Default Re: TRP Racing Ford Falcon XR6T runs 9.1@159mph, update 8.48@165mph.

Hey all - a tough weekend at Jambo as far as times went unfortunately. We might have got a step too far ahead of ourselves with the car set-up and it didnt end up panning out. We only managed a best time of 8.7@161mph and had launch problems across all 6 passes we got over the weekend.

There were some positives though, we kinda know a few more areas of what not to do and have a little bit more insight into how to better manage the launches to try and get some consistency there.

We have a little bit of work to do to fix up the roof where the sunroof blew out, and then when we come out next I will be jumping behind the wheel to start steering the car. The engine is working well and we have plenty of power - so our focus is all on the launch and first half-track side of things to try and improve.

On the flip side - the car generated plenty of interest at Jambo and even though we didnt get to show its true potential on the track it was awesome to meet and hang out with a heap of fellow enthusiasts.
