Sounds good I'll give you a run I'll be happy if I can get a 10.5sec pass from good old Buz.

I'll let you know how I go when I have a test run at Gunnedah in a couple of weeks.

Well mine is an old 6volt gear box and the bell housings been grinded away to fit the 1916 with a 12 volt flywheel in and an old standard vw clutch out of another bug🤪😂

Rose , you need to through away all the extra weight . Bumbers ,interior ,side glass, anything that isn't used for racing !Less weight will look after clutch and box !
Having fun is what it's about .

Rose, if you do use a stinger then make sure you go up in your jets............otherwise you will lean out!

I do have a stinger to go on it.
At the moment with the exhaust that's on it, it shoots flames out of it with a muffler on it 😂

Comes down to the skill of the driver as well 😂😂

I wouldn't mind taking it up to Gunnedah at the end of the month to give the v8 boys a run.

Buz did me proud. He got me a trophy for best reaction at Gunnedah last month .002 out of 50 odd competitors.
Yippee.
