Well we finally made it. A 9's FTO you can't believe how relieved I am to finally get one
I have to say I couldn't have done it without all my sponsors


NR Autosport | The Drive Shaft Shop | PPG Gearboxes | IPG Parts and yes the wife - S1 Chiropractic I need my back adjusting again this morning after climbing in and out of the car/cage all weekend

We are now the 3rd fastest of all time in the UK for FWD cars, and 13th in Europe.
now to push on further into the low 9's.


Thanks to all those who have helped out as pit crew along the way
Libby, James, Nick, Andy, Dave, Cressy, etc...etc... the list goes on.


and thanks to all those that have helped develop endless new parts for the FTO
Nick@NR, Guy@CPL, Frank@DSS, John Sleath to name but a few.


Here are 3 of the runs from the weekend


9.7@156



And finally a BIG thanks to all those who have helped out as pit crew along the way, I couldn't have done it without you
Libby, James, Nick, Andy, Dave, Cressy, etc...etc... the list goes on.

Nice work, was there anything special done to get you that 1.574 60ft time as I remember you were struggling in that area a few years back?

My problem was 7" wheels with 10" tyres, needed wider wheels.
