just got a ZOOM mag from the milkbar, thought you guys might like to know bout th 1200's that got a mention

- rigolis fiat powered 1200 cops a nice photo from behind on launch with front wheel lifting
caption - "Vince Rigoli's 8-second ute is a crowd favorite thanks to its hard launches"

- a purple 1200 coupe gets photoed but apparently didnt complete a pass (Paul Staneks's apparently)

- a blue 13B coupe made a 8.55@154mph to make the top ten using methanol fuel

not bad 3 twelvies out of about 30 cars photoed for mag, there was all sorts of other stuff there quickest was a 7.78 second open wheel full on drag car

i cant believe when i watch cable tv which we just got sport on, the american drags have all these cars running 4 second passes at what works out to be well over 300 kmh, yet its rare to hear of a 7 second car here, or am i living under a rock?, these american things are obviously extreme drag cars which i dont think ive seen anthing like in aus but still are we really that far behind as far as drag racing goes over here?

these things are awesome, they just go so damn fast!, if they get any wheelspin they give up because the tyres just light up like mad and the other guys just about over the line already, and its not one or two cars doing this theres heaps of them in a couple of diffrent style cars all competing against each other like its an every day thing
