When to shakey raceway at the weekend and manged a new pb 10.43@132. Not bad considering it was 30+ degs. Hopefully shave another couple of tenths off next time and then I might arm the nitrous

To be honest I really don't know  . The car's ready to go, but I'm in the middle of buying a new house & I don't know when we'll be moving, so everythings up in the air at the moment.cheers...Nige |

Finally for this weekend the nitrous will be getting switched on for the first time. Its just going to be a 150 shot on a button on the steering wheel as I dont know how much traction I will get at york with the extra power. All being well I should have 9 second car after the weekend, I am trying to be positive but I have not had the best of luck this year so finger toes and everything else crossed |

Well I didnt manage the 9 ,50 mph cross wind made then a bit dangerous with my only nitrous run ( just testing in 3rd gear) end up with me turning more than half a turn of the steering wheel to the left into the wind to try and go straight and ended up taking the timing box out at the end of the 1/4 mile on the right. I did manage a slight faster NA run doing 10.20@ 130. Next season the Joyrider will have a new tricked out 540 CI BBC with 800 hp + nitrous so I should a mid low 9 sec run then. |

I will not be taking the camaro to the HRD now as I have sold my short block. The 540 short block is now a 572 ordered yesterday . Consisting of a Dart big M block Keith Black forged pistons eagle H beam rods and forged Crank.
