I start on second gear and have about 100 Km/h before I shift to 3`rd gear. Fear enough the GTR had a bad start but it was fun any way I did not think I could beat him on standard tires. I have beaten GTR before but then on slicks witch is a different story.  :) By the way the Picture in the end With the rear wing is just for show I am missing a bracket to fit it permanently it is on order as we speak, I recon it will slow the car Down a bit NeXT year I may fit the compressor Upgrade :-D

201m drag race, are most cars even in 3rd at that point lol

Quite impressive to see what he's managing on road tyres.

Do wonder whether the weight saving of removing the wing (who needs high speed downforce on a drag strip?),  might help improve things, likewise the windscreen.

The flip side on both is the extra weight may have helped with traction.  But since they're at the front, doubt they would.

the atom had a 0.5 sec head start as the gtr driver was day dreaming.

The 245hp Atom is not slow and sertanly no beginners car arround the track  O0 Even With standard Toyo tires it will beat most cars arround the track and on Dragraces :-)
