Default Top Ten 1/4 Mile YB Cosworths....

After reading the other thread about top speed, I decided to see what was the top ten 1/4 mile times. Anyone ever done 9 seconds?

JT went 9.40s in a yb powered 105e anglia,he then went 7.80s with the engine in a probe.

Wayne Saunders is the fastest guy in the uk with a 7.6 i think i know he car went 7.40s in the states,but that was with a BDT.That was in the probe then the focus.

Theres Gino who drives a mk1 escort that has run mid to low 9s yb powered too.

All these car are tube chassis cars tho.
