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.
