Sure you can,
1st Heath Campbell 51.10
2nd Christine Campbell 51.63
3rd Stephen Sauer 52.10
4th Col Mayman 52.18
5th Glen Torrens 58.22
Heath also broke Christine,s old record, which i pointed out to him was not good husband etiquette.
I gave Christine a big motivation speech before she went out after Heath broke her record but she just missed out.
But beleive me she had a red hot go as only Christine does.

I bought the heads of Larry many years ago.
He purchased the heads of another guy before that.
Not sure who originally did the porting job, maybe Larry knows, but they have been changed and improved many times since i,ve had them.
Every time i decide the motor needs a freshen up, Larry throws all these ideas at me and off course who would argue with Larry so i say do it.
He,s the engine guru and i look after the rest.
Wrecker Racer, that is one smick looking beetle. A credit to Glen.
Cheers Col

I can understand you thinking that,
Have a close look, you will see it,s actually the dust etc at side of track and as the car gets closer to the right of the track it gets worse.
My tail pipe is at right of car.

mmmmmmmmmmm yes quiet a few rpm,s there.
I did say sorry to the motor after that run, then swapped out the msd rpm limiter chip to a larger one.
The motor understood, i hope. LOL.
