Well done to Phil Cooper!
Have a look at the video and then think about what it's like racing seven other cars from a clutch start on a 1/4 mile oval on grass/mud 
For info, this is a Class 9 which is car engine only to a maximum of 2060cc with no forced induction and running on pump fuel.
Excellent video!
Pah, NS Dev's class 9 does that in the length of his garage..........
although if you've seen his garage its as big as the NEC
(damned impressive when you remember top gear where trying to get the record in a F1 car at Earls court last year)
Yup, they managed 81mph 
Decent Hillclimb cars are doing 60mph at 64ft distance from a standing start.
I would have thought Willem Toet's Pilbeam (did a 1.64 sec 64 ft at Shelsley) would have taken the record no problem.
Rotten Sods! Never invited me to play, I can hit 90 in the length of my drive!!!
Trouble is then I wake up!
Good little vid, but am I missing something?
'indoor speed record' so find a bigger room!
The Mastercare depot up the road here must be 1000m long.... Can I use my Blackbird
Wow! Thats quick. What engine is it Nick?

3.5L judd V8 Turboed!!
He feeds his tyres with softener so he is known as chemical willy!!
Top line Hillclimb cars have been faster accelerating than F1 cars for years now.
