Hey guys,
They may enter a better E/T,but not because they out performed you. With the laws of your country,those cars are mostly ALL ILLEGAL. If you want to compare E/T,they need to carry the same weight and pass the same inspections you carry. All we have to pass is a safety inspection,lights,horn,ect... Any motor size is ok and not regulated,you could get my drag car to pass inspection by adding lights to it. 12 sec Aussie street car is awsome!!!!!
