Just happened over the weekend at the Santa Pod Summer Nationals.

Fair old weapon!!!

Impressive car, street registrable over here, don't think our dickheads in power would allow it, cage for one

Might be wrong but I think he has two that look similar, one is a pan car and potentially street able and this one.

Yeah this is the tube frame car. The one in England is a street car, still pan based. I think that's run an 8.6, so bloody quick regardless !!

Richie Webb. Same UK owner to both cars. He is becoming a European hero and celebrity with us.

Ah righto. Wasn't aware he had two of them.

Just thought it was a progression of the one car.

How fast has his original street cabby gone? Low 9's?

Either way, It puts a shame to alot of street & drag cars (both VW & V8's) here & the States.

Quick search reveals all

Yes two cars, the first was a floorpan car ran low 9's Street Reg'd and driven.

New is a chassis car, low 8's and running on alcahol, has tax and test but not really street driven or legal IMO.
