Now that's how you launch a Cobra
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.
Cheers

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

Looks like drag radials on the back. Mickey thompson ET streets by the look.

Mike's right about the tyres, they are MT ET street radials - simply the best radial drag tyre on the market - in many ways they are better than slicks in my opinion. I can run a 1.60, 60 foot time on small 235/60-15 ET radials.
I reckon Mike may be right about the rear-end too, generally speaking IRS will squat fairly evenly (within reason).
The pictures look like he's on his way to a 10 second pass!!! That thing would be pretty damn scary with an extra 100hp.....

But the steering wheel is on the "rong" side! 
Good-looking launch!

12.11 is for the 1/4.
Yeah, shortened Ford 9" in the rear. I think it's 3.9 ratio.
He had an old set of MT's given to him. At the Nationals he just runs the R spec tyres for 1/8th mile.
Will find out MPH & gear ratio. Pete might post here himself.

Hey Guys ,
thanks for the comments.
Mph was 112.5
60 foot was 1.67
1/8th was 7.7
The tyres are M&H,
to be honest its the first time I have been quicker on those than using Proxes Ra1.
The track was really good being two weeks after the winternationals.
Peter..
