John Cunliffe to test Funny Car @ Calder Park

It is now confirmed that John Cunliffe will test and tune his AA/FC 2000 Pontiac Firebird at the Calder Park Re Opening LOSD / Street Series meeting on Sunday 7th September 2008.

The car has a 540ci Merlin pro motor with a tbs 14/71 hi helix blower on methanol.

The car runs a Lenco drive and 9 1/2 full floater rear end. Sean Mullins built the car and the body is a 2000 Pontiac Firebird. The injection is all enderle and flowed for approx 2100-2200hp at this tune.

John will run in supercharged outlaws and AA/FC for the first season and then in Top Alcohol next year.

They have a new spare Carbon Fibre Body and a BAE -5 sitting in the shed for next year when they decide to step it up.

John says he is really looking forward to having a local track again so they can compete with interstate teams that have the convenience of testing at their local tracks without towing 10+ hours just to try a new setup.

Johns Sponsors are :

Bannockburn Panels

Geelong Soda Workz

Winter and Taylor Motor Group

That's a proper funny car.

I'm glad you're not another person taking the piss at the Territory running.

Gate lady "Just spectating mate?", "no I'm running", "hahaha, good one, that'll be one spectator"

Scrutineer walks passed to the blokes behind who point back at me. He walks back and says "sorry mate, I thought you were the tow car for the guys behind."

My car isn't funny, is it....

Now that's a funny story..

The territory is funny because no one expects it to get out there & run quick times!

13.5 was quicker than most of the clapped out things there on the night. We'll be in the 12's (bloody should be) as soon as Calder opens back up, so it'll be more of a laugh.

Wayne what day are they reopening Calder?
