Thanks guys, I took it to Heathcote 2 weeks after the 9.82 and it ran 2 more 9.82's at 139mph.I might go back to Calder soon,but this time I have to put a parachute on it (so much for it being a street car!!) Here's a pic from the last Heathcote meeting and the video from it too. Regards, Darren Click here to watch heathcote_4_12_05__9_82_139 (http://media.putfile.com/heathcote_4_12_05__9_82_139)(3.18mb) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
