Pro Slammer & Sportsmans, Summer Thunder, Sydney Dragway - January 18, 2020

Why lose 566 in the first half? Welcome to Sydney Dragway. We're here for Santos Summer Thunder and on today's show we focus on Pro Slammer. Supercharged sedans with more than 3,000 horsepower. The fastest cars we see with doors. This event, of course, was. scheduled for a week ago but rain intervened, it was good news for our firefighters but we had to postpone the event until this Australia Day weekend, some teams struggled to miss the event due to other commitments etc, and we're really hoping the fans show up as we watch the guys from the Berkshire Park Rural Fire Brigade grace the meal.

They represent all the fires that have done such a spectacular job across Australia during this horrible

summer

we've had, let's take a look. on the official 400 Thunder merchandise championship leaderboard, Steve Ham is on top after his victory in the Atlantic Oil East Coast Thunder by van Bray Calvin wall and Jeff gladden art here Mike inter wood in fifth John's Apia down in sixth, I don't think he knew there was a six, hey, but it's all about the hot matte booth down there with Michelle Davies. Michelle Davis has had an incredible change to the car in the last few weeks at Pro Slammer, some changes to the system, the ignition system, some big ones. improvements to the car and it's scoring 582 in qualifying, you're very happy with that, yes we're excited, we couldn't be happier, we put a new fuel tax system on the car, we had to rebuild the engine.

At the last meeting we kept the cranks out, so our rookies helped us with the whole engineering side of things for my discharge, helped us with the fuel tax system, and my amazing team put the car back together to make us happy. dragon, not only are you having a great time this weekend, some fantastic results, you are also very close to your heart, the bushfires were very close, see you guys really went out and helped some fundraisers do some amazing things in the car. Explain that to us yeah well this devastation across Australia Australia was literally on fire so you know everyone can put their hands in their pockets and donate but we thought you know what an opportunity it is for these guys to think about the bushfires and everything What has happened.

It touched a lot of people in Australia and the volunteers here help us all the time, you know they are always the first to get their cars out, it's a shame it takes this to thank them so we thought we'd take it today and raise a bit of funds for him, they deserve it, they definitely do and we can't thank them enough for their time, thanks for the absolutely incredible work of that team, well let's take a look at who is running and at what speed. year our ten best elapsed times of the season there are only three names on the list Stephen Hamm Kelvin loyal Ben bright it's all ham at the top but the interesting thing Markman john zakian 11 time champion doesn't even appear in the top ten but that's crazy, that is what stands out, this is the name that is not there in Sofia, he is moving trapped here in one of the races, we are on board with that man looking to make amends, he did not have a happy first round of the championship.

The car back to Perth did some racing there and was very beautiful. The new AC Delco Mineiro of fabulous advertising careers with the introduction of Mark is behind the wheel, but now we are back on board with John Zapier for the books and a babysitter. Hot Shots. ran extremely fast at the Perth multiplex, hopes to be able to turn that performance here in Sydney, but wow, it's human, the weather conditions are really taking a toll on these teams, it's very very muggy, there's a lot of water in the oxygen content, so when you get that There's a type of water in that type of content, it's very difficult to burn the internal decision, especially when they're compressing that air through the supercharger, the track conditions are a little complicated and the tuning side of things, let's see what's happening here around my mark should work.

For AC Delco and our team this is a new car and like John Sofia it had some very successful tests before the spin, they are in a big DB 571 knocking on the 560's door, this is going to be a really good race and well , they are two different heroic eras of Manaro, of course, it's great to see them side by side. John's Apia on display. The all-time drain on this style of drag racing, taking that car to the pre-stage. I trust the event was delayed a week. It has affected some of the teams. viewers Hinshaw would say that Nellie John is a bi, he attempts 568,409 kilometers per hour just to get things going 568 the man is back, which puts him in the top 10 list and right on the pointy end, for what last 409 km/h there were problems mark what his tires shook at the starting line, he crossed the center line, but everything was going on the right track for John Zapier, yes, that's exactly it, it's that unpredictability that makes us laugh and his brother laughs, he's very rich, he stayed together, so that's what you were throwing, yeah, we found out that we did some things up in the previous race and we took too much counterweight off them, we put it back, we went back out and come back in the sixties, so we're happy that with these conditions and I also want to thank Morris, who worked his ass off here and unfortunately I couldn't get the cartoon, but in a big event, it's really amazing what those guys have done, what you have done, you can go and buy Islamic off the show, that's right, you know, until the Australian icon built Australian cars just like Victor's cars and you know we're proving that we can match them with the best for that they can take out all the American cars, yes, us. they're down here with John Zachary just holding on a water buddy shoots him late but quick a 68 you gotta be happy with that you know it was a good car well there's still some clutch stuff left and they cleared up and they got going and I hit the bumps at the end and I just bounced so bad that I missed the shot when I got the shot I was already like 100-200 meters this way and I had to brake a little bit more, I hit the brakes, the bumps are there.

