Yes it's 1/8th mile. Apparently it runs 7.90s in quarter.

yeah, that USA has heaps to much power the manual trans and it gets a bit loose at the end of the track being so lite.
But their always trying to run quicker 😊

Alan fore's car still for sale?? Last time I looked he had $88k US on it. Awesome bit of equipment!!

THAT CAR HAS RUN 148MPH AT 1/8 MILE AND 189MPH AT THE 1/4 MILE,
sorry caps lock.

It is not light either.
Over 2000lbs to stay within the rules for the 2850, or so, cc engine size they originally used.
A little lighter now the engine has a shorter stroke.
