QLD guys were at the drags again last Wednesday night and Pete was putting on his usual crowd pleasing display.

No wonder he placed first in 1/8th Mile drags(5LT) at last Nationals.

His best time for the night was 12.11. Not too shabby for a modest 5lt 302w.

Peter Ransom(owner of DRB) was also out there testing his factory demonstrator GT40.

Fantastic pics Craig.

Thats the sort of traction problem we'd all like.

Must be a live axle in Petes car to be putting the power down like that. I reckon it'd be cool if you could do that with IRS.

Now I am confused.

12 sec 1/8 mile seems slow! did you mean qtr mile?

By the way, is he running 90/10 shocks in the front?

What tyres on the rear?

Cheers,

Ben
