Robin Judd 1959 Studebaker - 6.01 second drag race

Video Title :	Robin Judd 1959 Studebaker - 6.01 second drag race
Description :	Robin Judd and his hard working crew achieved their personal best time at the Perth Motorplex this afternoon when they ran a great 6.01 second personal best ET over the ¼ mile reaching 240.00 mph (386 kmh). Judd's popular 1959 Studebaker literally catapulted from one end of the racetrack to the other on the pass, and it is a credit to him and his team for all of their dedicated work, late nights, and hard efforts to achieve the result. Judd has become a serious threat and competitor in the popular Australian Top Doorslammer bracket for many years now, and has eliminated some of the biggest players in the game with his Studebaker. The car is powered by a 511 cubic inch Keith Black engine and produces around 3500 horsepower, and today at the Perth Motorplex, everything just came together for the team making the "perfect run". The clutch settings were 100%, the fuel and ignition tune-ups were perfect, and the correct suspension settings helped everything to just come together to help the car to "squat", and perform to its best pass ever. Judd ran 1.028 seconds to the 60 ft timers, 2.67 to the 330 ft, 3.971 to the 660 ft half-track at 190.85 mph (307 kmh), and 5.076 to the 1000 ft mark, before finally stopping the quarter mile timers in 6.015 seconds. Judd receives support from William Buck Chartered Accountants, Melville Panel and Paint, Myaree Trimmers, Applied Automotives, Genie Exhausts, Automotive Sports Engineering, Westnet, WA Diffs, Stripemaster, Australian Drag Racing Magazine and Crane Cams. Judd would also like to thank his hard working crew and Crew Chief Lee Brailsford, James and Stuart Rowland, Eric and Frank Gauderi, Andrew Fowler, Les Davenport, his reverse gear, his family, the race-fans for their continued support, and the Perth Motorplex.
