http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hQA5Nmmrfw Check out the roller coaster yellow line on the track right at the end No wonder we were getting surges of wheelspin. We turned the boost down, ran slightly slower ET but quite a bit more mph. Rob Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Would have been good to see this setup out of the Rail and into a Yank Chassis. When i picture rails i picture V8's lol this image brings a smile to my face.

It sounds so awesome and yeah Meremere is real bumpy mainly due to building the track on reclaimed swamp land !

Were getting to 1/2 track in 4.80 @ 145mph with old crap tyres and around 3/4 power, I think we'd need to see 160ish at 1/2 track before we have a chance at 200mph. Safety first and we'll just have to see how it goes. Rob Quote: Originally Posted by ANK What does it weight ?? 2050lb, about 600lb over weight for the class.

Not having a stab was just curious, hope you get there, will give others hope that it is possible to hit such speeds. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

awesome work rob it looks like its so unstable because of the lack of top fuel type wings it should stabilize with some fitted front and rear. bring on the first rb30 6 sec pass.
