Getting the tyre crumple effect was the idea of the pic, I was a bit pemature, 1/4 of a second later and the front would be lifted more, but I\'m happy with the pic none the less :)

excuse my ignorance here but wouldn\'t having the window open increase air resistance and slow the car down?
Great pic mind, it\'s scary how much power these car can produce when tuned!

I understand he did several low 11\'s on Saturday, had trouble sunday though :(

He did an 11.0 at Rotorstock IIRC....poor guy NEEDS and DESERVES a 10 !!

just spoke to james this morning.

his clutch has gone which prevented him from surely getting his first 10 on his last run @ japshow!!!

lets hope it all comes together for him next season, but i know he has alot more plans up his sleeve for the future in this car

regards

colum

my new email (no laughing) columtbag@hotmail.com

alternately, dave im just round the corner, pop it round (47 brackleys way) on a disk and kettle will be on, because i only have access to comp at work

thanks for all the coments lads had a great weekend not to bothered about the trouble with the car it will be back next year even better.
i manage to run an 11.1@123mph on 0.8 bar of boost with a 1.71 60ft which is not the best that i have done think there could be a 10 in the car with a better 60ft.
thanks for the photo dave it looks great already spoke to colum about it and he has had it printed for me
speak to you soon mate
