I've beed part of Shane r's pit crew this season and decided it was time I saw what all the fuss was about.

My van, Hank is running a stock 1600 engine with a single carb so was never going to be quick but I had a blast trying it out. I managed to get 11 runs in over the day as there wasn't much queueing and my best time was 24.94

I also managed to pull my bed out and have a nap in the fire-up lane while they closed the track for lunch :D
 
Nice one :)

I had to work Friday so missed watching the days RWYB
 
Blugg from VZi kindly shot a video for me too, unfortunately he caught my slowest run of the day.

He ran a 11.4917 and I did 26.0113 :lol:

I corssed the line with my wipers going as it started raining half way down. I did have time to wave to the rest of the guys in the pits as I crossed the line too!
 
I'm not turning him into a race bus, this was just for a bit of fun. and fun it definately was. :D
 
I RWYB'd once, on an 8th mile sprint track at the old National Auto Showground, in my old 1600 late bay. It was a good chuckle and odd for vans to be on the strip in 'those days' :lol:

Engine gave up the ghost a week later and Ive never been tempted again :roll:

I was there too and got a PB :D 17.1 with no gas. 8)

Congrats on the PB :D I think there were a lot of people who got them this weekend. Both Shane, Helen and pit crew Alex all from our team got PB's

I've just been offered a 4 into 1 header with twin quiet pack, will that make it any less slow?
