Only running the yoko a048r's i took some drag radials which was going to run toward end of day, but with so many oil spills today the track was really slow.. average about 1-2hrs between each run

Last run I ripped the cable of the gear box going into 3rd... need to look at this as i hear its happens frequently.. Rose jointed end would be ideal... any ideas???

Signal is POOTANG! up there... you didnt text me either though

Yes got video if this run, hopefully have it later tonight/tomorrow. Got in car footage.

It is for a Ford but still a long way off some others... but going the right direction!..

Prob will, should have the new box in for then, which hopefully will help.

Just the cable coming off box, cant get reverse either for some reason now.

You really need to sort your grip out. With that terminal speed you should be hitting 10s.
