Foot buried into the bulkhead through Clark Curve, should be on the rev limiter no later than a third down Brabham Straight

Easy

I can hit 120 in a cec. More weight and less power than a bec.

I would look on you tube for in car footage.

What date are you on? Im doing the 17th.

eddie99 - 24/9/12 at 07:43 PM

Yeah 130 should be doable in a BEC, Anyway again what date? Im thinking of booking on in october sometime.

What a fantastic looking car!!!Did you do all the aluminium bodywork yourself? English wheel? Top work. Sorry to drift 'off topic'

number-1 - 24/9/12 at 08:30 PM

The bodywork was done by bob at conceptracing.co.uk he's bloody good at aluminium work!!!

daniel mason - 24/9/12 at 08:43 PM

MRLuke - 24/9/12 at 08:51 PM

The bodywork on that looks fantastic!

number-1 - 24/9/12 at 08:54 PM

Cheers folks. It's a work in progress and will hopefully be drivable for brands on November

bi22le - 25/9/12 at 11:56 AM

jeffw - 25/9/12 at 02:54 PM

Hi

Take a look here. RGB- Race vids from Brands Some of the vids have data logging on so you can see speed G-force and what gear.

Cheers Matt

JonT - 25/9/12 at 07:06 PM

Too much power in that Dax to be usable by the looks of it...

jeffw - 25/9/12 at 07:45 PM

I'll tell Duncan....he will be amused. He is currently 2nd on the How Fast competition that MSV are running at Bedford.

Is he running on road tyres? If so, understandable, if not he's got some work to do!

Looks like the builder put the steering rack on upside down, the driver is forever turning left to go right...
