Con Gatzias/Alf Sciacca re-debut Torana

May 03

After a stressfull couple of months of trying to license his car, Con Gatzias with Alf Sciacca driving managed to get the first part of the cars re-licensing completed at the test and tune last weekend. After 2 previous attempts (the first when electrical gremlins halted proceedings, the second when calliper failure, then rain finished the day), Alf managed to get in two passes. The first pass was a little untidy after an oil fitting came loose and misted the tyres; the second made all concerned much happier when a soft launch in the low 1.30's, turned into a straight and true 8.00 @ 171mph. The clutch settings were very conservative and the Brett Gillespie built engine tune very 'fat'. All concerned look forward to impressive performances from the car at this weeks Nitro Champs.
