..........we were really fooled by how easy it was going to be run a 200 shot, I really thought we wouldnt be able to get it all in by 3rd but it took it all in 2nd as well. The elevation was 108 feet which is really good for this month...

This one is dedicated to Hubie and El, thanks for the motorvation

Sweet!

 

Holy crap - 140 mph! Congrats Paul!

 

I guess that is great, I just don't understand why you want to go fast in a straight line in a car that is designed for the twisties. Thought this is what big old American iron was for.

 

Paul, what did your car weigh for this run?

If she weighed around 2,400 pounds, that's around 500 hp!?

I just noticed where you're posting from. That explains why the driver was on the "wrong" side.

Awesome run!

 

Good job Paul.

 

There ya go !! Nice job Paul.

 

Hey, I'm just as jealous as you man!

 

Dear god paul. What kind of gas were you running? C18? And even then I hope you cut that ignition advance way back. But holly cow man. Glad someone is there to push Hubie and Jan now. However you do take the cake for doing it the cheapest.

 

Paul -
WOW!!

That is just amazing!! Time for Hubie and El to get it on and down into the 9's...

 

holy **** Paul!!!!!! doood thats insane... congratz!!!

 

Its so nice that you guys have so much belief in me and I'm truly honoured, but as they would say on that MTV show

YOUVE BEEN PUNK'D

All the clues were in the original post, "this month" "fooled"

ITS APRIL FOOLS DAY

 

.......... Thought the record had been broken by a MINI ONE.

 

You suck....

 

Haha, nice one.

 

HAHAHAHA

 

now would you go do it for real so I can run around and scream again....

 

that's a nice one

 

Whats really amazing is that I've kept this video clip ( this run was in Oct 05) secret since January this year, we didn't even know that we had it until we started compiling a dvd for a Mini show we were doing in the UK. ( this run was in Oct 05)

It was the same weekend that Brian and the Widow was on the dyno and they texted me at 3am my time to say that they had made 500whp, so muggins here got out of bed got dressed went to the van in the hotel car park and it was -3 deg to ring them and congratulate them, where I found that they were joking. So we started plotting this then.

If you now watch the run and watch the sec clock you can see that its about a high 14 low 15 sec run

 

They do celebrate April Fools Day in the UK too.....

 

We will be spraying a 200 shot at the end of the month, hopefully we will be running in the new engine and head this weekend and hoping to get it into the 12s

I will do my usual of posting all of the timing ticket if it happens

 

And they have been doing it a lot longer than we have
