Hey luke

Nice one with the altered records! You missed out Dennis Wratten's 7.66 @ 186. Also at the Hot Rod Drags we ran 7.92 @ 167

We are climbing slowly

oh yeah forgot them!

Luke, Are they proper records, ie with the Backup runs, or are they like Personal bests / Best runs?

Also one thing that stood out was John Everitt, with the Alien, not a bad acheivement considering he is NA!!

Nope just the personal bests, nah the one that stands out a long long way is Gary Page's 7.18 in 1977

Hi Luke, did Tony Froome run some numbers in the Sundance altered before the crash ?

Can't remember Barry, Jerry would probably know though if he is reading. Also another one i just thought of is Ian Hanson, sure he run a 7.57?

John Menetrier certainly ran the car better when it was "Altered Ego" (still one of my favorites)

Be interesting to plot the relative times of Tony Betts car through its various guises, ie Turners "Straight Shooter", Darrioux Walters "Jokers Wild / Glass Aid", "Harry the Spider" and the body during its "Demag / Houndog" phase...

Yeah forgot Altered ego, that was a nice motor, anyone know for fact times he run???

Well dunno what the Turners run but i can find out...
Darrioux Walters to my knowledge never really got to grips with the car.
Harry the Spider, Jim run a 6.87 in that.

I've got it all listed for nitro cars; Rob Turner ran 7.1 I think with a BIG (215mph if I remember right) speed, no idea about numbers from Darioux Walters though

Ian Hanson ran 7.52 at Hot Rod Drags 2005
got a feeling that John Menetrier ran low 8s in Altered Ego? think Tony Froome crashed it before it got any serious numbers on it from him though

also Dave Gibbons ran 7.7 when he was driving the Alien for Paul Marston if I remeber right

hopefully we'll join the list before long with the injected alky rat

7.52 do you no what the speed was?? i think that run is on the nfaa dvd from last year tho so il have a look.
im only listing the 7's really otherwise list is too long.

i heard that the alien whilst in france run a 7.2 but think that was just a rumour...

I've heard Bertrand Dubet ran down into the low 7s with the Alien in France, although that was using nitrous and alky injection

Luke; yea the run from Ian Hanson is on the NFAA DVD, got a feeling it was 167mph

cheers adam il add that now.
