I went out t the Bangkok Drag Avenue last night to pay my shop rent. My friend Khun O had his Nissan Silvia out for shake down runs for the first time with his imported 632 cu.in. big block Chevy. It was fun to hear the roar of a race big block V-8 again.
Khun O checking last minute details.
This is what the new 1000hp, 632 cu.in. dual quad, NOS injected Chevy big block looks like in Khun O's racer.
His car drew a lot of interest and excitement from the Thai race fans.
Khun O ready to do his burn out. Testing a new race combination, especially with such a major increase in horsepower from the last engine combination, is tricky. It went well.
Khun O's able crew push the racer back after the burn-out.
A little sideways right off the line . . .
. . . but Khun O pulled it back on line and made a straight run. This is the first run with this engine and was considered a "Shake Down Run" to make sure all systems were working.
