| Good to see Simon's Soarer claiming fourth there, might have done better with some racing wheels on there if my reading is right, but a great achievement none-the-less! |

| Argh, I still haven't got my copy of the magazine yet! Thanks for the support Cars were limited to using the same tyres for the entire competition, so I went with street legal circuit tyres (Falken Azenis) which were affordable at the time. As noted in some other threads, I had major issues getting down the strip in a straight line... basically a 400m burnout, crossing the line at 200km/h sideways Probably could have chopped 2 seconds off the ET if I had drag slicks instead of street tyres. Extremely fun competition though... loved every minute of it I'll have to read more of the article to see what else they said. |

| Yep! Thanks to Simon I've purchased those same wheels as well. Before that, I had always disliked chromies but the Zenetti's are just too good to pass! P.S. Good work as usual Simon. Looking forward to seeing you come 1st next year! |

| I'll have to go out and get the magazine tomorrow... all this talk is too much to bear. Once again thanks, but big thanks have to also go to you Lew for supply and installation of the beautiful 2JZ engine. Highly recommend both Lew and the engine to other members  |
