yeah someone with a "242bhp mate" s1 was running consistant 16 second quarters! alex chatterbox zvh was in the low 14s but with a high terminal of 108 that i saw. spadge was having mega problems launching and gettin traction,his best i saw was 13.6,although someone else got in and got a 13.2 in his motor! his terminals were circa 110mph. rad took his mini up and was running the 21 second mark brilliant! it was bloody hot though,i am doin a lobster impression here at the mo! oh,and jim galbally ran a 15.2 at 93mph i think,gettin better,but he let EVERYONE go up the strip in his motor,me,yum,cossierich,he just wanted to see it go!lovely sounding motorcar

and craig n blew his quaife on the first launch! eventually got it off and swapped it for a standard diff to get home on, the input shaft had snapped and the prop shaft was just spinning itself! but when we tried spinning the diff,only one side would turn,the other wouldnt budge! dunno about ATBs but that cant be right can it? normal diff both spin together.