Come on, but yeah, they're done, any hot shot, manaro, just support, he has to be in front of the group and we just have to keep him there until the end. I need two more rounds to do what we're going to do. To mark a clue, you wouldn't do it for a second, but thanks for your time. That's fine thanks. The onboard shots in John's car are absolutely graphic. Here we really highlighted the clutch that they fill the booth with a pass if they haven't already done so. I got that configuration only Royce because and he also missed that parachute, leave it slightly crossed, finish well, here's Gary Phillips back in Prairie

slammer

with his elbow and refrigerated transport lumen lighting up back to Studebaker.

Haven't driven this car since 2018 winter national game now I have my driver down there why couldn't we get through coming fast with a mark at Shorewood a little wild ride over the center line you might have broken something in the back from ACDelco manaro yes, there is look, there is There is definitely something that is not happy there, but you know we will come back, we will fix it, we will repeat and we will try to get it out again and try again. Thank you all for being in the stands and staying tuned. See you next round, thanks Gary.

Phillips, of course, is a 24-hour golf championship, but he also won a championship in this car in the

slammer

class, but he is a former national champion in this car, one time national champion, in this limit, in a grade in the one they fought on embarrassed straights in races to get This car was ready this weekend and ran into the middle five at 350,000 miles per hour, which isn't a bad way to slow down the game. Ben, yes, absolutely, Shane Phillips, who seemed very professional, much slower than he expected. trying to do a 76 77 something like that so I had to do a little bit of homework and figure out why it slowed down but at least that was down the track so we got some decent et points hoping best wishes.

Thank you, yes, how. Well it's seeing Gary Phillips come back to a prize, mate he was in the first round but a pretty happy 82 with that, yeah I actually thought he was a bit better than that, maybe he'd been out of the seat too long . I know it's the same in June 2018, but hey, the alpine freshness is coming, illuminating everyone who helped us get here. We certainly didn't come here just to drive, so yeah, the old girls are back, that's not bad for a first race, thanks for your time. Yeah, good for you, good job, well it's been a long time out of that car seat.

Steve Ham and digger ID Williams compare the Camaro to an extremely fast investigator Michelle Davis in yesterday's testing. Can you translate that into race day performance? On board with Steven Ham, they actually have a new set of heads this weekend for this car, so they are very conservative with their setup in testing, they just want to make sure that everyone who was good didn't get hurt. any part of this was very safe, so they were very conservative, probably made me a little more aggressive here and wanted to compete against Michelle dad. Oh sorry by the way I used the fastest female limit rider in Australia during those 580km tests, yes I think The team will try to maybe move on, you know Steve Hamm dominates the board fastest at the moment , so while they are happy with an 82 that they probably like a little more, there are two time champion for my hand, these are not only providing Tuning Tips for Michelle baby, but with their fuel technology service they are also toasting Steven Ham so he has a pink shirt so I think he might be hoping that one of his clients does better than the other this time that's it we can. look at the cars Davis now leading that we saw today was between stages, you heard the signal, they are ready to race, Steven, he, has a ridiculous amount of passes without having to pedal, get in or out of the car, cross the finish line, a unprecedented approach motto. he had to move on I'm on Steam Jinx on Big Time Ham gets the $5.99 win over a problematic Michelle Davies but it wasn't clean yes Stewie Roland not too keen on that no no not quite there yes he just overshot the mark We've been kind of struggling with the 60 foot times trying to improve them, but yeah, I just can't get it early on the first point five of the second, it's just not fast enough there and yeah, so try to hit it harder. early and obviously he takes too many wheels played further and made it slower there and yeah he just turns left and it's all over but I guess you know where your limits are because you've been going down the track you just pushed it too much.

Silly games you thought about, yeah, well, we'll give you your money back for the next one. You definitely pushed it too hard that time, but we're just trying to find it as part of the engine a little more than you're selling their heads on this one. weekend and we've just been backing them up and made a change to the fuel system that made more power than we expected, obviously just pushing it to the limit, just an interview that once again reinforces how much these guys have to think of us just grab even the hammer, a quick hit, a little pedal party, dude, dude, I was twenty-two or twenty-three, I think so, I just stood on it, so I don't know what happened there, I felt like it the tires would have fallen off. a fair start, so we'll go and scratch our heads, figure out what went wrong and hopefully come back in the next race and clean it up, but yeah, I'm happy to turn on the green light and a victory light.

