[Jon C]

Been waiting a long time to be able to post this thread

Vote for the event winner, be interesting to hear low E.T. thoughts as well.

Thomas impressed me at Hockenheim, so I'll go with Him.

Spuffy to get low ET of 5.2. (Would love to see that 4, but not this time)

[jpw90]

Low et 5.1 by Gary, Spuff to run 5.1 also. By the way, theres only 5 now.

[crikey]

Spuff with a low ET of 5.35

[Flying Toilet]

Spuff and Page to run low 5's, Spuff a 5.0 i think and Page 5.2.

Helander has a good chance due to his consistent approach.

Dan

[wirralranger]

Patrick pers wont be there

[cliff gould]

gary and spuff in final.
once your there anything can happen.
low fives for both

[topnitro]

Good racing all weekend, that's what we want.

It's a pity that Patrik is tied up with business and can't make it.

Let's see - low fives all round would be the excellent order of the day and as for the final - I second Cliff's suggestion of Gary Page and John Spuffard. It would be fun if Bob or Kenneth decided to load up something special into the tune-up - to see a (** Gasps with excitement **)"4" come up would be sensational. Good luck to one and all!

Can I ask a stupid question please? What does the AA stand for in AA/FC? I'm guessing it's not for Alcohol Altered?

I always went with the Absolutely Amazing route, but me thinks I be wrong.

AA/FC is the race number prefix for Blown and injected nitro funnycar I think. In America they used to have BB/FC which were alcohol cars. The NFAA use AA/FA and BB/FA for the same reason to distinguish between fuel and alcohol combinations... then again I could be talking out of my sphincter muscle !

Nope, that is pretty much it. This is why an injected nitro dragster is an A Fuel car - it comes from the classification of A/FD despite the fact BB/FD and AA/FD are no longer used. BE warned though that in Comp Eliminator AA/A, BB/A and AB/A have different meanings. The double letters still mean a supercharged car, the second one being A for a high helix blower and B for a standard roots blower. The first letter is simply related to the ratio of weight to engine capacity - no cars run Nitro
