As you say, we got better and better almost every run.... another 50 runs and I would have had it nailed
When i got home i wished I had turned to boost back up to see what it could really do but that can wait for part 2 of the grudge match

Yours sounds ace on the video btw

you'll have to wait for the mag rob :P

Lewis's times are more interesting anyway

I'll probably go on the 18th, depends who else is going but sounds like it could be good. Dunno if i'll run mine at the moment, ragging it once a year is enough for me

Are you guys allowed to run any traction compound? I don't want to sound like a dick but 500HP RWD cars should be running 10's not 13's. My XR with 250HP ran 13.01 on street tires two weeks ago. What sort of 60ft times are you guys running?

With 280hp my car ran 12.3's so whats impressive with a 13.0???

my 60fts are 1.60's

And yes 500hp cars should run 10's and kev's escort does along with a few others
