The car had only ever made 372rwkw on 30.5 psi. Only ever ran 130mph. The night the car ran 10.33 the car only ran 27 psi. The night we were at Calder together, where you had convertor issues and mine backfired in the burnout, due to coil failure and we packed it up early, the car was making 370 odd. I have two regrets: - Not having rods in that motor, because the car would have been pushed much harder, and - Never running a full pass with the cars full potential. Oh well, live and learn, and now time to move on to bigger and better things. When will you be at Heathcote next? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I see ur going down this weekend, with the new setup i presume? Yeh same with me, i wish my car had rods. will do soon enough, just waiting in line for jason atm, but once its got a bulletproof bottom end, will make a world of difference!
