Sunday 9th July 2006, was our Top Doorslammer Debut and Robert Broadbent (my father) had his final drive (I think). The decision to test at the bracket meeting/testing session at WSID (Western Sydney International Dragway) was last minute, and there was a lot of hard work endured the week leading up to the Sunday test just to get there. We were very happy with the results in general although on the day the engine wasn’t running hot enough (lacking power). We had three runs and each run was better then the last.
- 300 ft under power ran ET – 8.80 sec (approx)Â
- 330 ft – 3.1 sec (3 to 4 tenths off pace)
- 60 ft – 1.13 sec
The car showed heaps of potential and we are looking forward to testing a lot more in the future.
Check out the photos from the day.
Stay tuned, on the 6th August I will be having my first ever drive in the Top Doorslammer drag car. I am both nervous and excited about the opportunity and have a lot to learn before I get my license and race. These cars have so much power and speed and I have waited and dreamed of this day all my life.
