Last minute coolant purge before the annual local drag race:




And tomorrow, it's off to the Guiscriff aerodrome:


I'll post more photos tomorrow of the runs.
Maybe a video, if I have time?

A couple of photos in the paddock:




I only managed 5 runs today; 4 wins and 1 defeat (against a Comp class car, I'm Super Street!)
The videos and/or other peoples photos will follow.

The Fiero ran perfectly with the freshly rebuilt motor, though I broke one of the new gearbox mounts! I've put the old poly mounts back in this evening.

The times are nothing to write home about, 13.5's, but you must understand that we don't have dedicated preped drag race tracks here.
We're running on an old aerodrome, gravel and weeds!🤪
I'll be going back tomorrow and try to do a bit faster😉

Lining up:


In the burnout box:


And we're off!


Fiero (Turbo Slug) wins every time!


To be more precise, Fiero wins 13 runs out of 15:


As said previously; this is not a prepped track, so the times are less impressive than you guys have over there in Drag Race Land!

(More photos and videos to follow...)

Yeah, I'm not going to forget that gear change for quite some time🤭😭

While waiting for other peoples photos and my patience for editing videos, here's another pretty photo:


For those that know me from a few years back, I used to own that Bandit Trans Am behind Turbo Slug.
It was nice to see it back, though the new owner had put an LS motor in it. What a shame, maybe..? His car now😉🤐
