Top stuff from Wade, no doubt he's done on of his blistering runs again!

Still cant believe how quick he gets off the line, thats a quick 60' at over 1800kg

You have to see and hear Wade's launches to believe it.
He has definately got a handle on getting the big heavy thing off the line.

Well done mate.

There one thing I want to thank the boys at Northern diffs especially Sean who put my diff together (Chris you have to be nice to him for at least a day lol), my diff has copped hell and still feels like the first day I got it. Those boys sure know how to build a strong diff.

On another note that was the last time I will be running unopened next time out (about 5-6 weeks) next project will start.
Chris (Bluepower) is doing a full rebuild blueprinted bottom end,ported heads,cams. : one decsription monster.
Will will soon see some good potential out of these boss powered cars, theres a couple of other boss's coming out opened this year also I have a feeling it could be a good year for the boss. :

I wish I was brave enough to have taken the Black BA out for a run before someone buys it! :
It would have run a pb forsure by the sounds of it.
Great work Wade, Chris says you are a NUT! LOL. :
