With that suspension setup for drags?

Eitherway, that is seriously quick.

the only thing u will see under there that u won't see on a Capri that rolled off the factory line in 1970 is the 9'' diff and Caltracs. the class we race we have to run factory style suspension.

how it races on the track, is how it drives on the street, nothing suspension wise is touched.

SNB05T · 31-07-2011, 08:34 PM

this capri is one seriously quick beast man.
here's some of the pics i took of it in between S/F runs (and sprints from the grandstand to get to my runs after not hearing the call

)

Legit290 · 31-07-2011, 08:59 PM

just getting better and better as he gets it sorted

**gregaust** · 31-07-2011, 09:12 PM

Now that's impressive ..Well done !!

prasac · 31-07-2011, 09:21 PM

dan_b thanks mate, some great pics there. love the one of it going wheels up over the 60', had to give the photographers a shot

how did u end up going in S/F? which car was yours? the sorta lime/green Falcon? i saw it drive past a few times always caught my eye.

clarkey117 it's getting better, alot of issues which clouded what should have been a great weekend. Joe said he would be happy with a 8.20 and he got it. i was very happy because it took me only 1 wheelstand to work out how much boost to leave with

18psi = wheelstand, 16psi =1.31 60' tiny amount of wheel spin, 5500rpm & 14.5psi = perfect 1.285 60' PB

gregAust thanks mate.

TICK4D · 31-07-2011, 09:46 PM

Fantastic effort guys, well done. It takes alot of time and patience to get it right, and great to see you guys heading in the right direction-----> fast !!
Congratulations !!

no worries mate, always love watching the capri race.

reckon hayley and grant got some good pics too.

yeah got the acid rush XR8 with the CMS stickers on back 1/4 panels.
Got pipped at the post in the first round by about a door length with a 13.496 @ 103.56 but i'm happy with the whole weekend of racing, it just went so smooth (and quick with the schedule as well, credit to the track staff

)

since Ray Treasure took over, has been alot better and he is a real nice guy. even the staff seem alot happier, as do the racer. though i think for some classes a little more time is needed to set cars up.

that's racing, next time u could win by a door

i might join ya next time, been a while since i took the aurion out, gotta practice those lights, last time i went out i only cut 1 light under .1... this weekend we just went out to try and run a number and not even bother with trying to race, just let everyone go first and then he can go.

Grant loves it when Joe goes up in the air, means he gets cash

what's funny is a mate that crews with us, his in-laws own Badger Photography you'd think he would go thru them but 20 years of racing at WSID i think he is just so used to buying with Grant

thanks mate, hopefully we can find another .4 of a second

Hayesy's NOS Torana is regarded as the fastest street car (legally registered) we'd love to run up there with him, especially with a little 4L Jap motor

prasac · 01-08-2011, 08:14 PM

picture of engine bay, courtesy of the Street MAchine photo-shoot. damn this pic looks great but they didn't use it in the mag

Pub247 · 02-08-2011, 11:27 PM

i was tempted, but, if my brother ever saw it i would never hear the end of it

as much as we love each other and want the best for each other we have a little rivalry which is good it pushes us to go harder n faster

**Tucool** · 03-08-2011, 10:44 AM

Great pic Paulie, well done.

Congrats on the NEW PB!

Great Pics Dan was great weather for racing and the schedule was much better then last time a lil to quick sometimes saw us all running back from the stands lol. They really need to fix that up you can't hear the calls if you watching. I did a NEW PB too super slow 15.6 haha

thanks mate, also congrats on your new PB also, doesn't matter the time fast or slow a PB is a PB and ur just as happy as sum1 running 5's as someone running 25's

you gotta start somewhere, not everyone has the opportunity or $'s to build a quick car. u might be doing 15's now in 5 years u might be running 10's u never know. keep up the great work.

they did go thru it quite quick, they usually guesstimate everything breakages, oil downs etc.

woohoo yeah baby

back in the APSA Top 10 Modified Street Blown cars in the country, sitting at number 9. the 240ci sits up there nicely with all the big cube turbo and NOS cars

Mod Street Blown is for factory style suspension cars. that are either blown, NOS or turbo.

mcclup · 03-08-2011, 03:04 PM

The wilson/Kryger torry ran at Mackay for a round of the APSA pro street shootout.

the Staunch Torana is an absolute beast, Simon has piloting duties while Johnny recovers from his lil accident

we share the same gearbox builder and i have seen the damage up close & personal of what that thing can do to gearboxes

will be a shame when it leaves the MSB class next year to join the Outlaw 10.5 class. though im happy, i get to race alongside it with my 10.5 car.

Corzza · 04-08-2011, 08:52 AM

Mate thats awesome!!!

prasac · 04-08-2011, 09:24 AM

thanks Corzza

popped down to vince's last night. unfortunately over the weekend i couldnt check the logging, there was an issue between the logger and my laptop (windows incompatibility?) there was some serious revving issues happening. u can sorta hear it in the video of the 8.20 run just before it chages into 2nd. revs plateau and drop, then pick up again. we think its the gearbox or possibly converter. those are the only 2 things that have changed since, last meet out.

Giant · 04-08-2011, 03:47 PM

Thanks heaps yeah I had great fun always do great people in street fighter like Dan Brown along with the rest of the feild makes them great meets.

good stuff, yeah i think the new management has made people alot more relaxed also. seen Ray running around all day like a mad man, its great to have them on top of everything.

i was nestled between 2 of my favourites cars Joe Gauci's Cortina and Pistol Pete's Camaro, Campo's beast was 1 over also, gotta love it. such a cruisy atmosphere.