Thanks for Steve Ham, he has the point earner but the problem is with a 599: you may not end up with a handful of ET bonus points and they are really vital especially when we run this full format here for limit range Priced like a

summer

Thunder. Benny Bray in a solo class, he was actually scheduled to race Emilio Spinozzi Spinozzi in the early test pass who actually shared a small pump boost on his engine, he had a little damage, they were switching to the second engine, but it seems which never had a It's time to get here for the first round of racing, you should see him come back in the second round, but Benny Bray will be a little lucky here and have a solo pass and I was wondering if he had had some problems in the So far this weekend the differential gears are going through a number of difficulties at every pass and they're not sure why it's the weak link in these high-powered supercharged sedans these days.

Randy's car championship ladder for the drum genius of thecentury alone passed 586,383 kilometers a year. The time doesn't quite match the zap, but guess what has more points than Steve Ham, let's get on with me right here. Sunoco's replay scene opened the button at launch. Now I think he actually leaves a little early for the finish lines, so speed. was down slightly, that's not me trying to hold on to those deadly gears, the car comes out strong, it's a little shake in the shift, it looks like he fired it maybe a fraction early to save that 50, although he's down there with Matt Cavanaugh, it is the first one.

Ben, you had some problems with the car, you are struggling with some shortcomings, you have to go to the next round, oh yeah, these two guys behind me, I'm sure they will make sure of the quality of the car. The car will be I'm probably in Dad's condition in Dad's condition because I just added these hubs now that the Woods team has helped me a little bit, give me a couple of their parts and I'll burn it all down so I don't. I don't know that maybe I have to stay Steve hem Journal, we can get one of these good ones and see if I can do at least two passes in one, but hey, that's a drag race, the vet of the century gets the win, they're a bummer.about Amelia you don't understand we all test the weight we all try to help him but that's drag racing man I'm sure there will be a day when he gives I give him one for free but until then see you soon, well I think the whole Crowd will be behind to see this car again, yes I hope so, and I have to get it out for the sponsors because they are the ones paying for it and he is doing a good job for it, that's for sure. a look at that 400th place on the official merchandise leaderboard John Zapier gets the biggest carry points with 28 Gary Phillips 27 Ben Bray 26 Steve Hammond, a camp leader in round 2 of 25, will be absolutely pivotal as to who ends up of the championship at the end of the night to pick up the big golden Christmas tree, we have all that action ahead of us and it's after the short break, so here you are in my office, the 1979 century battery powered Corvette, they asked me to explain what It's what I do when I go running.

Once my big crews start the car, I check all my stuff and make sure the engines have full pressure. I get here, I put it in first gear, I go forward, I put it in the highest gear before I hit the gas and I do it. a nice short exhaustion some say short I say enough Then I reach for the transfer button I put it in reverse I go back the team hopefully put me in the middle of the track so the race could go down the middle of the track and we can get there very far away, they stopped me about a car away from the starting line.

I put all my controls in place and make sure I'm ready to run. I go into career mode. I put the car back into forward gear, like this. I get on the starting line, double check that I'm first, the guys will put me as close to the beams as they are allowed, everyone will move away and then it will be on me. Then I place my thumb on the trans brake track ready to enter the stage I push it forward I put one light on I try to let my competitor turn his on with one light wait about three or four seconds for both of them to be ready you put your second light on trans brake button hard I throw it on the floor that light flashes but it can activate the automatic shifters shifts to warn me nowadays so I hold on to the wheel I keep the car in the middle about four and a half seconds ago I start looking for my Shifter of the parachute above my head.

I pull the chutes, probably along a car at the finish line, so I know they're out and I start hitting the brakes and try to find neutral as fast as I can, turn the corner and wait. Benny to get me the interview I won, welcome back to Sydney drag way Santos summer Thunder, it's Bruce calling on the show and we're heading into round number 2, we're running towards Thunder's three round system so We see all the cars and drivers three times throughout the event and this has created a great couple. He has been brave with a battery of a century and flow of pace against Steven Ham for IDW.

It's one and two in this is a huge matchup here. Early in the season, two-furrow Lemma saw him one day. Benny Bray was second in the lane next to him and I can tell you that Ben Bray has another couple of different kids in the back of this Corvette. I'm just showing you. It's amazing, it's a problem that Steven Ham had for quite some time and he developed a TSB racing rear end that he's exporting to the US and everything else, so what happens is they make more horsepower than they find next week, though exactly who I spoke to.

