Gary, commentators are well informed why we do what we do and they remember to tell it to crowd almost every time we go to the line. They too wait for us to break current Y-block WR sooner or later... Commentators even follow us to restaurants and then they give comments about how we performed there BigGrin. Last time we did 131 euro bill of two steaks, two beers, two whiskeys (21 year old) and two classes of red wine! Commentators didn't see the bill, but mentioned about our lunch next morning when Jyrki was at burn out slot Wink.That wheel spin and bouncing is a bit annoying thing, what we have not yet solved. Maybe higher stall converter and going from 4.29 gears to 4.11 would help, but that trial takes more money that we have now to spend. We have tried different tyre pressures (5 psi was ok at Kalajoki) and different rpm's at the launch. And now we have that Anti Lag System to set up too. At Kalajoki it didn't yet work quite as we wanted, but we are going to right direction with it.

Well... not really! They just happened to be at the same restaurant BigGrin. And maybe good stories about drivers are so rare, they just had to say something... But, they really like the look of our altered.

Mostly it's confusing if you look faces of spectators walking by the pit and find its a really Y-Block what lays under the pipejungle. Tongue

It is nice to know there is people still, who recognize the Y.

Six runs during final round of Finnish Drag Race Championships in Motopark raceway and engine is still in one piece. Lost in third round of 32 car ladder. Good news is that all runs were under nine seconds and best was 8.644 and it is now new European Record! And as a back up 8.660 is also good one.  Also our best top speed is now 245,49 km/h. Previous best was 243 km/h. 2 kilos of boost is NICE!
8.845 / 245,49
8.674 / 231,89
8.660 / 238,42
8.661 / 244,25
8.644 / 245,03
8.715 / 245,03 !!!
