The last race was from a standing start, with Robwig starting them all off in "Grease" style  
So they all had the same start.
Truth of the matter is if we like it or not is that "The Champs"  MX5 gets of the mark quicker.
If the strip had have been longer I do think a couple of Omega's would have caught and overtaken "The Champ" being fair.
Jaime's MV6 auto went well and sounded brilliant, Mike Dundee's manual which looks lovely and sounded awesome also I do think would have caught "The Champ".
The "Window Licker Van" went well for a weasel

Yes I do have a video on my phone but don't know how to upload it onto the Forum yet but will have ago

[nick v6]

you could of said you was doing a bit of drag racing i would of be up for it and had a bit of fun

me and vx1 was talking about it but didnt know if it was aloud

[Dusty]

You men drivers are just so slow.
MX-5's are great fun ,but they are not fast.
Do I really need to show all you slowcoaches how to dispatch an mx-5 in a straight line.

Think you may need to put your money where your mouth is Dusty and come to the next one and show "The Champ" how it is done

MX5 benefits when it has a decent amount of fuel in the tank, really needs the weight over it's wheels, The last one I drove (when the snow was on the ground!) was entertaining to say the least when it had less than half a tank!

[Elite Pete]

i bet it would of been interesting with a manual v6

There was one, 3.0 Manual estate ex police.

[tmx]

its all about  power to weight and a mazda has a better power to weight ratio than an omega does !

Looknee best way to link video is to upload it to youtube then link it to the forum

I think the race is the dark one

I wonder if my 2.6 would have beat it?

I have managed 7.8 0-60 and this is before the porting and 3.0 cams

Nope, it wouldn't, not on that short stretch from standing start (where the hairdresser made his gains). In fact, I reckon he'd leave you for dust at any achievable speed on that stretch.

2 Omegas really impressed me on that larking about - my own, and MikeDundees.

My own felt good and strong, sounded great in the cabin, anyone care to comment on what it sounded like from outside?  I reckon by 153k 3.0 auto was about similar to Hotel21's 67k 3.2 auto, though he won due to a cleaner start.

MikeDundee's, a MDTM'd modified 2.6 manual, was similar to my 3.0 auto, with mine winning purely on a better start.

Of the 3 attempts against the mazda, 1 I aborted as a car was driving the other way up the strip, another I tried starting from a patch of gravel with obvious results, and another was driver error  .  Ignoring the aborted attempt, the fact EP managed to get his going quicker, I would have to conceed defeat graciously , but always up for a rematch

Hmm mine will be similar spec to Mikes when finished and to be honest I am good at launching autos, I think I will have to go next year and try it.

[tmx]

would this head refurbing & porting work on a 3.0 v6 would it make any difference?

You will definately not stand a chance next year.... Pete will have a 3.0 Omega engine in then

Yes  

[albitz]

should have took the fizzy Daz,could have showed em some proper acceleration.
