Chris,

I'm going to beat you to it...

SCOTT KALITTA 4.517 (I think it was with a 7) @ 332. (Did not hear) MPH!!!

Oh yeah and it wasn't running on all eight, least that's what was said over the p.a on the audiocast. 40s tomorrow? Probably going to happen.

Well I'm glad all my fellow Aussies back home are getting treated to some awesome racing.

Congrats to everyone down there.

That was a great pass by Read! We'll see if Scotty can pick it up in that "rental car" next session.

I can't take credit for filming, but I will for finding it haha!

They're on 90/91% Over there, isn't it nice hearing that cackle

It's cool when the scoreboard flashes from MPH to KMH. 535KMH sure does sound impressive!!!

 

[Just Paul]

GREAT runs!!!!! The track must have been in good shape!

YYYYEEEAAAAAHH Buddy! Very neat to win this 2 years in a row; much less even get the chance to do it at all. I know Scott is thrilled. Looks like this is going to be a Christmas tradition for team Kalitta. Another tip o' the hat to the amazing Jim Oberhofer..... remember, this was not his car or his parts or his tools. But they guys still got 'er done.

OK, enough of the long skinny cars....it's time to get that Toyota shined up & ready to bust some heads!!!!!!

I'd also like to congratulate Terry Sainty for taking out both Grubnic and Read and making it to the final in his bucks down fully home grown machine.

Shame that I couldn't be there...for a second year running
