Hi all,

Just found this on AusRotary.  Hopefully Grump2 will provide some more details.  It isn\'t even tubbed!

A new 12A record, and new 26 x 8.5 tyre record also!

Era and Martin may just like this! :) :)

Hi mate - I WISH they could come across, would be awesome - but at this stage it is just too expensive unless a sponsor comes in. :(

The link to aus rotary that Glen put up about how far the drag strip is from the city and how many times it is open a week could well explain some off the times:( Also the fact that the guys in Aus have been doing it a damn sight longer than the Uk. It is not just about power it is how it gets put down.
