...two 6.72 runs so far and there's 1,200 miles to go.
No Larry Larson this year, he broke his Nova in testing so at least someone else will win this year (by default).
With Andy Frost and the Red Victor team posting a 6.40 at this weekends Euro Finals the gauntlet has been thrown over the Pond. Well worth keeping on top of.
Enjoy.

I sent Dave Freiburger the video of Red Victor's 6.40 run.

The tin foil hat wearers are suggesting Larry dropped out because he doesn't like the Pro-Mod's. I can understand why. Compared to Red Victor III that started out as a all metal car crafted and grafted into the shape she's in now so molds could be made to make panels; the Pro-Mod's in Drag Week appear to be Pro-Mod kits (tubed chassis with commercially available bodies) made barely road legal.

I had an RD50 (and six points on my licence a month later).

...once again. Impressive considering the ambient temperature and "there's more to come" sounds familiar to the Red Victor fans.

The joys of driving a race car on the road eh?

If you have to ask you "Why?" should probably take up fly fishing.

I'll post the recap as soon as it's up I missed the live feed as I was called into work. The 6.64 was a 6.94 that was a typo.

To be honest Andy I was hoping the 6.64 was genuine. It's about time you had some competition (other than small Fiats for Giant Jaffa Cakes).

Yea, i've been pissing about up to now. It's time to show what the car can do with the limited runs we have left before the winter.I love the competition, it's what drove me to do this in the first place..

Can you do a couple of Winter runs? The reduced air temperature and additional Oxygen content could be worth a few extra broken horses.
It would,but it would be negated by a freezing cold unprepped track. That track surface is more important than cold air...It was just a thought.

Nobody likes running after Fireforce, the film of diesel doesn't help matters.
Fine. I think my parade has been extinguished. Hmmmm....
Is there a world record quarter mile time set in snow?
The downforce and weight transfer of having a plough up front and assisted drag from having a salt spreader on the back should be pretty stable.
I don't think they do snow chains big enough for Hoosters.
