Calling BossCerb, Nickccc and Brummie
Discussion
Gents,
Entry for this years supercar drag race event is now open. This year the event will be run over a standing mile, and the variety of cars will be greater although the emphasis being firmly on factory tuned cars. Nickccc will hopefully carry the flag for the factory tuned Cerbs against the factory spec supercars, however, the fastest overall Cerb debate is an interesting one, and between the three of you should be close!
I will be using my 4.2 as a standard 4.2 although I do have a slot for a circa 420hp standard 4.5 and a 350hp Speed Six Cerbie.

Hi there, engine is out and in as many pieces as it could be! I thought id got all the bits together but the rods in my existing engine dont fit my new big pistons!!! grrrr..however i hope to have the right rods by end of next week, and the following week the new 6.9, flowed and fully ballanced beastie should live and breath, so yep all things equal i'm in!

You sorted the traction/diff problems yet Brett?
Hi 
Good question....I was about to spend around 2k to improve my standing starts, so I don't do another full quarter with the rears spinning all the way lol...
That 2k would have been just for this event....so at least I saved some money
All the best Brett

Brett, out of interest how long can you hold a nitrous hit? Also, if you entered your best mod would be wheelie bars, lol.
Hi Wheelie bars wouldn't help , as my front does not lift, its just that even my 10 x 18 rears with huge tyres have a problem putting down over 1000 hp....
Time for my Nitrous hit.....
Well....with my Pro Race system....until one of two things happen....
Either until my 2 x 15 lb bottles run out...by which time I would probably be doing well over 250 mph...
or
Until the big bang as my standard engine or transmission dropped out
The only reason I might have used a chute by the way was in case they didn't have enough shut down area for over 200 mph....which in my case would mean over 800 yards for safety....
All the best Brett

It doesn't do quarters well at all lol....as it was designed by me for Top Speed runs with a rolling start....
But when I last did some testing at the Pod it ran a 17 second quarter....with absolutely no traction for the WHOLE QUARTER . WITH REARS SPINNING straight through the top end.....
I kid you not , I even have a video of it lol....
From xmas tree to top end , it was like the biggest rolling burnout you ever saw...
All the best Brett
