your car cant be slower than the top fueler that did a 82 second 1/4 run.
it still won the race aswell!

If anyone does break their car, I live 3 miles away and have a garage which they can stick it in to save a massive bill getting it home (Iain M ), then collect it when they've sorted a cheap way

i'll be there and may be taking a run in my 12v....
i doubt anything will break. Ask Ash about my worries at the W Mids meet. i was scared of looking (ok being) slow and clocking a woeful time.

I wonder what my time in my SRi will be down the strip, and hopefully it will be Diamond Black, lowered and some nice Speedline allies on it.
