The camber just goes silly with the trailing arms though.

What is Ben running on his rear end? I remember it still looked like IRS on the back with that magazine article from years back, has he upgraded to a solid axle?

no he's going for 1000bhp or so in a rail now, i agree something needs doing with that rear end.

Do you ever go to any of the top fuel events?
not realy tend to stick with the road cars, jap show, retro cars that sort of thing, dont get me wrong i do like to watch top fuel and funny cars, maybe one day i,ll get my arse up there for a top fuel weekend, glad i didnt go last weekend though bet it was a washout.
yer i seem to be getting some grip off the line these days, so i,ll probably break some halfshafts soon, are you going to the jap show?

I don't go to what I call the slow shows I only seem to make Santa Pod twice a year really, so just go there for the damn fast stuff.

I went on Saturday it was fine, and I suspect most of Sunday was ok. I have some pics I could stick up.

Quickest time there was 4.89 @ 292mph

Quickest time I've seen is 4.7 @ 330mph. I have a pic somewhere of the time.

The yanks spend alot more money on the drag then us europeans.

Women are ok at drag. They're lighter remember. And top fuel is only one single speed. It can't go wrong
