This was supposed to have been my PB attempt last Sunday. But I had to make a quick adjustment to the car before the next run which was my 10.29 PB ?

Can you see why the car only ran a low 11 ??? :rofl:

Looks like the nitrous pipe blew out of a fitting.

BTW have you noticed that the throttle plates in your ram scoop APPEAR to be almost CLOSED!!!!!

Also what are they operated by, as they didn't look to be at a constant position during the early run period.

The flaps are another issue the vids have shown Trev. The linkage is from my holley 600 which I transfered to the weber 800. I'm working on this now. The slop in the linkage is allowing the flaps to over rotate and start to close again :shock:

I'm making another new linkage from scratch. And yes!!! Fitted all new plastic lines in the pits. Nipped all up by hand. Then we got the call for our race slot and so we fuelled and got in line. The lines were only hand tight + a fraction of a nip with the 8mm spanner to hold them in place while we made sure the length was ok. None of the others let go with 900 psi behind them though :)

When I saw the line flapping about I took a fraction of a second to say to myself "oh bugger" and in the same time frame I also said to myself "sod it, I'm keeping my foot in to see what happens, It can only run rich eh" :rofl:

An 11 second pass with most of my gas drifting into the air is ok with me !!
