Yes, and the record is 8.22 - incredible within the class rules! But very costly too and there is a LOT of development and tech in these cars. So to run even in the eights this side of the pond is a pretty decent achievement.

This takes some doing,they are restricted to 435 cubic inch moters...Charlie Wescott Jnr is the man,he builds all his own kit ,,8.22sec i think he ran ,,,the moters are about as trick as you can get.....CWJ moter on the dyno,,
