powerful supercharged with<br />
nitrous “new Suspect” V8<br />
Lumina. On its first official run,<br />
Shaheen had an unfortunate<br />
episode which saw the<br />
programmed nitrous come in<br />
earlier than expected, whilst<br />
still under wheel spin, causing<br />
the rear to come around<br />
uncontrollably. The Lumina<br />
swung around stopped along<br />
the fencing centimetres away<br />
from the crowd. Two gals<br />
sustained minor injuries, but<br />
luckily nothing severe. The<br />
Lumina returned to the strip<br />
later on to set the second<br />
fastest speed of the <strong>day</strong>, on<br />
four wheels, claiming Class A<br />
honours with 227km/h. Kevin<br />
Burgess in his neat cabriolet<br />
BMW was fourth overall and<br />
second in Class A with a<br />
turbocharged 211km/h. Many<br />
people might have thought<br />
that Dawie Joubert's Ariel<br />
Atom was a Formula 1 car.<br />
Coupled to an awesome<br />
sound this pipe-car<br />
accelerated its way to<br />
205km/h, claiming third place<br />
in Class A.<br />
Class B saw stiff competition<br />
with Johannes Pretorius' E28<br />
M5 turbocharging its way<br />
down the (newly resurfaced)<br />
800metres to clock the fastest<br />
speed on the <strong>day</strong>, on four<br />
wheels of 234km/h. That's<br />
awesomely quick, in<br />
anybody's driver seat. Rudy<br />
