was drag racing again this weekend..

first..

we had to rebuild the gearbox on Friday (snapped the main output shaft)refitted the box Saturday morning so we could ran in the afternoon..

first run (warm up run to make sure the gearbox worked)we ran a 11.30 @ 137 mph

my last run (cost me a head gasket)

we managed a 10.85 @ 136 mph

the engine is now stripped ready for the new H/G
