Yeah apparently Tony couldn't put the foot down til well over 150kmh on that surface so on a proper prepped surface would be interesting to see how fast it could have got.

Sure is Jetsnot.

Had a good look at this in the queue at RW when the photographer was asking you about it, not bad dude (what an understatement). Glad I didn't have to race you hahaha. Would have been fun to get chopped by you anyway though and see it in action up close! I overheard the discussion about the lambo driver I think...where you asked him how his races had gone and he said he lost to "some bogan in a Falcon", hahaha. I'll agree I'd be spewing about not videoing it. I really wanted a video of that 360 Ferrari falling behind my own taxi but not to be. At least you got to race one of the exotics! Great weekend and great build Leigh.

Sometimes you chop, sometimes you get chopped, it's the circle of life hahaha. See you next year! Or feel free to come cruising with us in WA section if you like too.

Well Figured since I got the car to go fast, it was time to think about some safety things, like maybe being able to stop. Because at racewars the single piston factory brakes were literally only just cutting the mustard and stopping me before the end of the runway lol.

So I went and got 6 Piston Wilwood Calipers with 2 Piece DBA 5000 330mm Slotted Rotors made to suit in e series offset. The rusty one is a 297mm for comparison.
