Robs car should definately be very impressive! Looking forward to seeing his results. So far to my knowledge, he will be chasing my 8.6, but I'm sure he can catch up to that by the end of the season.

Only problem is that I will be too! (if I can ever get a chance to work on my own car..)

Fastest ragtop would be ECS, but fastest IRS overall would be Keith Berry with his NPB of 8.32 run at Milan on July 10th at my racing event.
