Just watched danny run his 1st 10,after running a string of 11,0s for the last few meetings,and some more 11.0s today he made a big leap with a 10.79@123[think that was the mph] with a 1.46 60ft.

Purseverance paid off,well done Grin

cheers richie

Also have to say well done to Bernie for his 9.793,not sure if that was a pb or not as he ran a 9.79 beofre,but it was a really good run and looks like he has got all his issues sorted

and Also Walter[airspeed] for his 11.06,I think a huge improvement Smiley

Great achievement Danny. I missed your run as stuck in the fire up lane but hopefully someone filmed it and it'll be posted on you tube etc  Grin

As Richie says, Walter ran superb too and oh so close to a ten for him also. Well done Walter.

Cool,any quicker? how were the 60fts? I watched a couple of passes today and saw another 1.40 something?  Keep plugging away Danny,I feel that you should be able to go 10.50s with what you have got if you keep making these steps Cool

Thanks Ritchie, not a pb but pleased with the 3 strong 9's in a row. (headwind  no prep etc) Hopefully a few issues sorted but this morning on fire up nasty noise when clutch depressed so pulling the  motor (this week) before DDD
Danny had the same conditions for his 10 so that was a good 10. See you in Germany Smiley

Thanks Richie!
We just got back and still in awe over the awesome weekend at Action. Great weather, company and racing!
BIG congrats to Danny's awesome runs. He sure does run consistant. Well done mate!
It was great to meet and see quite a number of Outlaw cars and members there, even though I don't know most of them by face/name ( Embarrassed)
Bad Berny's runs were awesome to watch and it is such a beautifull car. Pics don;t do the paintwork justice, but still here's a pic with Danny's car just behind it:


Yeah, I do have some handling issues doing the 1/4 mi thing and I think I now know where to start  Wink.
The 11.06 was with a 1.65 60ft and 125.25mph (201.5 km/h) end speed.
Good thing I brought some spare underwear as that one run the wall came far too close for comfort... Shocked
Thanks all for coming and making the racing so interesting!
