Just keep an eye on Rodderz as he has been known to play with the handbrake if he thinks it is a bit quicker than his hay hauler. LOL

Cheers Ray.

Yes, I think Ray or your good self could only answer if OFR members sanction the turning of the odometer 1/8th at a time?

They were great to watch, so many old muscle cars just roar power and big carburettors..
400 meters would have made it so much better..
yes OFR wont sanction 200 meters events..
an Auto Boss 1st gear dont wind out until the 200 meter mark..lol..

Someone tell me how more than 70% of this thread is utter crap and does not relate to the initial question?

Personally I think the challenge, better called than wars, can only be a good thing to get the most out of the cars, tuners and products
