times were getting lower and lower as the day went on, but there was diesel on the 1/4mile, took ages for me to do 3 runs, got bored hanging around.

so a 15.688 aint to bad with shed loads of wheel spin and a fucked gear box IMO

before the tb's i was getting

my speed over the line has gone up a fair bit, shows the car is faster ,just need to get the power down better and get my gear changes sorted.... vids up soon!

plenty of cars getting slow times due to the slippy ness....

yes i did get beaten by the rallye.... however, if you read the post you shall see that i have problems with my gear box.... i.e. its shagged really.

when i get it sorted and manage to work out that i need to stop wheelspinning ill hammer them.

can beat them on the road with ease really, just nbot a good day. lots of hanging round due to cleaning the track every twenty mins, and then a dragster fell over.

ye but should it?
Its been built for track stuff not 1/4 miling, am i right? A lot of bhp an not loads of torque means its awsome on track but not so much on the 1/4.

Am i right?

Am i right?

no, loads of torque will mean more wheel spinning, so worse on 1/4 mile

yes it should. im not a 1/4 mile person really, prefer corners, 1/4 mile aint my bag, takes me a while ot get into it, someone who knows what they are doing will be able to set nice times easily!

you are right it is more of a track toy tho.

matt, quaife gear set and atb
