9.005 @ 151 mph IRS FD from the UK

Not my car of course but Chris Impeys Green FD
Following on from last years thread
https://www.rx7club.com/rotary-drag-racing-167/9-61-%40-147-mph-fd-uk-704856/

Chris has improved massively just missing out on a 8 second time slip
He backed up this time with a following 9.04 time.
He now runs a Jericho box

Not yet. You still got some time left!

PS. There's a reason why everyone as of sometime place the oil and coolant recovery tanks in the hatch/trunk area. It can prevent a very dangerous situation.

The pics are from the weekend before,when the bottom of the jerico gearbox blew off.Exploded the input drive gear,for the second time! It is hard to believe a box purpose built for drag racing can be so fragile.It is the weakest part of the car.

A hard hitting clutch is bad for most tranny's.. This is why most use mcleod clutches.

I think Tim last told me the weight is about 1100kg 2425lbs but this was some time ago since then I know more bit's were removed/replaced to save weight.
I think it's probably about 1100kg 2425lbs inc driver.
Best part is this is only at 1.75 bar boost.

Huge J port seems to doing the trick. They should be running 2 bar this weekend.
I think traction at track will be bad though, we shall.
Two cars are gunning for 8's this weekend. Hopefully I can fix my camcorder in time, if so will post some good action Sunday or Monday.
