  • driver must be about 130 kilos...right front doesn't lift ..at all !

  • @harmageden The suspenison wont let the other wheel lift off. If it did lift there would possibly be damage. It doesnt do that now as there are tramp bars fitted.

  • @NitrousMGB ..thanks for the info ..cheers..ps..i visited 'The POD' thirty years ago..wonder if its changed much since then ?

  • @harmageden You would not believe how much the Pod has changed in 30 years Sir!

    You should look for a decent show to attend before htis years end. You will be very surprised. Back in those days we used to all queue for a pee in a shed etc..

    Its a very nice setup now. I'll be taking a day off work for some quiet test runs on Friday 6th August. But if you want to see real racing you should attend the FIA finals in Sept...

  • Hi Perry

    Great video! 3 wheels for the first 15 feet or so must be interesting from behind the wheel! Iv'e seen your car around at the Pod for a while now but don't think I've ever actually seen it run, I'm always in the fire up lane myself.

    We run the Jägerbug, bright orange VW Beetle, and were there on the 17th too, I've put together a video of all the launches we did on the day too, go check it out ;-)

  • What a great compilation Nick!!

    Your burnouts look cool mate!!

    I will have to try and get my mates to do a compilation of my stuff with cool music like yours.

    Maybe see you at the track soon eh?

    Regards

    Perry

see all

  • @NitrousMGB ....good luck with your MiGiBiGiT...Great car ..I might be able to attend the finals...will be flying up from Tasmania to visit my relos in Letchworth then ..could even hire a V8 especially for the occasion ! Cheers , Mark .

  • Great launch, great video!

    kelv

  • Will do Nick. I've seen your car run before too.

    I'm back for more testing on 30th to see if my suspension tweaks will help. Not that I can do a lot with old cart springs eh :)

  • Hi!

    She still has some stability issues at around 115mph. We seem to be getting too much air under the rear end which is causing lift. This got really bad when I took out the old fuel tank from under the rear deck. At 95mph she started to drift sideways. Tank back in and problem was gone. But only up to the higher speed. The vid has made my year so far. Who cares about a low time now and then when you can show that off eh :)

    I love it.

    Which car were you driving?

    Regards

    Perry