Benny, about the fifth year, talks about two big ones, each spends a specific couple of thousand dollars out of pocket, yes, he has good support from century batteries, but I think he needs a supply here these days, he says, This heavy roll has been Bray in his office Steve Hamm. he's been the guy to beat well at the end of the season to be honest, yeah well he's won two events in a row at this point since the season closing winter nationals in the first round this season for the Florida Sun, the championship he is in a bit. a street with this car Benny Bray has the dip thing in the back of his mind, he's not going to take the car to the future, he's worried about unlocking it and crossing the finish line at high speed and obviously you don't want that . in the first motto, well, crossing the finish line at four hundred kilometers per hour and having the rear wheels lock would be a very uncomfortable experience, that's for sure, there's your finger on the brake button that keeps it locked, pretty good , it will be Steven. hammer good 573 Ben jumped on the tree a little bit but it wasn't enough Benny, yeah that's a full shot from the guy, but we have a diff actively leaking B, that's a start, yeah, it looks like it's LV damage.

I don't know what went wrong, that well was our fifth course of the day, so I don't really know what the garden is. We put a little more hair on the car, but he shouldn't be doing what he's doing. and we've actually borrowed a couple of divs. I beg to differ, but they're not very fast, but you know, I don't know why they do that, they rip the discs off the car every time they get the right actions. I want to go in there, but this is okay, we have to use what we have and Steve's hands are always warm.

Heidi always happened. The family is about to leave, so let's see what happens in the next round. Okay, see you out there hoping that's the case. still in one piece what champion Victor broke in the tax dacha being out by himself Stephen hamdeen you might look a lot more comfortable McCart looked a lot better going down the track in the last race he should have gotten down and came out of the slot and so soon as it came out of the slot it bombed the tire in about two seconds, so this time we just slowed down again, being on the right, we hadn't gone down today, so yeah, 73, that was very much yours.

I know we had to slow down and make sure we had to get from A to B, but I hope next friend we can continue. Your good news is Emilio Spinoza's Terre. Several Hitoshi returned to Chevelle. I had a problem with the fog around one while he was doing it. We understand an engine change and he didn't get any points in the first round, so with an odd number of cars in the field he runs into the second round he could have guaranteed the win, that's the added advantage here for the past alone, you get the points.

He will get the 20 points it is about, now the only thing you have to worry about is yourself, the car, take your time to focus perfectly on the past and hopefully get some extra points. Cookie tea like he just left and came in right now. Look, Mike, the American crew chief will come within a few inches of where the preset beam is, stop it, and hand it to Spinozzi. Now Bill Edge, upstairs, turn on that pre-stage light. -I primed and pumped the car to full stage, a little tire squeaked off the line looking at me and he's going to run a 6:05 392.

In fact, I thought he looked a little better than that mark, but we saw that got a little. to shake the start here in another 590 in testing before this round erasing there will also be faster than that. I'm sure they were hoping for something better. I know they were very happy with the 590 they ran in testing. but a 605 probably just a tenth of a second away from where they want it to be now that Sunoco repeat there's a clean straight case just a little slow well here's Gary Phillips all day buying advantage of the session anyway, so he's in a good strong position right now, he's against my cred inside the AC Delco manaro in Shorewood oh, he lost quite a bit of form in the first stanza here he is in the right lane Gary Phillips with Lane choice has selected this brand of wet sand lane so I'm very happy there, the left lane is very popular with sedan drivers but I know when you look at other categories I prefer the right lane so it doesn't really matter I guess Sometimes it's a personal preference. for these guys especially with maybe where they sit in the decision cars you don't want to be in front of the big tsukitachi car looking at the Christmas tree very hopeful to have a clear view of that I actually have one like so I didn't leave you there Gary Phelps back in Bruges for the first time since June 2018 when the Nationals ended, yeah, and I think he's enjoying the experience now that we saw my kids, that first round run he would get, it's got to be fun because and alter his If possible you could have a very Christian reaction to Cod Kron, a little scared with these Mazar personally, more about the finesse, you don't want to put too much cereal in, so it still has that tendency sometimes it could be me before myself . on the court while he is still lying down to face these fresh lemons.

