thank you very much people I take it as a big honour when people say things like they dont usually like them but mine is different I think people get the point that I just wanted to build a tough car ..... as for the competition some cars came with drag slicks and front runners and drums of race fuel some of us just came with the one set of tyres and filled up at the servo...in the drag the xy wasnt the fastest the torrie was over the 1/4 mile and I was over the 1/2 mile anyway hope you all enjoyed the show and if you want I can post up my site links to the whole series
