cheers dean Title: Re: Worlds first pan 8 second run Post by: javabug on June 06, 2010, 02:40:29 am Didn't they run an 8.xx at the end of last year? Perhaps it was a dream? Congrats regardless!
I've seen some vids of that green Willys pickup already...kinda wild!

I've seen some vids of that green Willys pickup already...kinda wild! They did run a 8.6x something in Sweden last year but never really trusted the timeslip. On my way up to the track now and the weather is very nice. It will be hot (Norwegian hot, not California hot) during the day but right now the temp is just perfect. They will get 1 more qualifying run before the eliminations starts today. Best rgs BB Title: Re: Worlds first pan 8 second run Post by: Martin Greaves on June 06, 2010, 07:46:49 am ;D

Perhaps in the same picture, to the right... a true wartime Jeep! The pickup model was introduced in 1947... :P Title: Re: Worlds first pan 8 second run Post by: BeetleBug on June 06, 2010, 12:47:20 pm 8.71 - 261 Kmh - 1.256 60ft and break out on a 8.75.

The conditions at Gardermoen is perfect now, dray weather for a few weeks, nice temp at 20-25 degrees Celsius, lots of fresh rubber at the track from pro-mods and door slammers with the sun and Trackbite keeping it really sticky ;) Title: Re: Worlds first pan 8 second run Post by: Jo Clifford on June 06, 2010, 14:19:17 pm 8.71 - 261 Kmh - 1.256 60ft and break out on a 8.75. :o Title: Re: Worlds first pan 8 second run Post by: Airspeed on June 06, 2010, 18:18:05 pm Holy Moly!! 8.71 :o and I heard he drove the car 75 km home again!

“Thank you for all the positive replies! I am really happy with this weekends result still using the H-pattern shift and pump gas (E85). I think I’m on the borderline of what the stock G50 tranny will hold… There is still some fine tuning to do. Power shifting has been tested on the street, but not on the dragstrip, so time will show. I have to take a talk with the driver if he wants some more boost.

I agree with the last poster though: The boost question would be academic for most of us drivers haha!
