UK street legal FD runs 8.82 @ 160mph
James Willday just ran an 8.82@160mph in his FD at Santa Pods Easter Thunderball event. He drives the car to the event and back home again......
Massive congrats to James, Kerim and Jaydee. Almost the IRS rotary world record.:icon_tup::icon_tup: Live webcam of the racing - http://www.eurodragster.com/live/webcam/default.asp Video of James run to follow hopefully. |
I bet that's one hell of a ride on the streets.
|
Rob Blackshaw ran a 9.13@152mph also street driven, at the same event.:icon_tup::icon_tup:
Going to be a good year for the rotaries here in the UK i think. Not the greatest quality vid - vid is of the 9.15 sec run. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qd6-...ature=youtu.be Rotaries rule...... |

awesome achievement.
Is this the same car we are talking about, that is street legal? http://www.hauserracing.com/pages/James-Willday.aspx |
That's the one!
|
He just clocked an 8.81 pass at 160.....and yes he drove it there.
|
Roll bars are street legal in the UK?
|
Yes, you could have a race car with lights, wipers and indicators and it could be road legal.

Also this car is a regular bridge potrted motor ! No pp here! Also his 60 ft was 1.45....so still room for improvement. And let's not forget its only running 1.8 bar......imagine what it wold do if he nailed the 60ft and they upped the boost......trust me that IRS record would be history now........And its a H pattern.......LOL ....imagine if it was clutchless:lol::lol::lol: |
Lets see the vid of the 8.82@160mph!!
Congrats to the crew!! |
And people say hks transmissions are not ideal for drag racing!
|
One vid from James of the run, camera guys didnt catch the finish, I think there maybe move vids to come

Tuff! That's some crazy mph. 20B or 13B? Was that pass on pump gas? AI?
|
13B twin rotor, I believe they are running race gas with some water injection
here is a slow mo vid of the full run good quality with the actual time on the lighting board as proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5JbQtmnNSM |
