Think thats the Regal/Cossvaux built twin C20LET engined Nova if its still running both of them. I say that as it looked pretty normal going up the strip when I saw it.

Theres a website somewhere if you want to google it.

Why does it have wheelie bars? I don't think I have ever heard of it picking the front wheels off of the deck.

This car annoys me

It never does a good time lol.

From what I saw is that the rear engine gets great grip, but the front engine still spins up, so in all intesive purposes its only a 1 engined car as the front engine is really pointless.

I would imagine the ludicrous wheelie bar was an attempt to combat that and keep the front wheels on the floor.

if anyone is describing the car over the weekend then it was only running its rear engine as they had transmision problems early saturday on the front engine (second run) blown box or some sh1t.

theres some awesome videos of it on youtube, search "Boost Beast"
has put some very good times down abroad ect ect. what looks to be under 8second 1/8th mile, not wure what that would roughly work out to be across a quarter.

looks bloody hideous with those stupid wheels onthe back, doubt they actualy do much tbh.

He got a low 11 on the first run, so not too shoddy...

but Austin, all it ever seems to do is one run then die.... or a few 0-60 runs with iffy timing gear :D

its the EDS car (that regal claim to have worked on..... well yeah ok fitting drive shafts and duping people into believing they built it)
