    Yeah maybe, where are you? over the bridge? I had a few drags with my friend in his Jenvey TB'd 20xe at PVS this year. Seemed to beat him quite easily which is one of the reasons im holding off fitting my bodies. I think to be fair though my car is probably a fair bit lighter than his, and the diff does seem to get it off the line quicker. Im going to continue to dog it until something lets go. then build my proper one, which is in pieces under the bath at the moment (mostly new & boxed)

    Short vid of one of the drags this year.

    Its deffo due to weight mate - the Novas are quite a bit quicker in similar fettle!
    I have a Toovey built 250 bhp screamer in mine, although it hasnt moved for 3 years!

    Yep - I am the first junction after the Severn bridge - so not far at all!

    My excuse was a poor start. Still flew past him though, but then missed 4th and he reeled me in. It was a Let though.

    Voila.... (love the noise, shame about the missed gear)

    No problem Craig.

    I still need to sort a XE head from you at some point. Most of June was spent working in Yorkshire and Coventry and July is starting to look the same!!

    Hmmmm Matthew from cumbria.... Rings a bell. Is it boxed up yet?

    I dont suppose on the slight off-chance your Mrs Nova was fitted with the same wheels as those i use on track last year at billing was it?
