hey guys, just to say i manged to get a 15.430 second run out of the MV6 yesterday at santa pod, im pretty happy with that, is that a good time?
-
I'd say that's pretty respectable for a car as heavy as an Omega.
A good run by both car and driver. :y
Is it manual or auto?

I guess the cross-bolted mains held up.. shame the rest of the engine block parted company from them ;D
Watching a few more videos it seems fairly common - where do these guys get their money? There's probably tens of thousands in those engines.. :o

Let me get my spanners out. I'll fix that in a jiffy. Nothing a pair of mole grips,duct tape and silicon sealant can't fix. ::)

Yep. And what do you do when it's finished? Take it to a track and put a huge grin on your face? Nope. Try to plough a field with a rather great block of concrete. ::)
That said, I enjoyed this entrant to the Welland tractor pull last year. ;D
