slicks dont interest me. i race it like i drive it to work. probably why it isnt all that fast on the 1/4 mile compared to others.

Still a long way from Andy Nicholls in the FWD world, but he is certainly doing vauxhall proud.
He still couldn't beat sut though at TOTB

Doesn't matter what the conditions were, first car over the line won!!
He obviously could see it was wet, why didn't he cap his power for greater grip? Was the same for both cars!!
