Seen CYC06T out there on Wednesday. Should run an 8 soon. Wheel tubs looked normal, with 10.5 slicks jammed under there. Well done.

I wouldn't say heavy. It only had a drivers seat in it, which I think was tin.

Id like to see 4100lbs on the scales, seems a bit excessive. I know my car shows around 3800lbs still running IRS. Top effort regardless though.

Hey all, The car is mine and Dom, Tony and I pretty happy with this first hit-out since the 4-link went in. Car has interior removed but thats pretty much it. We should be out again soon, after a few little changes. On a good track it should be interesting. Watch this space, Phil

Otherwise everything else is still stock.

We have a few more tweaks instore before Jambo, so lets hope we can improve a bit and take the top spot for a while. After a bit more weight reduction later in the year we may even be able to get it into the low 8's......you never know

The green BA hasn't been a G-Tech car for about 8 months, and to catch it you'll need to run quicker than 8.63@163mph, that's the fastest the car has gone so far, and with full interior.... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
