Good luck man & don't forget to post some vids pre-run (while she idle) & runs .

peace

Thanks guys, 8s wont be easy but with a good track, good weather, little weight reduction and a little luck it may do it. And honestly if it doesnt I am still way more then happy how the car has run the last couple years for the parts involved. Its been a real good car overall.

Here is a vid of it running with the F1A, may take a few minutes for it to work.

Its definately louder then the D1, there is a hissing noise in the video that really isnt there though - must be the video conversion.

There is no doubt there is a blower on the car thats for sure

Its the cheapest Grant GT they make.

Went to swap front springs today and found one of the front shocks is completely dead, car has been leaving a little funny lately and thats probably why. Hopefully I can find a single Strange SA shock somewhere in stock and I'll send this one back to get rebuilt and keep it for a spare.

Yea, I ran in the 'race car' class this year. I could have cut a better light and beat him, it was that close. But he was cutting some great lights and he was .2 faster then I was all day, his car hiccuped off the line in the final but he ran me down. It was a good race and I got beat - had fun though and thats what its all about.
