It's not the 34 psi bit I have a problem with, I have a good idea how much money it costs to run a reliable
10 second quarter in a car, pretty sure that time and the trap speed (+130 mph) necessitates a parachute,
a reliable drive line, well set up suspension and really good rubber....
140MPH at calder for a chute.
A mate of mine runs a yellow VL turbo (is there any other color???)
He drives it to the track, runs 9.8's and drives it home. On mickey Thompson street E/T's Radials. No problems and no dramma's.
Today's 8's are yesterdays 10's. A 10 Second car is not "that fast" anymore.
