Title: JDS drag series
Post by: Grant Monkhouse on July 14, 2013, 06:27:18 PM
i have been too a couple of the events so far, Rotorstock will be my third, and iv just become the owner of a nice new camera, and a few lenses. I dont know what im doing yet but ive just been taking pictures of anything to see what works, what doesnt etc.
 
i will post all the pictures in here i take and see what you guys think.
 
i will be bringing my camera to rotorstock so be warned, i will be taking pictures of all things great and all things terrible.
 
heres a couple of a bad ass mini, runs 9s iirc. but its a front wheel drive drive car so in my eyes its a bit ghey, fast but....

panel gaps dont matter when your turbo is so big the bonnet needs modifications

This beast runs 8.50s, consistently. E85 fuel, 6 x 2200cc injectors, GT47 turbo, 2 speed powerglide, launches in 4wd changes to RWD, Kiwi built engine by RIPS blah blah blah £250,000!! Can run faster than 8.50s but the cage isnt specced for it so.... can anyone say waste of money?? however its still awesome

Thanks. Hopefully I can get some pictures of Syed\'s car at rotor stock?? And some more of Liam\'s car?? The new lens I have got should mean I get some closer shots of his burnouts and the time board as it has a great zoom!
