Hypo, your car hooks like a champ, how are the 60' times ?

ahh that's interesting, thought it looked vaguely familiar. He has some brilliant plates on it 'weirdo'

Yes, he is a good guy. His running gear was in a HQ Statesman for a while and he was looking for something a bit lighter. When he purchased the tonner the Statesman had been sitting around a while with gearbox damage.

I know he was having a few little problems on Wednesday night but I'm sure he will get on top of it.

The WIERDO plates are off the HQ Statesman, I'm sure there is a story behind them.

Sorry Paul - of course it was you if Adam was having his leisurely cruise down the 1/4.

The Charger had her very first run down the 1/4 at WSID on Saturday with the club day - great experience and now I want more. She ran a 16 to start with but we were only getting 50% throttle so after we sorted that we got a 13.6 with the street tyres and really had major traction issues off the line - 60' time of 2.2. Changed to set of sticky tyres and ran a 12.9. Not too bad for a open diff - guys in know in the club reckon with some tweaking of rear springs etc and a proper diff we should be able to get low - mid 12's out of her. Not in Anthony or Shaun's league though.
