I'm not very much into drag racing but here in Poland on normal concrete runway of an airfield about 650HP Audi S4 did ~10 and your car is much lighter, schould have NO problems on strip.
But I can understand you - and I wouldn't be dragg racind either even if I had THEFASTEST Cossie in the world. That's just stupid competition in straight line...

Karl,
I would certainly like to see both cars at the qualifying to see what they are all about (as well as yours, but I suppose Phil has more chance of growing balls
) 
. If they are putting in suitable "wow factor" times, then I'm sure I could persaude Chris to allow them in somehow .
The whole idea is to get some shit-hot cars there to entice more spectators, so if you can prove they have the walk to back up the talk, we can go from there .

Ok cheers Mike. Sorry if its posted somewhere else but do you have a date for the qualifying?
If we're not running the sunbeam at qualifying then I could run my car if you'd like to see some times, but I won't be running it at TOTB if it did qualify.

Lee,
Yes, but I wouldn't mind if you were careful to preserve the 'box
, I just want you there . What you chose to do when the red mist dtakes over is your choice .
Rod,
I would love to see you there and showing a 200mph run to the rest of the world. If there is anything I can say to sweet talk you, let me know .

I must admit I am actually getting quite excited now
Will be a laff whatever....Karl has already said he will help out in prepping and remapping the car
We will have all the Zoo boys there as well and I am sure I can rely as always on the MSD boys to lend a hand if needed Bernie has just quoted on a gearbox rebuild and a few uprated bits and bobs.....
Martin and Karl have a few ideas and we can easily find another 50bhp...
We could be in business here

Chip, there is a long way to go yet.... we ALWAYS talk a good game on here
Although I've never wanted to do it before... and now I do!
Just driven back from meeting Sean and all I have thought about on the way home was how the hell we are going to make the car faster!

to add, very little queuing on the rwyb days, you will get as many runs as you want in during the day! 
i think we have both the Top Secret Drag R skyline and the Jun Lemon coming on the first test day in march.
