Todd Commons from the QMDRA ran a 1.27 pass in his Litespeed Electric Extreme Dragster making it the quickest pass in Australia.
We believe it to be the quickest outside the USA, so if anyone knows of a quicker pass put down, please let us know.


Regards
Ray

Overcast - threatening to rain all day. Hot and humid!

Lets say, less than perfect (way less)

Mark.

Not the fastest past out there and in fact Brendan has run 109 mph (176 kph) over here in his Extreme.
However, the 1.275 was quick. Todd also laid down some 1.3s and 1.4s so this will not be a 1 off. I'd say we might see the QMDRA record tumble to very low 1.3s at the next Extreme meet.
