Brian's VL Walkinshaw Drag Car

Brian Bennet is the proud owner of this VL Walkinshaw. The vehicle has been completely setup for drag racing with a full tubular racing chassis and full cage. The vehicle also has wheelie bars, parachute and lots more. All I can say when I first saw this weapon of mass destruction is Holy F#@k. Running a naturally aspirated engine without NOS for the first run pulled Low 8 second passes. A real weapon guys. The photo's say more than words ever could. Unfortunately there is some bad news about this car. It has been STOLEN by some low-life. Somebody took it with the carrier and now Brian has been left to start all over again. To make things worse it was un insured meaning that approximately $200,000 has been lost. If there is anybody who has any information about this car please contact the webmaster and the information will be passed on to Brian and the police. The vehicle has been featured all over the country in magazines and is well known in the drag racing community. Here are some of the specs on the running gear.

* 1012HP (755 KW) . The car ran a 7.97 @ 171MPH
* 505 cubic inch Big block Chev V8
* Two speed Power glide
* Ford nine inch Diff, shortened, braced, full floating rear end and pinion support and a full spool
* Full cage
* Four link rear end
* Fiberglass front end
* Full Tubs
* Front runners

And much more which we cannot reveal as the owner requested. It is a shame that some low dog with no regard for people's possessions would stoop so low and steal such a great machine. Every dog has his day and one day your day will come !

Brian thankfully is building a new car now. A VE commodore which we look forward to seeing and the site wishes him all the best in the future with his endeavours. We hope you have enjoyed reading about this car. A really fast machine with all the right stuff underneath to give awe inspiring performance.
