Guest Guests Posted 01/12/08 07:09 AM Share Posted 01/12/08 07:09 AM It's only ~7 weeks away so not that long to build/tune such a monster Trough Lolly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As andrew said, it will be touch and go - but we are confident! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really frustrating for Andrew and us, but that the car game. I suppose our big debut will be Powercruise at the end of Feburary. The car will be ready well before then, so this will give andrew plenty of time to get used to it before taking it out on the track in anger!

Everyone knows who won last year, and what happened to Gus' panelvan, but who can tell me, without googling/looking, who won 6 cyl forced, 4cyl forced, and what was there final output numbers? No one I reckon, because nobody really cares about any other class besides 8 cyl F/I, or anything under 1500hp there. that's just the Summernats attitude, it sucks, but that's the way it goes.You are better off competing at the Powercruise and the local dyno days, you will have much more fun and the car will get the recognition it deserves.

I was upset that we couldn't meet the deadline for Andrew, but there is always that saying "maybe it wasn't ready for a higher reason"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
