Default Cortina launch from the ford nats...

Sorry I didnt know where to post this...
Maybe it should be in the drag section but someone can always move it...

Better late than never, so here it is....

Sorry I dont know how to get it in slow motion.
Also the original is better quality.

After watching that car do that every run I wouldn't go for a ride, he keeps the boot in to on the back wheels for so long....
No wheelie bars I hope it never flips..

Thats awesome... not something you'd want to be doing all the time, surely it'd have to bend something eventually.

But would be good enough to put a smile on your face if you were feeling a little down.

Brings back memories of the orange Cortina WOG-007. That pulled similar wheel stands.

Ask one of the site sponsors, C&V Performance. They have had a LOT to do with that car. It was originally built by a mate of mine.

Last time it raced it had been fully tubbed and ran 8.30's or 8.40's with a nitrous Windsor. Vic from C&V was driving. I believe its now turboed, but i'll let Con or Vic fill in the gaps.
