Well, you are pushing the envelope there Ade - last chance saloon.

We may attend that one too if the weather holds, but don't expect any improvement in performance before the new season....still, it's all good fun!!!!

BTW, I think I have some 28 x 11" slicks on 4.5" PCD wheels if that would help.............

Bonfire do for me. Dont know whether to do the pod or shakey.
Pod might be prepped better for the flame and thunder but shakey is faster, so if the line is ok more chance of a pb.
What say ye.

I'm going to Shakey's on the 27th if the weather looks ok. Might see you there Mick.

I've just spoken to a friend of mine, he ran at shakey last week and went from a 11.78 best to a new pb 11.65, so i'm definitely going to shakey now.
Long range forecast shows dry weather on the 27th.

He's bringing his Belvedere down on the 27th as well. Are you going just sat Mick?

Thanks for the pics lads, but yer right........ with stock spring locations a 9" slick is about as big as it will take, spesh on my car with the lowered Hotchkis leafs, puts the tyre right up into the inner wheelhouse on the launch.
When I put Johns 28X9's on they only just cleared

Both them Cudas look as hard as Bananarama!
