JamieP Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 competing against the best is the way to improve I like your optimisem Dave:) To be fair, 3.4 and GT45 you should be very quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) But their top cars are effectively drag cars (even if they are road legal) would like to see them things cope with our roads Yeah right, Jessica Barton is quicker than anyone here by a long shot, 9.04@161mph on a full street car driven by a girl:D Most likely driven by darin but you get my point;) Edited October 19, 2010 by JamieP (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yeah right, Jessica Barton is quicker than anyone here by a long shot, 9.15 on a full street car driven by a girl:D Yeah, but she is very light and their strips are all built on the side of hills.

davej705 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yeah right, Jessica Barton is quicker than anyone here by a long shot, 9.04@161mph on a full street car driven by a girl:D Most likely driven by darin but you get my point;) the reason i suggested a trio of events is because you would get the overall best cars at the top,the car would have to perform well on track and strip. Do they do time attack in the US? would the drag setup cars be good on track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yeah right, Jessica Barton is quicker than anyone here by a long shot, 9.15 on a full street car driven by a girl:D Most likely driven by darin but you get my point;) Sorry, I meant the very top of the list. Apparently those times are hers though, there was vid on Supraforums of her doing a very quick run, and you could tell it was her. She was wearing too many clothes for my liking though I definately agree with you that they're way ahead of us, but these cars get alot more development over there. I reckon we're closing the gap though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, as good as this type of event sounds, you'll find it difficult finding enough takers to make it financially viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 to be honest i will probably go with something other than HKS as there are better cams out there. Better in what way? The HKS cams have been on the market for years and are tried and tested. The only other cams I would trust would be JUN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
