Default Joe Gauci PROFAB Cortina APSA MSB Record @ Sydney Jamboree Video's
an amazing effort by Joe and the crew. coming out and blitzing his own record not just once but twice! posting a 7.41@197 then a 7.37@199mph, and he even drove it back to the pits after the 7.37 pass i had never seen sooooo many people at the track whip their phones out and start texting about his achievement. popped down to congratulate Joe after the pass he and his crew were pumped, watch out for May 14th i know Joe wants that 200mph

MSB rules state:

1.5 Standard rear suspension points must be used, rear suspension mounts maybe reinforced or fabricated in standard size, shock absorber location can be moved, and leaf springs can be moved inwards.

7.41@197

yeah, a couple of other guys have protested. i think it has to do with the blade and housing setup. people are always going to question things, we race in MSB and Joe's car to us seems more than fine, hopefully their won't be a problem and the record stands.

Even if there is, no matter what, it is awesome for a 28.5 x 10.5 tyre.
Congrats.

definitely got all the bottle boys on the run. Johnny has been really pumping the NOS in and trying to get the power down. check out this run on youtube, the thing won't stay down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV7CXwDQYNA

i read the same thing that him n Simon are gonna hookup n 3/4 chassis Johnny's Torana. but i think Johnny will keep trying for now in MSB, Norm @ Northmead Auto just built the new engine for him a few weeks back, and it made more power with lower comp than before, so i think they are going to be able to pump in more NOS.

i reckon once johnny gets that thing to stay down it is going to give joe a bloodly good run, might even go close to knocking off his time. my opinion though

he is definitely going all out, Johnny and Simon are very clicked on guys, if any of the bottle boys can give it a go, it's definitely them.

True, Simons had 100's of cars and refined all of them very well, remember his LJ?? That bloody thing was amazing considering his budget.

Simon can drive anything and am surprised he hasnt moved up the ladder.

Joe's run was brilliant

over the next few years will be a few more cars coming. it makes it hard for the little guys with a small budget, but u can only try. once u start getting into 7-sec territory it gets costly.

peak power from 70mm turbo's is being reached, a good set of 70mm turbo's will pump out maybe 1800-2000hp. by my calculations Joe had to be making around 1900hp to run that pass.
