That looks amazing. I was away at the weekend with friends, this is their first season in full sized drag racing so they got me some tickets to go and see them.

I was completely blown away by the full sized sport and watched a full sized turbine funny car cover the 1/4 mile in 6.1 seconds and 294MPH. According to his timing sheet he was doing 100MPH as he passed the starting light tree, and all of this was in the dark!!

read about it here.

So now I'm fired up, I can't wait to see your car go.

hi ron allan and everybody i had to make some adjustments on the car because of the brake cables they were to near to the back of the turbine so i had to put the engine at the back it look s nicer at the back but i would have preffered it in the middle because of the cg (center of gravity) ill have to try and put the battries and other stuff as near as the front as possibile to try to get the cg right Image Image Image
