How fast were they aiming at going ?

[Corey]

The record for the class they were in, "Blown Gas Coupe", was 204mph. Which is what they were aiming for but with 800+ HP tune with 35+ psi boost, special turbo diesel 6th gear with 230mph capability, who know's what they could've achieved???

Damn rain!!!

Do you really have to ask where? I thought it would be obvious by now?

The answer is on the rear door at the bottom of it.

Americans for you??? the rule book was quite a challenge to over come. 034 had spent a huge amount of time getting the car ready but they still had to tweak stuff to get through the "rule book"

The car spent 6 hours going through tech, and I quote from MG

issues in tech were:

1 - Door sized window net needed to be better secured, solved by cutting and welding a seat belt buckle to the support frame

2 - Door and steering locks needed to be disabled

3 - Fire bottles better secured, brackets safety wired

4 - Anti-sub strap on front of seat was attached to seat, the slider pin was disabled and a bolt passed through it so the seat could not slide forward

5 - Tow strap added, 200mph class cars are not allowed to be driven around the pits, they must be towed.

6- CB radio needed in chase car, picked one up in Wendover.
