Google John Sleath Audi , first street car in Europe to run a 7 second 1/4 ,has ran down to 7.68 @ 192 mph It was powered by a Twin Turbo Keith Black BB Chevy on Pump Gas
Its now got Arnies Lsx fitted with twin turbos running on Super plus
Amazing weekend crewing for myself. Surrounded by loads of impressive teams with loads of kit sat a blue van, trailer, dirty green car with no decals and Arnie-no-mates. That said, York is famous for its friendly atmosphere, so I had no end of help with everything bar packing the f*****g parachute.
The racing was interesting, as I had to programme the AMS1000 myself. The runs started at 9.1 and got faster every time I went out. I qualified third behind Pel Norman's Shogun Capri, which was running 8.7s and Andy Fadster's model T running 8.2. The model T runs a 600cu motor, 14/71 blower and a 4-500 shot of nitrous. Andy drove it to the pub after Sunday's racing (it's street legal!).
My PB was 8.9, so I figured that's that. Time for more boost. I ran an 8.66 against Pel's 8.74 in the semi final, which encouraged me to add more boost. I lined up against Andy at the end of the day, spooled up and jumped into stage. The lights flashed amber and I let go. My RT was 0.6089 against Andy's 0.8859. He caught me by the eighth and passed me at 135 to my 131. Lucky for me my turbos can keep boosting, whereas the blower, big engine and NOS were all done. I caught Andy and passed him to take the win by 0.0236 seconds. Very Fast and Furious.

That sounds even better, with your narative. The racing was interesting, as I had to programme the AMS1000 myself. The runs started at 9.1 and got faster every time I went out.

Very well done, 
That's amazing Arnie. I'd say man racing on a shoestring does good but I suspect you've spent more than most of us by now
