Hello everyone

Welcome to the Perth Motorplex for the second round of the 2009/2010 ANDRA Pro Series. We are all sitting around waiting to put the engine together. It is pretty hot here. There is a forecasted top of 37 degrees today. Our first pass is at 7.00 and the second at 9.30. We are all ready for a great days racing.

We did 3 testing passes on Wednesday which has given us a good baseline for qualifying today. It took us two passes to get a handle on the race track. On the third run we did a 330ft shut-off which had a 0.879 60FT and 2.26 330FT. We estimate that to be around a 4.7 second pass.

We will getting a gasket call at around 4.00pm and will be warming the car up at 6.00pm ready for the first round.

We will have results, blogs, pictures and video coverage for both days of racing so make sure you check back for more updates.

Ben
