for sure, 183+ one liter na is in my book
phenomenal, im too dumb to run na, I couldnt
run 183 without alot of nitrous
hope you well with your project, maybe you could
run nitrous next year, the existing record in my eyes
is pretty soft considering the yahoo who set it, there is plenty left
there, it will probably fall next week or in March
ps I even work on projects that dont match my goals
can you pass on any secrets on how you picked up
16 mph with no engine work and same body??
i couldnt resist giving you crap for not finding a way to
be legal and have that record
unofficial records???
