PASS, WHICH WAS WASTED. BACK TO THE PITS & THE TEAM
STARTED TO REMOVE THE POWERGLIDE , STALL CONVERTER
& ALSO DRAIN THE CONTAMINATED TRANS OIL. THANKS TO
MARK SHEARER HAVING A SPARE STALL CONVERTER.
THE CREW DANNY SELVA, CHRIS FINNIN, SCOTT FITZPATRICK,
ROB KRANJC & ROB BAIN DID A INCREDABLE JOB TO GET
THE DRAGSTER READY FOR NEXT ROUND OF QUALIFYING.
THE QUALIFYING RUN WAS INTERESTING, THE DRAGSTER
LEFT THE START LINE VIOLENTLY, WHEN IT SHIFTED TOP
GEAR, IT HOPPED AROUND IN THE BACK END & THEN STARTED
TURNING THE TYERS. IT NEEDED CORRECTING BEFORE
THE FINISH LINE & STILL RAN ET. 8.07@162MPH.
BACK TO THE PITS, MADE SOME CHANGES BUT UNFORTUNATELY
THE CHANGES DID NOT GO OUR WAY & THE DRAGSTER RAN
SLOWER WITH A ET. 8.09@158MPH. THE TEAM WAS STILL
HAPPY WE HAD QUALIFYED THIRD OUT OF 21 CARS.
LUCK WENT OUR WAY IN THE SPLIT SEAT ROUND OF RACING.
THE DRAGSTER SMOKED THE TYERS OFF THE STARTLINE
& I THOUGHT THE RACING WAS OVER , BUT WHEN I LOOKED UP
MY WIN LIGHT WAS FLASHING. BERNIE MCGRATH RED LIGHTED
& GAVE THE WIN TO THE UNTAMED TEAM.
IN THE QUARTER FINALS UNFORTUNATELY WE RED LIGHTED. THE
DRAGSTER TURNED THE TYERS OFF THE LINE & RECOVERD,
SO I WENT FOR IT. WE RAN ET. 8.01@167MPH.
THE REACTION TIME WAS .374 SO OBVIOUSLY THE WAY THE DRAGSTER
IS RUNNING WE NEED A LOT MORE DELAY IN OUR BOX.
ALLROUND THE UNTAMED RACING TEAM WAS VERY HAPPY.

ADELAIDE SPRINGNATIONALS NOV. 16, 2000
THE UNTAMED DRAGSTER WAS RAN AT THE NOV. 16, 2000
MEETING WITH A NEW STALL CONVERTER. UNFORTUNATELY
THE WEATHER CONDTIONS WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO
DETERMINE IF THE STALL CONVERTER WAS COMPATABLE.
ALTHOUGH WE ARE REASONABLE CONFIDENT ITS WORKING OK.
WE QUALIFYED FIFTH OUT OF FIFTEEN CARS WITH A
ET. 8.40@160 MPH. & ET. 8.38. SO THE DRAGSTER WAS RUNNING
FAIRLY CONSTISTENT. WE RACED BILL HONAN IN THE FIRST ROUND. BILL HAD THE R/TIME ADVANTAGE
BUT HIS CAR RAN WAY OFF HIS DIAL-IN. THE UNTAMED
RACING TEAM DIAL-IN WAS ET. 8.35 & WE WON WITH A ET. 8.45.
IN THE QUARTER FINALS WE RACED TOP QUALIFYER,
RACHAEL CLANCY. R/TIMES WERE WITHIN .001 OF A SECOND,
AT THE END IT WAS A DUAL BREAKOUT WITH RACHAEL BREAKING OUT BY LESS. SO THE WIN WAS AWARDED TO RACHAEL.
A GOOD CLOSE RACE.
RACHAEL CLANCY WENT ON TO WIN HER FIRST NATIONAL
EVENT.
CALDER PARK DRAG RACING DEC. 9, 2000
THE UNTAMED DRAGSTER WAS RAN AT THE DEC. 9, 2000 MEETING.
BEFORE THE MEETING WE MADE SOME CHANGERS TO
MOTOR . LUCKILY THE CHANGES WENT OUR WAY &
THE DRAGSTER RAN LIKE A DREAM. ON RACE DAY THE WEATHER
CONDTIONS WERE GOOD, IN THE FIRST ROUND OF QUALIFYING THE DRAGSTER RAN ITS BEST EVER ET. 7.93 @ 170 MPH. IN
ROUND TWO OF QUALIFYING THE WEATHER CONDTIONS WERE NOT
QUITE AS GOOD BUT THE DRAGSTER STILL RAN
A VERY CLOSE ET. 7.95 @ 166 MPH. WITH THESE TWO RUNS WE
QUALIFIED SECOND OUT OF A TWENTY FOUR CAR FIELD.
IN THE SPLIT SEAT ROUND OF RACING I PULLED UP NEXT TO GOOD
FRIEND & COMPETITOR CRAIG BAKER, CRAIG`S DIAL-IN WAS 9.82 &
CRAIG RAN ET. 9.82 WITH A .460 R/T. OUR DIAL-IN WAS 7.95 & WE RAN ET. 7.95 UNFORTUNATELY OUR R/TIME
WAS TOO SLOW WITH .550, WHICH GAVE CRAIG THE WIN.
ALLROUND THE DRAGSTER RAN VERY WELL & VERY CONSISTENT.
ONCE I SHARPEN UP THE R/TIMES , THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.
CASTROL AUSTRALIA DAY CLASSIC JAN. 27th 2001

BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT RAINED AND THE MEETING WAS CANCELLED. AFTER A GOOD WEEKEND OF RACING UNFORTUNATELY THINGS TURNED BAD. 4 HOURS INTO OUR 17 HOUR TRIP HOME, THE TOW CAR BROKE DOWN 22km NORTH OF MOREE. IT WAS A 13 HOUR TOWTRUCK TRIP HOME TO SHEPPARTON VIC AND MADE IT A VERY EXPENSIVE TRIP.
