    It was my pleasure to use such a great car on the poster, Jamie. I'm glad you liked how it came out.

    Just a lilte update, been out testing at Santa Pod this weekend and although not the perfect place to test due to it being a 1/4 mile of sticky rubber not a lake bed/beach/salt flat the tank still managed to clock just over a 100mph at the 1/4 mile and felt like it still had some leg room to go on a longer course....we'll see in september.

    The FED is the Charles Bang dragster, they were very sportsman like and gave me a three second head start to even the playing field, was a good race.

    100 mph in the quarter is pretty good for a long legged car!

    I hadn't noticed this while driving, but shows up well in the video, I'm going to do some investigation.
    Due to no rear suspension it hops the rear wheels badly at Santa Pod as soon as the boost kicks in in first and second it starts to hop, so I usually change up a bit early to minimize it, once in third it seems OK so long as I don't stamp my foot in it straight away....which is hard not to do:):cool:
