When these two parts should be connected, that kind of ends the day. Making more power than the diff can handle.

Hi, Mark here. As we head into this weekends Hot Rod Drags with the Willy's, I thought I would let you know about another race im taking on next year. I have taken on the challenge of running the 2027 London Marathon for a local charity Headway East Northants.
Headway East Northants supports adults living with acquired brain injuries, helping people rebuild confidence, independence and their quality of life, while also providing vital support for families and carers. It's a cause that makes a genuine difference to people's lives, and I'm proud to be running in their colours.
Running 26.2 miles will be the biggest physical challenge I've ever taken on, but the real challenge is raising as much as possible to support the amazing work Headway East Northants does every day.
If you're in a position to support my fundraising, no matter the amount, it would mean a great deal to both me and the charity. And if donating isn't possible, a like, comment or share will help spread the word just as much.
Thank you to everyone who supports me along the way—it really does make a difference. 🏃‍♂️💙

If you would like to donate over the weekend, i plan to have a donation bucket in the pits.

In April 2027, I'll be taking on the incredible challenge of running the TCS London Marathon in support of Headway East Northants, a local charity that makes a life-changing difference to people livin

Dragstalgia 2026, a weekend of mixed emotions and thoughts.

Nostalgia Nats ended after 1 run when we torched a head, so after repairing, a freshen up and an upgrade on the fuel pump from an 80 gallon to a 110 gallon pump we were ready to try again at Dragstalgia.

As always at Dragstalgia we run with the Willys Wars. The weekend ended up being harder than we thought trying to get the car setup with the new fuel system. Changes made to the setup over 4 runs over the weekend, showing improvement from 28 seconds on Saturday to 15 on Sunday.

So despite not hitting the numbers we wanted, we made 4 runs over the weekend, with our last pass late Sunday afternoon. Its been a long time since we have made that many passes and taken the car home in one bit. Its still running to rich, but better to build up on it than blow it up. It sounds great in the pits but undet load on the track is a different story.

A big shout out to Alan Skipp, Ford Skipp and Matthew Hollins on that awesome run. Someone say a 6 next?
Also to Dave Nelson and John Nelson, great to see you both back at the track with the car.

A big thanks to everyone who stopped by to speak, offer help or advice, Santa Pod Raceway staff, track & pit marshalls for an awesome event.

Finally to our team who give up there time to help and be apart of this dream.

Well unfortunately our weekend is over, went to put some fresh plugs in this morning and the back two didn't want to come out. Also spotted it looks like it has started to push the copper head gasket on one side (Probably why it pushed oil out the manifold). Theory is she was possibly slightly to lean on the run.

Oh well, 7 weeks to get get her stripped down and refreshed for Dragstalgia. Good job Kim is retired.

We made a pass Friday evening, didn't go to plan though as i caught the trans brake button again on the hit (10.5 @ 139mph). When we got it back to the pits we noticed an oil leak from the manifold, so we spent the evening pulling the top of the motor off to reset the silicone bead on the china walls. Fingers crossed we go again today.

Looking at the forecast for the weekend, the plans have changed slightly. We now plan on making a run in friday nights session. (Typical british bank holiday weather)
