Can you post the slip? What was 60ft times?

Maybe it was a solo run, which usually comes up with a red in the vacant lane.

Congrats Chris, wish I was there man. Issues again. Awesome time, and you were right, 10's were next. :sm_headba

Pinkbits · 16-10-2006, 01:56 PM

Even though i've just got home from paying you a visit and there was no way that grin was coming off at all.
Well done Chris & Rachel and to all involved.

Mark351 · 16-10-2006, 02:51 PM

Awesome effort Chris, well done mate!

Racing today against a full lightweight (1400kg) blown LS1 from sydney, his best was a 10.77, if i could lose 300kg, 10.50's easy.

A very big Ford BOSS nail into the LS1 coffin today guys, and i repeated the run shortly thereafter, so the record is backed up.

I am very very excited.

well done a real 10 sec pass,no spool well done.

X ORSMXR · 16-10-2006, 08:57 PM

All l can say Chris and you know l have always said you are the man.

l can remember the first day we met when l came and showed you my car edited which was the second day it was released as mine was the 2nd car to be edited in Aust, and without even looking at the software your words were "l will get a Boss into the 10's and this was only 2 years ago this Jan.
What an achievement in such a small amount of time.

l take my hat off to you dude.
As well as a very good friend you are still yet the best tuner/racer for the Boss driven Falcons.

Now have a rest and enjoy the racing ie: watching......That was for Rachels Sake lol....

All l can say is l can't wait to take it down the strip....

**Whoosha** · 17-10-2006, 06:24 AM

great result for all your hard work Chriss lets hope a few other join in the fun

GT595 · 17-10-2006, 08:49 AM

DUDE........10s........:king:
Get a driver with "shoulders like a brownsnake" and you might shave a few tenths off........

:
We might have to redo that sticker on the rear with lightweight vinyl if you start going any faster, that might shave atleast .2 grams off....
Just think only - .931 off a 9.........I know you already are.....
well done man........

Sounds very exciting Chris, well done.

sfr rob · 17-10-2006, 10:22 AM

anyone got videos of the runs?

well done to Chris and the team.

**Bluepower** · 17-10-2006, 04:52 PM

Hey everyone, Thanks very much for all the kind words............

When i started racing these BA's, we had a lot on our plate from the Dark side. There is a thread on here somewhere with some dark side members having a laugh at a BA trying to run a 12......

Well they aren't laughing now :jab:

This shows people that its possible. I have dreamt about the first 12,11 and 10 sec pass. every niggle, every shot, every s h i t stir from the dark side has been an influential factor in pushing me along.

I think the racing future for Bluepower and the Ford scene is looking bright.

Thankyou to all of the AFF people who have constantly been friendly and social to us, we appreciate it and have a great time socially at the drag meets.

Thanks also for the constant encouragement (although i dont need much lol)

Thanks to my suppliers for the Fastest BA bits in OZ,

Aussie Car Enhancements
Difilippo Exhausts
Dominator Torque converters
Northern Diffs for the diff and auto
CAPA/SCT for the software
Dyno Dynamics for my ripper twin retarder digital dyno
Themboys for keeping the car schmick
ORSM FORD CRUISERS
Bluepower tuning and Airboxes

My master crew chief craig for setting up thexhaust and suspension, and SLY XR8 (no, he hasn't fallen off the planet) for the COUNTLESS hours he put in helping us with this achievement.

Needless to say, I'd be keeping an eye on ol' Sly XR8. I owe him a pretty big favour now for all the time he has helped me, and he wants to be repaid in kilowatts...............

MONSTER thankyou to AGRO (AAV superchargers) mate, we have made the most lethal street blower kit for a 5.4 in OZ, time to break out the Big whipple.

9's? dont laugh. GAME ON

Thought Id just mention that...

Craig · 17-10-2006, 05:27 PM

Weight is the issue here dude........

MYWPN · 17-10-2006, 07:46 PM

Change your sig Mate.
And it was the 260 you did this with wasn't it Dude?
Hmmm It has only been about 2years since you started playing with these Boss motors and You have gone from 14 all the way down to 10's in such a short time is ABSOLUTLY INCREDIBLE!!!!

Just goes to show if anyone wants a Quick Ford then they can't go wrong jumping on board the Bluepower Team! Runs are on the board and will just keep getting better and better.

:

Bring it on!

troppo · 17-10-2006, 08:33 PM

Congrats Chris and Craig. I think it was really only a matter of time, as is 9's......

Bren260 · 17-10-2006, 09:11 PM

well done dude it was always on the cards, craigs time is now a bit too close for comfort, well done to both you guys, and for the effort you have put in to get the boss to run these numbers

xr8ute · 17-10-2006, 11:17 PM

Wow, didn't notice this thread earlier. 10.xx is a very nice number.

Congratulations Chris!!!

Your commitment, hardwork, and exceptional results are inspiring...thankyou

xr8gn3 · 18-10-2006, 12:15 AM

Well done Chris and Craig and to all else involved....it's an awesome achievement....you continue to make us Ford Fans very happy.

Tri Power 289 · 18-10-2006, 12:56 AM

Chris, what you have managed to achieve with that thing is awesome.

I was lucky enough to be running in the other lane when you first put the blower on and man, was that thing Wild!!!
I think everyone knew it was only a matter of time before you did it.

Do you think you'll have a crack at running 10s N/A anytime soon?

P.S. as Rich said, I think its time you updated your Sig. :king:

qwigybo · 18-10-2006, 07:14 AM

verry well done chris, would've ben fantastic to have seen all the records set in the blue beast, but for a xr8 ute with 230xxx km's on the clock to come off the bench and crack a 10 is brilliant.
looks like i'm gonna have to send the T down soon, i'll race you to a 9 hah
