Sean Mullins built the car and the body is a 2000 Pontiac Firebird. The injection is all enderle and flowed for approx 2100-2200hp at this tune.John will run in supercharged outlaws and AA/FC for the first season and then in Top Alcohol next year.They have a new spare Carbon Fibre Body and a BAE -5 sitting in the shed for next year when they decide to step it up. John says he is really looking forward to having a local track again so they can compete with interstate teams that have the convenience of testing at their local tracks without towing 10+ hours just to try a new setup. Johns Sponsors are : Bannockburn Panels Geelong Soda Workz Winter and Taylor Motor Group La Bella Rooster Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49143-funny-car-to-test-calder-park-re-opening-7th-sep/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you're not another person taking the piss at the Territory running. Gate lady "Just spectating mate?", "no I'm running", "hahaha, good one, that'll be one spectator"Scrutineer walks passed to the blokes behind who point back at me. He walks back and says "sorry mate, I thought you were the tow car for the guys behind."My car isn't funny, is it....

We'll be in the 12's (bloody should be) as soon as Calder opens back up, so it'll be more of a laugh.
