GF's cousins VN V6 Supercharged runs 14.1 at 91mph with 1.5 60 footers same gearbox and same diff ;)

hahaha, good on ya .. ill just take a water tanker

i think most of the number mix ups are also cause by peoply actually handwriting every time slip. i think a $200 investment into a docket printer might be worth while, then again i am not sure which stone age the timing equipment came from and is capable of using a printer :S
