Ahhh I see - I must have mistyped in the thread title. I was looking at the youtube vid title and description lol. oops :roll: .
I cant seem to change it though... Maybe somebody may be able to help there ?!

The car is rapid indeed. Its a shame about the wind noise and I have a few tricks up my sleeve for next time to help with that.

The car struggles for traction a bit leaving the line which I guess is hardly surprising with all of that power !!!

Credit to Joe Geach (AVERS RACERS) for his beautifully built car and good driving. Also to my friend Claire Manning for getting the cracking pictures which I later edited and added to the video.

More to come at the next event.

Recently put 3 go pros on 3 McLarens during drag races up to about 190mph and they all stayed on perfectly.
Don't rely on the sticky pads on helmets of pro mx enduro riders however, your 5 day old go pro 2 may never be seen again :cry:

Even more gutted that I was too late to see this is the flesh now I see what's powering it! 8) I passed it on the A30 near Bodmin when we drove down on Sunday. (orange e21)

Might try and make Par though, if we're still down?
