The next speed championship is in July where competitors will have to do two runs to back up there speed rather than the one in 2006. The owner of this car actually ran a 2WD at a recorded 160mph but broke it before he could do a second run. They wanted a second run as they thought there was a fault with the radar, which is being replaced with proper timing equipment for this year. |

You know we have a radar speed gun in work that never gets used, shall I try and bring it to the next regional as we never know what speeds we are doing on the straight.

program I have say's theoretical speed of 66mph for a X6/B4 transmisson using Nosram 6.5t on 21/78. 80mm about right for rear Schumacher tyres I think

Catch-Fire's got @ 7700KV but he had in the slower motor in from Sat night's racing
Put loads of lead in the front to keep it earth bound but the bloody thing still wanted to fly We read this 1st from the Mamba Site Quote:

If you want to do speed runs, then you have to belt the inside of the tyre, to try to reduce tyre growth, which is causing your blow out. Although theoreticaly you can acheive 84, the faster you go, the more exponential your problems arise.

That was a bit nuts like.
The second run with 10 cells was a bit mad, the road dried up, so he got it to about 2/3rds throttle, then full throttle and it would lift all four 4 wheels - only the wing was keeping it on the ground. The next run was the 12 cell run, and it had rained - a LOT. Basically, it wouldn't wheelie any more, but on one blast up the road it did a Hammond, at easily over 55mph, and with it being wet Adam stood no chance at all at keeping it off the kerbs, it slid, hit the kerb and made a horrid noise! Quite suprised at the lack of damage really, on first sight I thought it had snapped into a few bits. I have a video of it doing a run on my phone, and a photo of a U-shaped driveshaft. Bit crap though. |

Are you sure. I've got a LRP X11 5.5 that has 8100kv and is rated at a 7 turn.

He should try and put a big body on it off one of them big oval cars like the Assosiated L4 but bigger and nitro what are they called?
That would keep it on the ground. A |

Is there going to be another attempt? Need a way of measuring the speed, how clear is the A33 at midnight, and Liam, would your Lupo keep up?? |
