There was also a twin Turbo Corvette run in the UK just before xmas - made 1875 bhp at the rear wheels..... shame theres no video of that !!

I'd love to see a similar event run here in the UK, all the highest power cars run at the same time !!

Bit like TOTB but alll about the power !!

Dyno Dynamics are the Daddy, seen a demo, and the 2WD will fit in a van.

It doesnt go back into the grid.

Eddy Currents (antiphase feedback) to brake itself - Minimal power losses....

Some big figures there !

The Holden at the end didn't even sound like it was working hard and it made over 1000rwhp

Can someone explain what the difference between and brake roller and inertia roller is please

I've been told NOT to run cars with nitrous on brake rollers, I presume due to the way they put the load on ?

We did want to run a friends Corvette on Street Racers rollers but looking into their setup I think, (although it was very new) it was a brake roller.

Some good info on this would be good as I know fook all about them.

I have heard Steve Greenald (track and race) has a new setup (single roller) which is supposed to be amazing, but again its what I've been told so no idea if that setup is a good one or not
