the funny thing is, that many maltese drag racers came to the UK and did better times there! lol what else can you say!? its just luck??
btw good luck on your build.. i really hope that you go into the 11's and show everyone it can be done. just remember that you also need a good driver

Doesnt matter for some reason nowadays if you provide proof you always get disbelievers.
Now when dub se7en acheived his high ct9 result since he was a very reputable member not alot questioned it as much. Then when someone out of the blue comes along its a farse.
Again with fatman. He knows what he is talking about end off its fact as he provides facts with everything he says. Again with hardcoreep thread. Now hardcoreep is one of the most knowledgeable memebrs on the site and he got shot done by people who frankly havnent got a clue.
Now its these members disrespecting these others that will stop these guys posting and we will all be stuck in the td turbo era not exploring. So everything should take a step back and learn something for a change.

I can only import parts not a driver lol
Besides with my skill as a driver i should be exported to drive.
As for times sheldon.... if i get a 12 second run i will be still pleased as its going to be a big learning step for me along the way as most mods i will be doing myself..
And forgot to mention im not going for the emu....Megasquirt lol
So this is a very big learning step for me as i will be tuning myself!

Was damage not the guy that first got launch control working but didnt tell anyone lol?
And i was one of them who shot down hardcore-ep and fatman as i did not believe a word BUT after seeing all the proof given it is very clear it is possible

it seems like because certain people, cant reach certain goals, then there is no way possible for others to do it.
1/4 mile chat here, and no1 has mentioned the tyres, or pressure, suspension and the 60 times, yet everyone is going mad about how some things can and cant be achieved
seems like having an argument without knowing what is being argued about. just pointless

Behave people, I'm actually fed up of all this 1/4 mile bickering it's really starting to get tiresome.
The facts on this website actually suggest that the cars in the UK and those abroad are of very similar build and specification. There is little difference between them, somewhere down the line this has equated in being down to "tuners", which I also think is a myth.
What is forgotten is that there are far more Starlets in the UK, thus a far greater range of results when it comes down to 1/4 mile times, hence a greater amount of poorer results. Either way you are never going to be able to compare results.
Personally I have no interest in the 1/4 mile, as there are far better forms of motor sport here (So I'm taking a reasonably neutral perspective). We're lucky!

the track was cold and the set up wasn't the greatest so there is loads of room for improvement. watch this space over the coming drag season as its about to begin here...
on another note, there is allot of disbelievers on this site. there has been several threads like this now and no matter how much info fatman, myself and other even more knowledgeable members post up to try support these results and facts, these people still choose to blatantly ignore them turning a blind eye and still claim things arnt possible....
Isnt the main aim in motor sport to go faster than what has previously been achieved? to try things that havn't been done before? to test and explore the limits of mind, physics and metal?
the mind set some of these people have chosen is slowly killing this and with it the growth of the industry..
the people who are trying to share the new levels of techniques technology and information will just give up trying to do so and go back to there sheds and workshops to tinker away without interference, because all thats happening is they are getting shut down and discriminated. to be honest im surprised more havnt already stopped trying to help, the seem to be some very patient people around.
big ups to those trying to improve the scene and industry.
to those who are opposing those who are trying to share i suggest you start to lissen up or you will be left behind in a cloud of tire smoke when u actually line one of these fellows up some day...
