Default Norris Designs Evo does a 9.7 qtr today!

Just got back from japfest ,what a day plenty of big hitters there But car of the day has to be Simon Norris and his evo 9 who managed to do a 9.7 and a 9.8 qtr with the highest terminal of 148mph

Think this is the first european evo to do a 9 So well done Simon

Most impressive out of that lot are the scooby's IMO, awesome for them to run 9's!

Must be serious power and transmission there running!

Danny,did you take a close look at the cage in the evo today?

I have to say that I think stevie wonder must have welded it with a stick

welder

Can't take away from the performance though,spoke to simon and he

reckoned he was only running 2.00,60 fts

124@ the 1/8th,145@ the 1/4

great show though,considering the car had only done 1 mile before the

1st run

Amazing car, however what is more amazing is the fact a car with that spec and money thrown at it is running times circa Treetop, Andy Forresters Impreza STi with way less money/spec
