Shame but huge kudos for even turning up and doing it in the first place. Almost a minute off the pace in the first stage seems a lot to make up. Can't see any news as to what happened in that first stage.

Always next year though.

Ah crap that looks perfect in preview!

So basically 2 minutes off the pac?

And you wondered why I said I thought they had the wrong car for the job.

If they ever get that close to 10mins and Tajima Ill eat my hat.

Hee hee! Give em a few years and you might regret that statement. Although they've got a fair way to go seeing as they were only 15 odd secs faster than a '66 shelby cobra. Now that's a run I'd like to see!

The power was there...I`m sure there are a few issues as to what needs to be done to fulfill it`s potential. I`m also sure there will be lots to think about regarding making improvements & trying again another time. Hope a video surfaces of the run.
