With old engine:




As it sits now:



Fastest ET to date was with the old engine and was 10.57 @205kph with sportsmans on the back.

If you check out one of the gazzanats vids, scott was full lock in the dirt at one stage. He will be at Performance car mania at winton on the weekend of september 19th, So if ya wanna see it in the flesh with the new blown mill come check it out. Gunna be an awesome weekend!

On a side note, does anyone remember a black datsun 1200 turbo rotary ute doin the springnats and easternats?, That was scott. he also had an r33 skyline which he drifted as well as a v6 corolla and v6 gemini to name a few. One things for sure, he definitely knows how to drive.
