For anyone in France on the 1st weekend of October 2024, **For anyone in France on the 3rd weekend of September 2025, comme and watch Turbo Slug Fiero take on a bunch of other powerfull cars. (Up to a 1000HP!?)
This will be at the Guiscriff aerodrome on a "no-prep" 1/4 mile track. Should be fun !!
** Initially planned for October 2024, this event is finally approved for September 2025, thanks to all the hard work of the Breizh Coast Racing Team, their supporters and the help of the local authorities.

Me too, Patrick.
Drag racing is what the car does best.
There will be a couple of other videos from here untill then, but they're less interesting than simply gunning it down the 1/4 mile!------------------

Heh heh... yeah, I'll never understand why anyone would want to purposely limit their video(s) to using a third of the screen. 
Good luck at the event, Rafe. Looking forward to seeing some (proper) videos shot of your races!

As we say in french: "Fait chier!"
The weather conditions this week end are too bad. The event is cancelled/postponed. No new date for the moment...

OK, it seems as if the big event (for me ) is back on.
At first it should have been in May, but the organisers finally settled for June:
Turbo Slug can't wait to shred it's tyres!!------------------

In order to set up the car more like a real dragster for the upcoming races, I've decided to put some big balloon rubber on the rear.
These tyres are really cheap at about 80€ each, but are good for high speed applications.
They remind me of the Cooper Cobras I had on my '77 Trans Am, but instead of just being "T" rated, they are good for 270km/h with a "W" rating.
More pictures to compare with the Toyo semi-slicks and the Avons (actually on the car):
