Well done on getting to superbattle John, you have progressed well over the year.

You finally got chance to chase the wagon!

Thanks for the kind comments Guys, as I am sure each and everyone of you know how bloody hard it is to run a car in TA. Someone told me it's not the winning it's the taking part that counts, until now I was not too sure what they meant. To be involved with such a great bunch of petrol heads is something I will remember for the rest of my life.

Looking back it is all too easy to criticise yourself but one thing is sure I have learnt a hell off a lot this year and enjoyed every minute of it. 2009 will be interesting as now have pb's to beat and I know everyone else will be upping there game..........so the million dollar question is can I get down to 1100kg's and run 850 bhp reliably ?

Watch out Steven, I am fitting roof bars as well :twisted:


John

I think the 1100kg will be the hardest part, or most time consuming....

I'd be happy with getting our 32 down around 50-60kg to the high 1200's

That would be a dry weight Adam, once Donny is over later this month the engine is out for new shells, then the weight will be coming off. Looking at pics I have here there is a lot to go and like you said in order to make it look right it will definatly be time consuming.
