Well done to Frank and Lou @ Dandy Engines... took out number 1 spot in radial outlaw the other day. Broke the record with a 7.57 and then a 7.3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj4Pc1O-vRY They also ran 8.1 @ 175mph in a customers street registered full weight XW, making it Australias fastest stock suspension falcon.

Dandy Engines did build this engine in conjunction with Proline. Steve Petty is the tuner and gets flown over from the US to tune it.

On my laptop, also sh1t. I dont know how to do anything more than mount, and turn the cmeras on. I do how ever have one from under the car, and I have been informed the rear brakes glow at some stage in the vid.

Like one from the start line of a drag race, then watch it disappear into the distance with no action what so ever, and you only know its over cause they pause the vid and lay the times over the top because its such shoddy work you cant see the time boards? Something like that be better? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
