Traction Action Racing. BDASS

Update after the first outing this season.

After a metric sh1t-ton of effort from a great team over the last few weeks I made it to comp 3 at Napa Autoparts Dragway at Meremere on Saturday.
This was to be a chance to get some shakedown runs in before the Street Car Shootout in February.
After having to rebuild the engine after it prematurely expired, rebuilding the transmission and a few other tweeks I needed to make sure we were all good for Feb.
We pulled a bunch of timing out of the hit for the day, just to make sure the car was going to behave nicely…… I didn’t want a repeat of sitting it on the rear bumper again….😁
After each run we checked the plugs and it all looks perfect.
On the first run there was a minor mishap.
While I was tidying up the engine bay late Friday I must have pulled a bit too hard on the trans breather tube to get it into the clip on the firewall, this ( as I found out on my first run ) pulled the tube out of its connector.
The result, although spectacular, was a very easy fix.
Fortunately only a small amount of trans fluid came out.
After it ran onto the exhaust it looked way worse than it really was.
Thankfully I didn’t mess up the track very much either.
Sorry for making a mess on your track Derek……😔

Very special thanks to:

There has been a bit of radio silence for the last few months.
Time for a wee update.
I broke my left foot back in September, thankfully that’s almost back to normal.
BDASS had an unshcheduled refresh but is now all back together and after a great session on the dyno is raring to go again with another 100 RWHP.
Special thanks to Reece and Dave FFR engines and machining, Terry at Paramount Performance, Mike at NXT LVL and Anthony and Yusuf.
All going well we should be at Meremere comp 3 on the 31st January.
