go Ruffnutz Racing. |

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

Well done,
He must have a great Crew Chief to get him moving so well. Don't worry too much about the reaction time, I am sure it will get better with age |
