Hi Cliff, yeah saw most of your runs, some good hp there but....whats with the hook ups mate, looks like your driving off the line first 20ft or so and then in comes the power and nailing it?, was it spinning up?

To be honest I wouold have been happy to take a couple of minutes to roll up the strip and pose 8-) :lol:

What is your mph at the top end?
1.8 is not too bad for a car on street tyres; my guess is that its a horsepower issue and slicks may not help - in fact it may make it worse.

Also what rpm are you turning through the traps?
