Earlier this evening dominic rigoli ran a 9.21 @147 mph secs at willowbank slaughtering the previous best of iirc 9.41. and some mad bloke in a tricked up rotary ran a 7.6 sec qtr in a 3 rotor with 3 turbos it was mad, and the best bit theres more tommorow this was just qualifying. Rob mac.
some r32 skyline from nz ran 8.60 iirc and there are fwd hondas in the 9S.!!

That is excellent, but also slightly mad!!

 

Looks like some quick cars there :d

 

555mac, do you have any video or web site links to these guys?

When i saw the title i thought Mr Wallis had finished his car

 

lol @ andy

 

I could bo wrong, but I think Dominic works with Tony Rigoli at TRP http://www.rigoliracing.com.au

Vince is Tony's brother, but they parted some time ago.

Mark.

 

Mark i think u know more than you let on!!
Well today the new record is 9.13 @ 148 !!!
Some mad guy in a triple turbo triple rotor deafened me as i watched him do a burnout, im of to find some aftersun and a couple of beers.Bob mac.

 

Is there going to be a vid of this run put up? Had a quick look on the website but they're still stating the record as 9.98@141mph which appears to have been comfortably beaten!!

Great result, what gearbox was the car running and what basic engine spec?

 

Awesome results - according to the 'calculators' this equates to at least 750bhp...


...at the wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!


There are also rumours that they have had 1100bhp at the flywheel - wonders if this is the same engine!

They do like the Nitrous out there

 

There is a rumour alleging 200 nos and 2 engines 1 for qualifying 1 for the main event. Car is 4wd auto on slicks, well stripped no seats etc lexan windows, turbo is mounted in front of left hand cam pulleys on custom exhaust "obviously" and engine rad is where the top mount intercooler would normally reside.engine horsepower must be similar to his old white car as terminals are about the same.It looked almost boring, plenty revs lights change engine ramps up car leaves the line and seems almost to keep the same rate of accelaration for the duration of the run you should have been there to see the 3 rotors insane. Rob mac.

 

650 flywheel bhp by my calcs
