We all know your fast so now it's time to see how fast.

Bottom line is, you race cars so strip it, race it, kick *** and then you can sit back and be the wind up merchant again.
It's a win win situation.

Until TOTB decide you have to drive your car there and back with 5 people in it you have to take full advantage of the rules.

You can strip it of course. But I don't think it's worth it. 100kg is only worth about 0.1 seconds on the ET on our cars based on full 1/4mile acceleration simulation (rather than a quick and dirty drag calculator).

And if you do strip your car and beat me Andy, I will still have the enjoyment of digging you about it all year after I run in my "Full interior RA".

John,

I am not saying the competition are breaking the rules, but the competition is meant to be for road cars. Stripped interior, trailored methanol burning drag only cars are dropping to a lower standard of what most what call a road car.

I am suggesting he drops to these same levels. I am not suggesting to do so woul be uncompetitive.

I agree it is up to him to decide what he wants to do, but he has to be prepared that his customers would see it as less of a road car.

 

Really 0.1sec for 100kg ? The most I estimate I could save would be 50kg and thats being brutal with the cutting disc and 'doing a Wallis' to the floor etc

You're right Dale, whats important here is not the winning but retaining the wind up rights ....... I have a plan

Andy

 

'doing a wallis'

thats harsh coming from you Andy

Its a team effort too remember, but we really do need to 'improve' our game, if you cant beat em, join em.

I want to weigh my car as it is first..

David

 

Just go ahead a make it a convertible! Chop that roof off and make it a hairdresser's car Andy.....you know you want to

 

If you can't join em, beat em

 

That would solve the problem of the car steaming up when he removes the heater!!

 

What happened to the white one you were gonna look at after Dastek Andy ?

If i were you...i'd leave the typeR fully dressed.

 

I didn't go to see it Jonny, I didn't think I would have enough time to do a ground up build, although it would have ended up a quicker car as a no compromise build.

'doing a wallis' ..... All I meant by that David was I don't want to take a disc/oxy cutter to the bodyshell, no insult intended !
