Amazing effort, I'd love to see a detailed build of what was required to achieve such a great result in such a heavy car. But like all leading drag cars there are always secrets.

Many aero mods? Much weight reduction yet? Basic motor specs?

Great stuff Phil and team, look forward to the pics

Was the wheelie sphincter puckering ? cause mine did at the thought

Thanks Buffy. I can tell ya I felt the same way just thinking about it, but the truth is it wasnt too bad. You are strapped in real tight and there is no movement in the seat so you really just go with the car. I could tell the wheels came up cos I felt it when they landed, but it all happens really fast. Having said that, I will wait for the pics, cos they might not have come up that far. :innocent:

There is a thread or two about the car which has some of the basic specs, but you are right, we need to have a few secrets. We have taken a little weight out, with the interior and some of the dash wiring, and now the sunroof, but we could take out a heap more and will look to do so over time now. No real aero mods. The car has a BF GT body kit including rear wing.

How's the sunroof holding up! ha ha

Awesome effort dude and boost on!

Yeah - the car made a trip to see Backyarder and Ante at SpeedFab in Sydney to try and fix up the roof. They pulled the whole thing out and put a new tin roof on. Looks the goods and worked unreal, so n more sunroof problems! :beerchug:

Well done mate

Great effort by your crew to

Yeah true that!

A big thanks to Dom, Scotty and Nelson for getting me running and coaching me through getting the car down the track. The guys were pumped for me and I was glad I could do some justice to the work that everyone has put into the car. Its a big effort and not very often as rewarding as the last 6 months have been.
