That was the first run and believe me it was a tad scary!..
The car NEVER pulls or torque steers up the strip, it was damp/wet still.

How can almost 100 people have viewed this thread, yet only half a dozen have commented?? That car is bonkers and as I've said before, a real credit to you.

I remember seeing that run and thinking the track might still be slippery then!
To be fair, the right hand lane was a LOT better, especially as the day went on.
Still looks cool as fuck!

Love how the steering wheel boss cover thing lifts on boost, and the 'we need a new clutch'. One of my favourite fords this
