Thought id start a new thread to see what times those who ran had, please also state your modifications as well. Im really interested in what the usual groups of modifications do 'on road' rather than 'rolling road'.

Please post :remybussi Dont be embarrased if you've got a crap time Rich :bricks:

I cracked a 14.7 quarter, but got slower from then on.

Don got an unexpected 14.4 from his first run, not sure if he did better.

SWautos got a 13, but I think he was spinning most of the way !

I ran Sat & Sun and the best I managed was a 14.9 @ 98mph.

I am far from the best drag strip driver though! Sure someone could beat my best of 14.8 @ Avon last year in my own car!!

Had a really good laugh though, sorry if I didn't talk much had 6 mates with me and we were racing 2 cars as well as camping and cooking our own food!

Blooming cold and Sat night until we snuggled up in our sleeping bags! Did have a "New York vagrant style" fire in a barrell that kept us warm though, unlimited supply of wood courtesy of Avon Park & 6ft flames!

Good to see you all and all the best!

Evening all,

slinky here from 587racing.com.. Just thought I'd pop by and say hello after seeing all of you at Shakey today.. A cracking turnout and fair play to you all for getting down to the strip and having some fun..

We were there for the weekend in the silver rear engined dragster doing some shakedown tests with our new engine. Rather pleasingly, we now run 9's!

Oh, and dave, waking up this morning to see a tree trunk poking out of your "brazier" was MOST entertaining!

have fun folks..

Nope... Not a Hausers car I'm afraid.. (although it would be nice!)

Our chassis was welded by Dave Mckenzie with it's previous owner, but bar two panels, everything on the car was fabricated, built, made by us, including the new engine!

That one was a straight forward normally aspirated engine with 160 bhp @ wheels. If you think that sounds like fun, you should see the supercharged ones which have about 330 bhp @ wheels and weigh about 300 kg, giving it over 1000 bhp per ton!
