Been aware of it for a while and I don't think anyone else is saying they've not seen it before. :huh:

Well done you for seeing it race though.

Post by: Hulmie on 21 October 2011, 22:22: think it was originally in a 67 victor and shot a rod at pod in 2007 at PVW. Was a 1000bhp monster at start and used to have terminal speed of 189mph

A guy I know built the body for that, very talented... does lots of our race car stuff too.

I think the original shell was chopped, channeled and sectioned, and then used as a "plug" to take moulds for CF panels,
Body was built by Dale Edmonds at DRE Composites
