Anyone see this tonight? What a load of s*it the race was. How did it only manage a 17+ second quarter with a 270bhp V8 and another
150bhp of nitrous. What I think happened is, unchecked V8 from old wreck was knackered, with the drag racing engine expert there they didn't even bother to take the heads off and check it. As for the nitrous, did anyone even see anything being connected to the engine, never mind setting it up with the correct jets. I don't think it was even connected to the engine. With the above taken into account it stood absolutely no chance in beating the custom built dragster which mysteriously threw a conrod between getting there and getting to the start line. You would have thought they would have shown the damage but all we saw was dirty oil dripping onto an old rag, would a custom built drag V8 be full of dirty oil? The replacement opponent vehicle was a VW Camper van with tuned 1800 engine, meant to be quicker than a Golf GTI but still only managed a 18+ second quarter, not quite in the same league as the original opponent. If they wanted a challenge why didn't they just race against Dialynx's short Quattro Turbo which was in the background when they were at the track, of course like the other dragster it wouldn't have been much of a race. It would have been better just to give them a chance to get everything sorted right and it may have been a better race, as it was it only just made it to the finish line before a water hose burst.