I'm a walled-off bald Gary Phillips. Daris trained in history as if it were my kitchen. 582,393 kilometers per hour and Gary Phillips pays a penalty for going off the pace. I think Benny, so the wife was up, she was down, then she sure came back up fabulous, it's pro slam oh that's the wave you get, no, no, that was good, it wasn't super fast, but his consistent marks didn't They do a good job and drive it exactly. right, congratulations mate, well done, they are happy babies to follow that whole narrative is just fascinating, isn't it going from elation to having a disappointment and back to the relationship again?

They look good, don't do the job forever. You know you come here as a young man, you see your heroes and then you get the chance to drive one of these professional bad boys Slammers and you go out and win a race against the legend Gary Phillips, amazing, fantastic, so happy for the beautiful beauty, do you? what kind of wait? Listening to the fads here, yes, I think it's on its way. I think he might as well be happy to dial it up just a little bit, he's the man, here we go. Jon Zapier got maximum points in round 1 of the race if he wants to do that.

Again, he's good, he has a faster career than Stephen Hams 570 Cybil Michelle hasn't had any luck with couples Hesse Sheeran Steve Heymann in the first round now facing Johnson, yes, it's a hard, hard life, in a prison , it is if you want. Be the best, you have to beat the best, that's how I see it, yeah, I think she would be absolutely delighted with the weekend. She already has two personal bests under her belt, the car has been running strong, maybe they only went over the mark by a fraction. In the first round, hopefully they are now entitled to the money and Michelle, we know she is quick with the lights, she may have the opportunity, if she can get a little bit of a head start, she will make life harder.

John Zapier, good. There is one area of ​​improvement that John Safia could consider is probably the reaction time here, still running the clutch style setup, one of only two cars this weekend so you'll see, John investigates, will increase the revs on the stage free and all that lightly. slide the clutch to take the car to the full stage with that rich software built into the comparison of the divers will be in the pool button, let's go to the bottom, remove more easily installed in the club configuration O, three stages are in Michelle Davies is on Higgins John's FBI with the river was long enough 583 - a 571, she needed it to be green, although it will be a big win for John zapier.

Ben Richards Apia, keep getting better, yeah we probably didn't get 4 because we wanted that. but there's like 2800 feet and 116 grains of water, so it's pretty hard to tune it so you know anything about 60, but anyway we got the win, we're in the finals against Steve Hamm, I think yeah, she'll be. interesting challenge at the top of the board, seems to be the topic of the day from the people I interviewed, that their smiles return if you look at the guys, well, John's Abbey is sitting on maximum points at the moment of course, smile too quickly in theThe lights tell you that she was fast enough to win a hole if she could have kept it green, especially zappy, it was two to one point in free time, so the steamer Davy on board with John Sophia hit. us, they are accumulating inside the coming card, it has hindered John Sophia's vision, he understands it when he sees the boat near the parachute, he goes to the final of the championship, he changes the water from the well to the first round, a Pro Slam of the season, John's.

It looks like you've gotten two wins in two rounds and are headed to the final against Steve Hamm. You know it's good that Delaney paneros are running like clockwork today and noon and Power have shown us that they're keeping us ahead and now really good. I was hoping for a 68 or 69, but 70, okay, what does it take to beat Stephen Han in good light and maintain performance? You know, we'll try to get the car back to 60, hopefully it cools down a little bit. for the final, but you know it will be great for him to throw something at him too, so yeah, it will be interesting, we are anticipating a great race, I can't wait to see you here, I hope I can give you, a golden Christmas tree, me too, thanks for the emotion of John zapier in an interview, he is very relaxed, but guess what he has relaxed to the top of the points, there John zapier, maximum 56 points, Steve ham 52.

The only two with two wins in two starts will go directly to the championship final. Everyone else will return for a third round where they will earn school points and that will keep them in the hunt. We have all the action. from the third round of pro slammer, some sportsman finals and it's coming up after this break, welcome back to Sydney

dragway

s Santos summer Thunder, now we're looking at the roachslam around 3:00, but before that we have some great sports of the finals and all these guys and girls chasing points in the Thunder Sportsman 400 series heading to the Australian championship finals there at the Gulf Westara oil winning Nationals will, they backed Raceway in June, Modified Eliminator on the screen, now this is a class for dragsters, all the turds, funny cars, any kind of open vehicle grills and it's also a link with its own clutch so basically these guys are going to take a while to get their case out. the right side screen East Island seven point six seven seconds and Daniel Flack in the lane next to him in the alternate orange one thousand eight point four three seconds will jump first on that alter Linette will chase him on the altered target first on the finish Line wins as long as they don't go faster than the time they have nominated.

