Can anyone give me an honest answer as to the speed the saloon and super saloon guys are hitting on the straights at Baypark or a track with similar length straights?
for what its worth, at one meeting last season I was doing a shave over 100 passing the pace car on my way round to pick up the next sprint car........ not bad for 1950kg with only 250hp.

The saloons don't carry speedos so it would be hard to tell, but I am guessing 90/100/110 Km/h/?. What car have you got?.

There is one of those surfs which sounds insane going around the track. I noticed that a couple of them had aftermarket guages in them, what do they need them for?.

ahh yeah, that would be mine, it's got a 2JZ 1996 Supra engine in it, hence the sound and the after market guages. Come next speedway season it'll have a dirty great turbo on the side and it'll be pump close to twice the current power.
The other grey surf has a 1UZFE toyota v8 in it

yeah i'll be there, its essentially a bog std 2JZGE, just running a Haltech EFI system, K & N filter, healthy exhuast system and BP 98 Octane.
Next season it'll have turbo pistons in it, larger injectors, large turbo and front mount intercooler. should be good for around 450hp at 12 psi or there abouts.

 Looks good. Is it 4WD or RWD?, what was the reasoning for putting the supra motor in it?.
