Just before it was bent it was doing 53s on 888s. When he first got it I did 58s or 57s on road tyres but that was with the old engine and Eric was managing 55s I think on slicks

There's a Smart car that hill climbs at Prescott, I think it has a Toyota engine but don't quote me, but it pulls wheelies away from the line!