All redline be aware that those two cars start with a 0.76 handicap and then it all comes down to the fact that the winning light goes to Daniel Flack. a light of more than 26 goes to 846 in his 843, his love obtains the victory here and modifies it, rising to second place. Next we move on to Top Sportsman, these very fast sedans run on the same dial, their own format, we have Dave Whitmore against Frank Olivieri Paulo. Very, he's scored there tonight, birdie, he'll get very skinny for hundreds of seconds in a handicap start from Whitmore in the Commodore.

Here these guys really focus on their reaction times. These cars are very, very consistent. They have passed the fifth round of racing. For today, for these guys, to really pay attention to the cars, go why and their reaction times and it's an automatic win: Frankel, Erika's Whitmore, is left at the red light on the tree. Oliveri achieves some windows 8.40 seconds, 264 kilometers per year. hour and David Whitmore comes in at 8:40 and 260 to preside, yeah good win for Tirana with multiple spares in there, as we move into the performance bike group, now no diamonds here, they are at a disadvantage on the record national for your individual class. so this is basically his throw, get to the finish line first and win, don't read the light, we have the reigning National Champion on the sidelines and Ken: Monster Wally comes off the line here next to the impostor goes 144 Collins to a little back I don't think Colin is going to catch it and Wally Hosta takes the win goes 869 or 270 sticks in our Ken: goes 8 1 1 to 250 for the runner-up you: I never really looked at that one while we were moving Now, the super competition highlighter, that's Fred and a cash tree, and he's going up against Adrián Vela.

Both cars running under their national records have been very very competitive this is a really good matchup here in the final anyone can choose besides Bell or in cash territory in the lane closest to the screen how good these look two cars is often seen as a kind of feeder category under Prost of many of these races are located on the foot there are disabled one street nikasha leaves the traffic light number 53 has a couple of advantages of tents there and holds it in Windows 8 87 to 245 climbers in our Adrian Vella goes 841 to 253 was not enough that Fred Nicastro, your whistle here at the Summer Thunder Center Extreme Black Final now in New South Wales is Darren Foley the closest camera taking STS's Brandon gospel running in queensland these guys are crazy in these extreme fights without billy bars at more than 300 kilometers per hour it's head to head the first funny line wins the hole this time it's for brandon gospel and it looks like he's going to cross the finish line first he's going 736 314 sticks now you could see the will in the air for gospel there on the other side of the finish line 8:05 for foley runner up very spectacular bikes that's for sure as we move now to the pro radial finals this is the only class that we race in the 8 miles, besides Junior Dragster, but with wild machines that do not run with conventional slick tires, but rather small radial fleets run the 8 miles approximately 200 meters and here is our finalists Craig Burns and Joe Gao Qi, you're talking 3,000+ horsepower, small sidewalls on the slicks, trying to apply the horsepower now to the truck with the radio 5, that's where the magic happens, these are the real numbers, this weekend they are found in the final and it's a full drink I went to drink at Yahtzee a full one for the beats faster for one one one of the best races we've seen in the four hundred

thunder

series for great radial professional finals there from the sportsman categories now we are Back with the big boys in Peru, it's the third round Emilia Spinozzi for Hitoshi and the Tara civilian holds three batteries, the speed flow now, if the break can win here, I think he will still save enough points to leave the event in a good position. at the championship table, but I don't think just spinning oceans is going to be easy because they're pouring a lot into this gentleman. weekend and now they have some data.

I think they're ready to get back to that solid mark of five, well they're looking to make a run at five ATS. They are very happy with their start to the weekend in testing and afterwards. They damaged the engine on that last test pass and forced them to miss the first round of racing there in the second round of 6 iron, but they are looking to get back to the 580 try. Benny Brian looks to establish himself this weekend, he needs a to win here, he needs the championship points and also the ones he must try to save on the parts because it hasn't been a great weekend in part 4, a two-star victory.

Emilio doesn't have many points on the board thanks to this. weekend so far, so the big concern with Dre has been the differential area airing the plates every time he runs if the center gets rebuilt again and they haven't had time to really focus on the set-up aspect, just They had to get the car back in one piece because the focus has been on that differential and between rounds of racing they have been collecting the remaining part of the car, so the tuning side of things they haven't been able to dedicate to it happens. so much time in front. of the computers that they would have liked, hopefully, hopefully, have been taken care of here in the third round because it's going to be a tough race against Emilio Spinozzi.

