Was at Santa Pod for the weekend....

And there's a slightly glum face here !!!!

8 new pistons required...

Why dont manufacturers build parts to a spec suitable for their usage :@
Its even worse considering they were custom made !!!

Ross better step up and try and remedy this problem.

I just noticed derestrictor's speed in the M6! 186mph! Assuming it's got a smidge more power than standard from a remap that's impressive and goes to show what the 'ro could probably manage with better gearing. I imagine drag and frontal area are similar.

Remember chaps, those aren't the car's top speeds - merely the speeds they could reach on a 1.5mile slight gradient sidewind forced runway (which makes the RT12's speed even more impressive)

When I did it there was certainly more to come, I just ran out of road.

Best photo of the 'fastest colour' Monaro I have seen! Cracking top speed, what have you done to yours, bearing in mind how much your competition must have cost.
Ps. Nice number plate! (totally lost on my wife!)

Did the Monaro do the TVR at the end then? Seemed reasonably close from the start.

A rather nice selection of motors on show on that day by the looks.

Those Grif 500s don't half rocket off the line, that one looks like it's in rude health. I think the same guy was there when I did VMax. The combination or low weight, plenty of grunt and surprising traction means it's a drag race giant killer.

He was killing everything, but it was all over for him by about 80. getmecoat

Have to say he drove that car well.

Actually I think I may have had a ride in that very car last time. I just looked at the results from when I did it and he was definitely there but it may have been gruffgriff I rode with.

Great Video, some really great cars there looks like an excellent day out, whens the next one.

But more importantly Jez, did you beat the Griff into the first corner ??

Crisisjez - you looked well quick off the line against the Griff, made the Monaro look a seriously quick car.

Very nice.
