I know many people have been following this car from since day 1 and just wanted to let everyone know and congratulate Steve for running a string of passes, the best a 9.7 in his twin turbo monster at heathcote yesterday. He is still coming to grips of this machine and when you see the video (fullboost was taking footage) you can agree that this comes on very hard after a sluggish takeoff. It can only get quicker dude http://rajabracing.com.au/steve%20dyno%20tune.html Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i heard about this from a mate who was there apparently very loud engine and apparently wasnt taking off hard it kept bogging then taking off at about 100-150 metre mark and looked to do these times easy as. whens it racing again wouldn't mind seeing and hearing this race in person.

Chopper was just using them when he was racing his old BT1 which is now owned by Junior. He will be racing too very soon, looks like they are all coming back out to play again Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Can't wait to see this thing perform.. good to see it back out. When can we expect it next/?? PS I just realised the only specific engine parts that spec thing there actually lists is the ecu, gates & inlet manifold lol.. which everyone can see anyway
