You were going really well yesterday mate - It could have been worse!
Good to see that Novas were out in force again too!

My PB was 13.8 at 106mph - but my charge cooler really isnt up to the job, and charge temps were getting REALLY hot on phase, so I could go balls out unfortunately!

[nova_t]

unlucky about the shaft mate but good stuff on getting the nova down to a 13.1 that diff knocked of .7 of a second might have to invest in 1 last time i was at shakespear raceway i was running 13.8 same as you was running

[nova_t]

yh defo mate think we going down shakespear 29/30th of this month not sure if ill be running though

[Nobby]

i wud go if mine was alive pal but i aint risking buying another 22 spline shaft to smash it lol

[BRoadGhost]

For a minute there I thought those were the large motorsport shafts & was about to suggest having the replacements bored out...

[Nobby]

bored out?

[scott.parker]

Yeah hollow one are meant to twist but not snap, but i proved that mine just twisted and mash CV's! lol

[Bubba]

titanium shafts?

[Mazz]

Be more than the cars worth (no offence!)

[Nobby]

lol obviously hehe, i might be getting some of david dixons but gona see on a price

[BRoadGhost]

Aside from the gain in weight saving hollowing shafts, they're stronger because the tear torque creates always comes from the center and you've just effectively increased the size of that point...
