Hey Ian, there are a couple of yellow marks on them..?
Hey Stanley, I thought it was going to be worse, I might try to get a new diff and some bigger axles.
I going to try for another TNT in about 3-4 weeks.

They must have been ready to snap hey, I have a video of the launch and you would barely have been pulling 4500rpm... Granted, you might have a few
more runs on those axles than me but my engine was more or less the same power, same slicks but with a heavier car and heavier wheels and I was
launching at closer to 6500rpm and was lucky enough not to break any axles... I reckon they were rooted! You do have me a little worried now as to
whether I'm going to break mine first run out now!

Quick update, WPVW supplied new HD axles that are 3 inches shorter and i have had to move the ladder bars in to suit. Wayne also sent up a pair of
Chris Bolton's alloy wheels (great prices and super fast freight, thanks guys!). I was going to run them as 4 stud but swapping over to the 4 stud
was going to be a hassle so i had Dave Butler machine them down and into 5 stud. Dave also installed an alloy spool for me. Massive thanks to Dave for
fitting me in between other work!!!!
I had the tyres mounted today. These are perfect and took a tiny amount of counter weight.
I also had a very generous offer from Michael Nash and took him up on it, i now have a driving suit boots and gloves. Im now ready for a TNT hoping
for Wed next week.
thanks
Frosty

Way to go Frosty!.... I just paid a small fortune for a pair of 8" ERCO's from the Laufers.... Tough to get rims like that here, and importing can
be very exy.... You done good!

ok i'm all back together now and have to wait for a tnt, rear wheels just stick out a little to much. (off set is just a little out) i need to know
who can make or anyone has some to sell some widened fibreglass guards. i need a guard that is stock looking but widened on the part the bolts to the
body. I have welded 25mm to the inside and this will do for the moment.
Thanks
Jason

Hey there, that was my quickest for the night.
It ended up having a miss and it felt like the limiter was coming on, so it is already time for an upgrade. Out go the stock pushrods, rocker shafts
and springs. I was also thinking that the points in the distributor might be bouncing too so thats going too.
I was quicker on all runs that this motor has previously done also the car runs straight and feels great to drive
60' 1.720 I was only giving it about 80% off the line to.
330 5.30
1/8 8.40
1/4 13.68
Mph 100.90
The other good thing for the night was I can sit in lane one to wait with the andra cars , that's worth the membership soon as the were two cars you
are called forward.
Thanks for the comments, man this fun!!!!!!!
