That's all well and good but more importantly don't forget the balloons!  |

After the 1st full pass any issues will be long forgotten, the main thing is you're all but there with it. Wow, that thing sounds STRONG! Awesome car. |

Still either spinning the wheels or clutch slip in forth to sort and a better start away from the lights and I'd be hoping to knock at least a second off that eventually. Not a EBI though |

Nice one Joe. We wanted to come down for the Sunday but we were dog-sitting for a five-month old Husky so we couldn't make it. Glad you got stuff sorted. |

A few of us Outlaws were at Santa Pod this weekend, we'd been invited to the Mopar Nationals. I ran a new PB of 10.89. I think they enjoyed us being there and beating big old Yank tanks seems like a great sport! I'm sure Matt will have a report and pictures up soon at www.outlawflatfour.com oh and Richie ran another couple of nines and Mrs G went 12.60, I think a couple of others got new PB's well done all........ even the ones in small writing! lol |