Beautiful shots on board and Emilio has walked away, baby, right? Oh, you know, I would suggest that he probably hurts. different center again spinozzi at 609 381 will take the victory points and yes they are going to push Ben Bray back you have to think he went to the line hoping there would be a red light in the other lane he was trying to bluff Spinozzi knew that I wasn't going to start a fire, he tried to stop me because of a red light, it didn't happen. Spinoza gets a win here and today, with two months of three races, oh, it's actually a pretty good day to start.

In the end, in a small river at the break, there was a little bouncing when he pulled the parachute, but that was it. It's okay for the team, they get a win, yeah, check this out on board with Ben Gray, now try. to leave, he leaves, yeah, that's it, I can turn it off now, damn, there's no red light on the tree. Victor Bray would be the first time, it could be the last time, sometimes you just have to call the bluff, you know, there are as many of them as me. I've lost doing that, the plate is too dangerous to make a full roll, it broke, stubborn again on the last one, it was the fifth mark you made for the day, we don't know what's wrong with it, we have some suspicions about it. but there are no years, I mean, these things are dangerous enough to go out there.

I don't remember when Frankie Tyler was here, he decided to run on one and then he went out a little bit and the back end got blocked. and he was in a bit of trouble so we just didn't want to take that risk and we would never take it you know, so it was broken, it didn't go away anyway, you never know, I could have guessed it and it could have been worth it. but this time I didn't and good luck to him, he's a great runner and he deserves the points, okay, we're here with Amelia.

I guess we have to catch me real quick. Could you get some points? You will keep the championship going. Keep it up. rolling I mean we just got lucky, I mean we had a really bad first round, we got a guy in the second and I'm not sure what happened to Benny, but yeah, yeah, we'll take it I guess, how's it going? Okay, it's been the best, we're recovering, good luck, see you next round, we definitely know we're slow, but still, yeah, and of course, next round and we'll be at iBank Raceway, Good Friday for all. these guys and girls will be back the new girls here is the fastest female slammer driver in the country Michelle Davey is in a solo party or integrates 583 and round 2 against John Zappa but she left the dreaded cherien gift, you can see the great tribute at the front of the car to the team's volunteer firefighters, we thank Michelle Davies and Gareth Davies.

If you support that side of things, you can see Karen Allen on the bench guiding Michelle in, but the hand tells you that she is letting you know that she has a certain sternum going straight, you will actually say point it to the left or to the right if they want to move the car in the CX 2 slot just start with the straight pin, obviously very happy with the COS placed at the moment, you can't get a better presented cruiser up to coordinated sneakers on the starting line and really brings the presentation of this BND that complains about doing 595 390 kilometers per hour, so it's not as fast as before, but it's still a good way to end the Santos summer.

Trueno, your Sunoco repeat. see if on the other pedal you see the front pedal, they are still a good way to end the weekend with a 595, they probably wanted to get into the 570, but look at the positives. Australia's fastest and leanest driver PB is still a good end to a great weekend. If you heard her on the radio you would understand what a disappointment she was, yes she is a bit disciplined, she has to pedal twice and yes, that's what she said, I knew it was slow, we put a little on it and we bit a bit. a little bit and we try everything, what do you do?

I want you to turn back the clock two years, that's what I want you to do and think about what a 595 would mean. Your projection has been incredible this weekend. Oh, look, we're leaving. Here, as happy as anything, we were in three races below our PB by a tenth, you know, the work that all the bodies do is second to none. In my opinion, congratulations, there has been a great effort on the part of that thing that the ACDelco manaro, goodbye, score, the inter would take. in one of these one of these drag racing heroes in the game for McGary Phillips.

I'm not sure I'd take him. I'll give you two in a row. I don't think so either, although they will have this Studebaker tuned against Mark at Sherwood. on Sherwood, I would say it's probably the best lever on Crowe, leaner, when you talk about the reaction time side, things are very, very sharp on the tree, it's usually always sub Oh, beep, beep, Oh, 40, 30 and even occasionally lets loose a red light at 3, but that happens when you're cutting as close as he is, that will be one thing in Gary Phillips' mind, you can't be slow at all, besides my attention , with this diamond AC will never be on PBS this weekend or the 570.

Both cars are now moving forward, but honey, you see smoke coming out of what we call thecooking tank, which is where all the extra engine pressure is directed back to Gary Phillips, who runs for the speed flow of the alpine cool refrigerated transport and of course the women keep looking for him. main sponsor well, Derek puts it old school on this guy, he turns the button himself, uses the clutch, he puts his ribs up on the starting line himself, it's a little more of a driver's car when you look at Mikeandjill, he does it will do.

