APC Drag Evo runs an 8 now with video!!

Yesterday we had the Mini Jamboree here in Brisbane Australia and we both raced our evos.I did 1 pass and tore the rear diff pinion out of my car(woohoo)so that was me for the day.
Nick on the other hand ran a new pb
1st pass was a 9.13 @ 145. This was his first ever pass with his new rear end.
2nd pass he stalled it and drove it through
3rd pass 8.76 @ 166.7 mph with a 1.48 60 foot 8)
4th pass 8.93 @ 169.4 mph with a 1.58 60 foot
So we were very happy with how the new set up( now running methanol) went, finaly an 8 second pass.
Its back to the drawing board for me as I havent had a full pass since September
pics and videos soon
