It clearly states that all fluffy dice regardless of colour, MUST have their own harness attached to the windscreen once you break into the 11 sec barrier. Apparently there are well documented cases of fluffy dice mesmerising drives when running at full speed if allowed to swing freely in the breeze. So taking into the account that they may make an extra 10rwkw of power, surely with the added weight of the harness, the added benefits and coolness must be lost.I've heard on the sly, that the serious racers remove the wood cover from over the spare wheel just prior to racing. Just keep it on the low though mate, the last thing we need is for every muppet out there doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late night brookton hwy action, but then that's illegal and none of us like speeding!Steve the trick is to have just enough fuel to cover the 1/4 mile.That way, when you get towed back to the pits, you'll get mad street cred cause the crowd will think your car a) cant turn the corner at the end and b) it's just a super quiet top fueler that you built to hide your drug money.WAT!

Posted 03/10/09 10:06 AM Share Posted 03/10/09 10:06 AM I had plans to take it first week, then week after that then week after that(while weather is still cooler).but plans got ruined every single time due to overboosting of car, then trying to get it sorted out as quick as possible turned into the longest f*ck around of my life, 4 weeks wasted on external gate, another 2 in freight(stupid TNT noobs).I am hoping for a cool night, if it gets done by Tuesday I should be able to make Wednesday providing I get a helmet from somewhere if not I am going to XFT drag day.
