Yes i know, it's been like a month since i last uploaded new contecnt onto the web and blogged about my travels to the track but you will be happy to know i have just uploaded images from the 14/3 Track Championship and 27/3 Full Throttle Friday meet.
Hit the 'Read More' tab for a few highlights from the 2 events.
Will start off with the Track Championship meet,
It was good to see Bill Nabham out again behind the wheel. This time he has steering Craig Wassan's 20BPP SHERIFF RX3 to mid 9's.
Rocky Rehayem had the front wheels of the Mazda6 up in the air on every pass and 6.90's are becoming a walk in the park for the Pac Performance crew as they look to increase the lead as the Worlds fastest rotary.
If you look upthe word 'Insane' in the dictionary there should be a picture of Frank Mamone. This guy is mad. His super tough Chevy Nova is running a Ex Top Doorslammer engine up front and trying to put all that power to the ground through a pair of 10in tyres! Event with the setup currently running on a very lazy tune the car just frys the tyres as it tries to make it's way down the track.
At the most recent Track Championship meet (yes, the one i wasn't able to attend) Frank managed to peddle the Nova to a 6.9 with the tyres turning the whole way. INSANE!
Dave Miller seems to be getting the hang of steering the little red 1000 Ute knocking over a few mid 9's. The car looks to be a real handfull to drive with Dave still strigling to keep into it for a full pass. With some more track time im sure we will start to see some times indicative of the cars full potential
Anthony LaPenna had the 2JZ Lux cocking the front left wheel up on every pass looking like a dog pissin on a tree, but one of the last passes of the day he suffered some major tyre shake resulting in the front headlight falling off the car and shattering into a million pieces on the track. Not to metion giving Anthony one killer headache i would imagine!
Sam Sabato's Monaro might not look like much on the outside but with launches like this on every pass and slapping gears though a manual box he is always one to watch
Another tough Monaro out on the track was Carlo Luisi's PURPUL GTS. Such a smooth sounding car as it picks up the front and fly's down the 400m
Always one of my favorite's is Matt Grubisa in the big red 57 Chev GRUBEE. Such an awesome looking car and it has some big balls under the hood too.
Phil Read and Mark Mariani were both out in the Top Fuelers absolutely shaking the stands
Lately i seem to have become a magnet for cars as they seem to aim for me when they get out of shape. This was the last shot i took before i jumped away like a girl. Ha ha, i need to stop doing that, i miss out on some pretty good shots as a result...
Anthony Wilsons altered is one awesome looking machine!
Moving onto the 27/3 Full Throttle Friday meet we will start off as usual with some hard core rotor action with the long awaited debut of SDR's Steve Dimich's Ex Puerto Rico Datsun 1200. The old Steidel coupe has been given a visual freshen up, along with a new 13BT setup. Steve had the little coupe throwing out some mad flamage on the 2 step and while he didnt manage to get a full power pass in on the night the car was launching very hard and straight out of the hole. I believe this car will become a real force in the Pro Compact class.
Another new car stepping into the scene is this imaculate R100. PRO100 is in fact the old NOSPIG and has been given a full rebuild and 13BT/Liberty combo. GAS Motorsports Joe Signorelli was in the drivers seat for this meet putting down a few test passes in practice for Compac Attak
RX3 sedans just look right in white...
Now this is one car we havn't seen on the track for ages. MR12A is back and ready to show those bigger rotors just what the little 12A is capable of.
The Envy Dyno R33 drag car managed to break into the 8's but not before getting a bit out of shape and knocking down all but one of the timing markers like pins in a bowling alley.
Bozin Georgievski's Maatouk backed VL Calais spat out 9.2@145mph
Matt Gildon is still pushing for that 7 sec pass on the turbo Busa. It shouldn be too long now.
Capri's arent usually my thing but in the case of these two i will definatly make an exception. RAMMER is just an animal
and the twin turbo lexus powered Capri is one tough 9sec street car
Top Fuel Bike. Leonard Azzopardi you are insane!!
PMPGAS, one sexy RX3 steered by Pac's George Rehayem
Now i will leave you with the wheelstand of the month curtesy of Chris Papadopoulos in the GT Falcon. Up-Up & Away.....
Full gallery is now up on http://www.jngimages.com/ so check it out.
I am still catching up on processing my images from the Compac Attak event due to my current CS3 program not wanting to open the D3s files from the Body i borrowed on the day, so once i get CS4 up and running i will be sure to get them up ASAP. I also have photos from last nights Full Throttle Friday meet (17/4) all ready to go, and boy i cant wait to show them to you. Some crazy ass wheel stands let me tell you...
Till then, catch ya at the track.
Jason
