For anyone in France on the 1st weekend of October 2024, comme and watch Turbo Slug Fiero take on a bunch of other powerfull cars. (Up to a 1000HP!?)
This will be at the Guiscriff aerodrome on a "no-prep" 1/4 mile track. Should be fun !!

Me too, Patrick.
Drag racing is what the car does best.
There will be a couple of other videos from here untill then, but they're less interesting than simply gunning it down the 1/4 mile!

Heh heh... yeah, I'll never understand why anyone would want to purposely limit their video(s) to using
a third of the screen.
Good luck at the event, Rafe. Looking forward to seeing some (proper) videos shot of your races!

As we say in french: "Fait chier!"
The weather conditions this week end are too bad. The event is cancelled/postponed. No new date for the moment...

OK, it seems as if the big event (for me
) is back on.
At first it should have been in May, but the organisers finally settled for June:
Turbo Slug can't wait to shred it's tyres!!

In order to set up the car more like a real dragster for the upcoming races, I've decided to put some big balloon rubber on the rear.
These tyres are really cheap at about 80€ each, but are good for high speed applications.
They remind me of the Cooper Cobras I had on my '77 Trans Am, but instead of just being "T" rated, they are good for 270km/h with a "W" rating.
More pictures to compare with the Toyo semi-slicks and the Avons (actually on the car):

Rafe, I know you're into drag racing your car... but do those expansive sidewalls on the 255/60/15 tires in the back affect the Fiero's cornering ability compared to something like 225/60/15 tires?
I like the look though. Reminds me of the tires on the cars of my youth.

Patrick,
It's like driving a space hopper when we were young!
They grip quite well, but it's not at all like a good set of semi-slicks😜😉

Will be doing the Mosquitos Drag Race at Lurcy-Levis (France) this week end.
Wish me luck because it's a 1200km round trip to get there and back!
