Luck doesn't come into it, it's all down to preparation, and I think you have that covered
.
Fingers crossed regarding wind direction though
.
The Lotus has more NOS on it than Rod's car, so expect a big explosion before the end of the run

Is it Trev who is gassing the Lotus for them?
If so, it might be more of a contender than people realise!

In standard form the lotus has more top end speed and better aerodynamics, but Sierra should come good.
Good luck Rod, and mind them wheels...well the rears anyway, I can replace the fronts
