Title: Re: 8.3 for Richie Post by: dannyboy on April 18, 2014, 16:51:21 pm brcket racing is shit anyway.. go richie its only 4 tenths away from a 7 easy peasey :D
Title: Re: 8.3 for Richie Post by: Russell on April 18, 2014, 18:41:12 pm Hoping to run in next 30mins so stay tuned... we want this backed up if we can so its 100% official, however a 8.35 first run out of trailer for 2014 will do for us anyway. It great to see the time and effort paying off, I'm sure Richie will do the thank yours but until then keep that foot pressed right down....... after all its been a long quite winter..... ;D
BTW... Bracket racing... PETE expected to see you with the motor bikes with that gearbox of yours.... Title: Re: 8.3 for Richie Post by: Liou on April 18, 2014, 18:54:32 pm respect my friend ;)
Title: Re: 8.3 for Richie Post by: Typ3racing on April 18, 2014, 19:03:31 pm Such a sh*t bracket racer not got a f*cking clue! So he doesnt have a clue? 0.05 to index now. :o :o :o :o :o 8,905! Title: Re: 8.3 for Richie Post by: Jo Clifford on April 18, 2014, 19:17:32 pm Such a sh*t bracket racer not got a f*cking clue! You were saying? ;D Number 1 qualifier, read what they wrote on eurodragster on the feed, I think they were a little surprised as well ;) Title: Re: 8.3 for Richie Post by: dannyboy on April 18, 2014, 19:27:37 pm lmao

Title: Re: 8.3 for Richie Post by: Andy Sykes on April 18, 2014, 21:10:51 pm Who cares about bracket racing so boring I want to see Richie running the fastest flat 4 rear engined vw in the world. And I think we are going to see it very very soon awesome work :)
Title: Re: 8.3 for Richie Post by: Peter Shattock on April 18, 2014, 22:05:25 pm Ahm..Bloody typical!
low et and number one qualifier in two runs, whatever next...... Title: Re: 8.3 for Richie Post by: leec on April 18, 2014, 22:05:52 pm Well done Richie and team ;D
Title: Re: 8.3 for Richie Post by: Neil Davies on April 19, 2014, 00:11:05 am Amazing runs, and plenty more left in it from the sound of it! As for bracket racing, it does have it's place, as do fixed index and heads up. Richie simply picks the class that will allow him to go as quick as he can.

You were saying? ;D Number 1 qualifier, read what they wrote on eurodragster on the feed, I think they were a little surprised as well ;) Video footage uploaded anywhere ? missed the live feed :-[ well done all Hi Ron I videod both passes but haven't got a good enough connection to upload them from here, so I will do it when we get back home tomorrow We are supposed to run around midday today and will try to back up yesterdays run if the track is warm enough, it was just too cold when we ran 2nd pass and had lots of tyrespin even in 4th gear :o. Jo Title: Re: 8.3 for Richie Post by: Jo Clifford on April 19, 2014, 15:27:57 pm 1st pass today and it was like the old car, bug wheelie in 1st gear, back down and even bigger in 2nd, it bent the wheelie bar center bar like a banana, been out and made a new one, cut the ends out of the old one and welded into a new thicker bar,all ready to go again now.
