PAC Performance's MX6 back into retirement

After a horrible few months of torrential rains and unpredictable weather, everyone was anxious leading up to the Sydney Jamboree at Sydney Dragway. With over 160 cars entered for the one day event, it was going to be a jam packed day of racing and the competition was going to be tough.

The Sydney Jamboree was the first of four rounds for the new headlining class, Factory Xtreme. With the competition heating up at the top level the team knew they had to give it all they had in the MX6. But the old girl didn't like the extra power and proved to be a handful for George Rehayem. Qualifier 1 saw the MX6 run a 7.02@182mph, tyre shaking half way down the track. Second run was a wild ride when the MX6 took off, shook and turned, throwing George around in the car. With the car not liking the extra power, Rocky had no choice but to take some power out just to make it drivable and get the car down the track, the car managed a 6.91@183mph. The team knew with these times that it would not cut it against the rest of the field, but George still managed to put on a show with his usual half track burnouts for the crowd.

The trusty MX6 has done her fair share of work for the team and has been an ever faithful warrior, she has been an integral part of the development of the race team, but over the last few months it has become more apparent she cannot withstand the amount of power the boys are throwing at her. The team has now decided to put the MX6 back into retirement and will not be racing it at this competitive level again. They will now concentrate on building the new car so they can pick up where they left off nearly 12 months ago.
