Woodbridge is 1.66 miles so the same as Brunters, the current record was set there in 2005. Its maybe shorter but its safer you have scrub & not parked cars to hit .

cool, give it beans and then do a bit of grass-tracking after.

Where did you get your BW from? best price i can get for one is $599, but thats with a t6 rear end, they wanted $189 for a t4 rear, cant believe how cheap these are compared to garrett

Spoken to Pete today, still waiting on Painter to complete strutbrace.
It looks like it will be picked up next week & then it will hopefully get completed fairly quickly.
Have shown interest in the next Vmax & received an e-mail from a Photographer who wishes to cover my car during the day etc. & see what mag interest it generates. It may be a good event to set an off Nitrous record, although the Vmax record of 211 would then be out of reach, still need to get the car finished before i get too carried away .

If its complete it will be driven to Central Day but I have no desire to run the car down the strip then or ever. It will certainly not have been tested at Brunters by then so it will just be putting miles on the car for a Topspeed run later in the year.

Fair play mate, wasn't sure if you did 1/4 mile stuff as you did try drag radials before.

Let me know if you want to sell your drag wheels?

Hope you do go to show either way mate as will be cool to catch up again, been a few yrs since we last spoke, lol
