There's been alot of trial and error to get the 60 foot to there, previous best was a 1.11 and a 1.08 is amazing considering it's a 20 year old designed car.
Like i've said a huge amount of work has gone into this, it's not just a matter of sticking the biggest engine in and it goes down the strip, sometimes i doubt the boys get the recognition they deserve as there's too many 'knockers' out there who don't have half the passion these two guys do. This is going to be very very hard to beat !!!! No.1 again boys.... hats off. |
