Well i wasn't going last night but boy am glad i did. 11.4

Chris you have become a close friend and your quest to make all your customers happy shows.

You have taken all the crap from knockers over the past year, and you have answered it in the best way on the track and with intrest.

Hope to be back out soon flying the blue power flag.


One last word


YOU THE MAN

I certainly wish the car had turbo's, would make the quest for a 10 a little easier.

I only race what I can afford, and for me and many of my customers cutting holes and drilling into a car like an FPV is a no-no. Therefore, a Non-intercooled CAPA Powerdyne supercharger is the way to go. Bolt on 50plus rwkw and burn away, installed, run-in in a half day.

the 9.5l/100 on the hume travelling to and from work is a real bonus too.

Well done mate. Every time you go quiet on the forums for a while one of your cars comes and rips out another record.
I hope you get the support you deserve for all of the time you are putting into the project. : :
