Default Should i run the quad at Classic Ford show ?

Been thinking about doing this for a while, not sure how fast it will go down the old 1/4 mile but im interested to see what its capable of speed wise and holding onto it on the road with other traffic and plenty of bump steer can be a little twitchy to say the least lol.

Its running around 100 bhp at the back wheels and is geared to do 110 mph. My engine builder is keen to run higher comp with methanol or even just race fuel, stick the quick shift on and some unsileced drag pipes and hopefully make around 120 bhp and he is adament it will run 12's...........hmmmmm im so tempted to see how it runs in road spec first though.

Got a feeling ill be flat out by the 1/8 th mile mark or just after if i can get of the line well enough

What sort of reception do you think ill get at a Ford show ?

I would double check with Pod first mate to see if they will let you run. Been to a few duel days were Bikes do so many runs then Cars and so on but don't know how they would view your Quad.

Get someone to film it though if you do run
