in malta they dont have a circuit only the dragstrip so they all concentrate on building their cars for the strip only. a lot of them come in on the back of pug 405/escort van/std focus with little trailers....carrying 20/30k of drag car.they run jericho boxes and air shifters etc
theres a couple of focus drag cars that were quick with zetec turbo and they all have really good gear on them...no cutting corners on engines thats for sure.
over here MOST people try to do a car for track and strip and for road use aswell not just drag only....thats the difference.

rogers garage has a 9 sec evo that i got a look at....looks std..ish until you lift the bonnet!!!

Cossie was mental quick but did anyone catch the car that was running alongside? Looked like a Teg to me and sounded the nuts!! That must've been a 10-11sec quarter it ran?
