WOOLLETT ON-EDGE FOR TOYO TYRES MINI-JAM

Willowbank Raceway's test and tune on Saturday the 17th of Feb saw some of the best Street All Wheel Drive testing we have seen yet. Theo Woollett Racing were out testing in the lead-up to the TOYO TYRES MINI-JAM which will be held at Willowbank Raceway on the 31st of March as Round 3 of the 2006/2007 Sports Compact Group Drag Racing Series.

Speaking with Theo on Saturday night, he explained that since the National Open at Willowbank in early January where they set a blistering time 8.95 sec, they have been struggling with the delivery of the power to the track.

The main problem we’ve been experiencing was leaving the start line. We either had too much power or not enough! With the fast thinking of Steve and the boys from Direct Clutch they made some very minor adjustments to the clutch which allowed us to put down some of the most consistent and quickest passes we’ve seen in the Street All Wheel Drive class yet” commented Woollett.

Not only did the ON-EDGE Nissan Skyline GT-R put some very impressive passes down with ET’s of 9.01, 9.05, 9.06, 9.09 and 9.11, they also belted out a couple of 160.43 mph trap speeds in the process. With the newly found bracket racing consistence, the team are in good stead for the Street All Wheel Driveclass which is run on a DYO (Dial Your Own) format. After talking with Rob Stafford of Garrett Turbochargers during the week the team will be turning up the boost for the TOYO TYRES MINI-JAM. Along with competing in the HKS by PWA sponsored Street AWD class, the team hopes to take the number 1 spot for radial tyred GT-R’s away from long time friend and competitor Keir Wilson who currently holds the record with an 8.89 @ 160.86mph.

I’d say with what we saw on the weekend the Theo Woollett Racing team are well on their way to achieving their goal. To keep up to date with Theo Woollett Racing checkout www.theowoollett.com.au
