Hi All :)

I have just applied to enter this years Fighting Torque....

It is a standing Mile at an Raf airfield in Suffolk.

Last year it was cut back to a standing 3/4 mile so I withdrew my entry ( I wanted the standing mile record)

Link here >>>> http://fightingtorque.org/supercar/index.php

They allow around 100 of the top super cars and some modified cars and I hope I will be accepted......

Last years winner was a Noble m400 with a time of 23.50 seconds at 173.20 mph ...but that was only a standing 3/4 mile, so I am going to have to hit over 200 to win this over a mile :)

Now if I am accepted, I am going to have to run my full 1000 hp of WON Pro Race Nitrous (plus my 350 hp of Porsche power)

The only thing I do not like about this event is the "standing start" as I designed mine for a "rolling start" high speed run....

I will let you know if I am accepted.......

All the best Brett :)

Sounds like there'll be some serious horsepower at that, best of luck with it!

Hi :)

They have refused my entry...for various reasons :evil:

The real reason being , I think, that they dont want a 22 year old 928 beating all that expensive metal they are accepting ....and I would have....

All the best Brett :)

Hi Brett

I`ve been following this NOS odyssey for a while but want to know exactly what the car does at the moment.

Have you 1/4 mile times or rolling roaded it or been in any sort of competitive speed runs?

Regards

Paul

Hi Paul :)

Its not designed for 1/4s and have only run one to set up some electronics....it ran a 17 with the rear wheels spinning the WHOLE quarter lolll...

Local rolling road wont allow me to run as they are afraid I will break their dyno :)...so only dyno run I have a print out for is an old one with only a small amount of Nitrous at 505 hp/512 ft lbs torque..

Competitive runs = no...not yet, most wont let me run :(

Actual speed......hmmm....no proof, but just over 200 mph...

All the best Brett :)

Thats shame as it would be interesting to see how it does.

Why dont you write to Top Gear or Piston Heads, I`m sure they would be interested?
