thought id post the links to my vids I put on youtube of me in my nova at shakespeare on Sunday.

First 3 runs I did were ****E! as I've not raced the car before and I was quite rusty with the launches and driving like miss daisy.

Anyway gradually brought the times down from 14.4 to 14.2 to 13.6 to
13.45 @ 107.33 - total of 8 runs.

Enjoy! :) :d:d cant wait to attempt it again this time hopefully with MORE POWER!

Thats pretty good, getting used to the surface is a good excuse for poor initial runs.

The suspension is quite soft, but that helps with drag racing normally.

If I can upgrade the car to a healthy 280bhp, what times and terminals do you expect should be achievable??

Cheers,

Jon.

Hmmm - I would have thought that soft suspension is a massive hinderance to the quarter mile! ;)

You need it jacked at the back and slammed at the front with max damping!

Yeah I suppose, I have seen fwd drag cars always seem to point to the floor at the front!

Looks dodgy though!