We'll leave the button aside with the transfer Gary Phillips didn't put it on the market or take it as a 575 being a 578 in a big drag race. Ten kids had the slide hole site and have never had it since. Oh 45 on the Phillips tree also with the 50 marks with those third 575 of the weekend, you have to be happy with this new cardigan that is performing very, very well any time you bet. Gary Phillips is a good day and I think that team. I have to be delighted, yes, really, at the end of the day, it's like the old clichés, just a big drag race.

Now these new cars have been fantastic, it's really starting to appear. We have Lee White in the US he is there at 3 in the morning a loud shout send him the data he gets up takes a look gives his opinion as it is a timing map and the cars have been fantastic congratulations I know it's not exactly the weekend you wanted but he's moving forward with that car now definitely definitely showing some promise good job mate thanks guys they think they take your breath away like nothing else. How do you sit at the starting line completely calm and get out of breath at five points where we race?

He didn't even stop him from talking, he's been talking the entire time he's been here, he hasn't been on camera? corrected by legend, come here, watch him as a kid, but then come here and compete against him. Absolutely amazing ACDelco pro seminar Febby Eddie Mars heavy Eddie Murphy Eddie like that I'll do backflips 2 out of 3 we'll take that I'll tell you what a big pit party it's going to be tonight oh yeah thank you so much for coming guys wait, it's a lot of energy, you could enjoy, this is the final, the largest hall names the golden number 400 under the Christmas tree. it will be for the winner of this showdown between Steven Ham on screen in the RDW Camaro John Zapier backing away from his long exhaustion in the Devaney hotshots manaro of Western Australia we are on board John is happy to have had the choice of Lane is making the right decision -hand Lane here, a Sydney Dragway that closes it out on the left side now Stephen Hem is actually on a bit of a streak, it's one of eight rounds of racing in a row he's looking for his round nine win here.John's Apia He has two moves in a row in the event, so he is looking for the triplet right now.

Some things here at stake, he has the championship lead and Zapier came into this event sixth in the championship so he will move up the table if he takes away maximum points here he is really going to regain some of that lead, yes he is going to set up a great second half of the pro slammer season, that's for sure. Steve Ham in the office making sure those gloves are exactly how he wants. I don't want to be late with that button when you start this car, you release the line lock that keeps the brakes on and they're under incredible pressure as they hit the gas and hold it on the brake, you release the button and hope you can do it. be ahead of John Zapier and then stay behind, you can see the ribs piling up on the gauges up here, star up there in the sky, take anything away from the Western guy 569,409 kilometers per hour ham with an exit 591 and it's John Zapier takes to the winner Sunoco repeat here John is a pious he even hit him problems he had to pedal the car they became a little more aggressive in this round of racing and he bit them this time both cars launched next to each other, can you look, the camera had to pedal John Zaffino he she had some problems in the braking area that when he threw the parachute it bounces we are on board with John shift lights appear his shifts to the highest speed pull the parachute here is your winner here in the summer of Santos Thunder, yes, Richards up here.

I will just echo the words of Mark Allen. Welcome back to the winning circle. Yes, he has been a long time coming. We lost our way a bit late last year and had about four meetings chasing a gremlin. a change made that kept getting stuck and once we found out we had made progress at each meeting so we are pretty much wrapped up in the cars going and John driving better all the time yeah we just can't wait for the next event there it is. congratulations, thanks Benny, thanks to everyone who did, here it is coming back, John is a beer buddy, the car looks like you found a good sweet spot for it, congratulations, winner of the pro slammer here at this event, thank you so much, awesome , yes, Dan's hotshots.

Manero has been flying everything. Over the weekend we went overboard on that, in one of the tests we had to figure out what was needed and basically put him back to where he was happy. The conditions are the worst, you know, hosting the wettest and hottest conditions I've run in for a while, so. I never really showed up for this kind of thing, but we just stay alone and crawl and, hey, I can't wait to see what this season brings us, that's right in the morning and the power people, lubes, speed flow, cheek pistons and rods muscle car warehouse crow cams who are your racing tires kept us on pace all day the car is gone the straightest it has come in in a while so it will make it to the team because I look very excited Thanks, good problem for John Zapier, he has so many sponsors he doesn't remember a wall he has to read them Steve Hamm remains at the top of the 400th place under the official merchandise scoreboard but John zapier moves from six per second Ben Braemar relative Emilio spinozzi take that little slide, it's going to be very exciting when we see them next time at the Santos super Thunder, it's Good Friday, April 10, we have the best bike jock, Fuel bro slammer, professional alcohol, all in a bonanza of one day, then back to Sydney Dragway for the golf chase and all nitro
