Fingers crossed for you that he fluffs the start 
. Don't forget that as the "undedog", there is absolutely no pressure on you, but remember that all he will be thinking is "I can't be beat by a Taxi" 
, which will mean LOADS of pressure on him not to fuck it up, which "could" mean he does . Hopefully Mick will read this comment and that will put even more pressure on him

Never actually said that about totb just another myth, infact if it was 1.25miles I believe I could win it. However its over 1k & at that distance im still putting my seat belts on
.It aint cheap to get a car to the startline at any event & my car is totally unsuited for totb.
Remember ive not chosen to face the Super Lemon, ive been asked by my Sponsor to be there, im sure this wont be the last such race.

Honestly dont know who will win, Micks car is ridiculously fast, but so is Rods.
As Rod has tons of Nitrous and Mick doesnt run any, I reckon that may give Rod the edge.
Honestly dont know with this one. Gonna be good though.
It was slow as shit back then compared to how it is now.
Its miles faster than it was under all previous owners, inc JUN who built it originally!

So what is the deal with the lemons power as I see 1150fly quoted but I linked you to the new engine spec chat? What is Mick/Perfect touch saying, I know Mick is not usually quiet to say the least? 
Should be a hell of a demo, good luck on having the car there in A1 prep as then you have a good chance on terminal speed. ET will be a bit tricky with a RWD saff and a gazzilion hp though, Mick is not scared of a launch from vids i have watched!

I guess you are only getting one go at this race? IE not multiple line ups.
Expect from a spectators point of view the start line will not represent the real race. He will shoot off into the distance and your car will be looking quite a bit slower. The real race will be later on down the track!!

Fair point chip - i remember back to TOTB days and the left hand lane went for the top speed and the right hand lane had to stop after the quarter mile.
What are the rules of the competition for everyone else that isn't a "special runner" like in the Lemon & rod's cars case?
Is the winner the quickest to complete the mile or the fastest at the mile?
Cheers
