I'll make it a wallpaper when I'll get shots of a transbrake launch.. Should get the wheels at least 1 foot off the ground with the transbrake...

Way to go Olivier!!!


I owe it to my motor to keep an eye on that car!

My 383 misses the light weight, decent gearing, and good launch RPM.


I keep telling my motor, "Someday lil stroker, someday papa's gonna buy you a lightwieght track car with a rear end you won't break."

With the right gearing and a lightweight vehicle, I don't see a reason why you would not get the wheels off the ground with my old motor..

Oliver, do you ever race at Orlando Dragway in Bithlo? It is on the east side of Orlando http://www.speedworlddragway.com/Information.html I live about 40 minutes east of it, but haven't been there in awhile. If I remember correctly, it was Joe427 who said he raced there. If you ever drive over I'd like to know, maybe get a few wheel-up pics.

I actualy went to Orlando Dragway a few weeks ago... I usually go to Bradenton because the track is more sticky... They prep the track much better there..
