08.01.2022 Another video of the 6 second pass. The lenco wasn't in gear properly on first burnout attempt

07.01.2022 We finally got a chance to debut the Aussie Outlaw/ Outlaw Anglia on Saturday 5th of December 2020, and what a debut it was! The intention was to run some short... times to hopefully sort the car out for some full power runs at a future event. Well, apart from a loose air line to the shocks and a loose fuel fitting- there were no problems! FIRST HIT Obviously this would be a burnout and a 60' pass to identify any drivetrain, handling etc problems (and to settle the drivers nerves!). Well, the idiot behind the wheel couldn't even turn the tyres! Twice! After staging the car anyway, I let it go and it moved to the right a bit so I got out of it, resulting in a 1.112 60' time. After killing the engine I heard a loud hissing noise, that upon inspection was an air hose that had come out of the RHS rear shock- easy fix. We decided not to make any chassis adjustments for the next hit- blaming the air line ( and therefore soft shocks) for the right turn. SECOND HIT I got the tyres to turn! But backed out too early and messed it up, resulting in a dud burnout, if you could even call it that! I made it to half track and recorded a 1.093 60'/ 3.001 330' and a 4.543 660' @ 157mph. The Haltech data logger said that I got off it at 4.8 seconds but it still went 7.454@147 over the 1/4 mile. The car still moved right at the hit so we put a flat of preload in the 4 link. Brett also made a small change to the tune up. At this stage everyone was getting excited and the pressure was on for a full pass. This is where experience and know how comes in. Brett demanded that I go to the 1000' mark so that he could get some data to fit a tune up that would be safe all the way to the 1320. THIRD HIT I finally nailed the burnout! The car launched nice and straight and it recorded a 1.094 60'/ 2.985 330/ 4.513@160 to half track and 5.855 to the 1000'. This produced a 7.190@157 1/4 mile timeslip. Now everyone was really excited, can we run that 6 at our first outing? The next attempt resulted in a loose fuel fitting during the burnout, so the run was aborted FOURTH HIT While in the staging lanes it started to sprinkle with rain, making me uncomfortable about making what would be the last hit of the day. I suggested giving it a miss- we already had recorded a 7.19- lets be happy with that. Well, the crew was having none of that and man am I glad that I got overruled! After another pretty good (for me) burnout the car made a slow move right again but I think it was me this time, not the car. As the car shifted into 3rd I was thinking do I keep in it? The car felt beautiful so I drove it all the way to the finish line. I braced for the chutes to hit and wow, they hit hard! They lifted the slicks off the ground and bounced them a few times but eventually it settled down (might have to have another look at the anchor height). I turned the car off into the return road to wait for the crew to pick me up thinking to myself- was that a six? I've never ran one but it sure felt fast! The buggy finally appeared with the crew in it doing their best to look unexcited, it was at that point that I was pretty sure we had done it. As they got closer they cracked and shouted that not only was it a 6- it was also a 201 mph pass! WHAT A DAY!. See more

07.01.2022 Well it's not quite ready but Flatout Services would like to present the "Aussie Outlaw", a Flatout Services built, chromoly double rail 25-1 full chassis, carbon fibre bodied Anglia built to compete in OUTLAW ANGLIA DRAG RACING UK Outlaw Anglia and Supercharged Outlaws in Australia. It's powered by a Supercharged BAE Hemi, through a Dominator Torque Converters converter to a 3 speed Lencodrive transmission and a Flatout Services built Floater/Chromoly Sheetmetal / four link... rear end. There are a few people that I would like to thank for their input during this build- My great friend Neil Webb (Gonzo). At times we have wanted to kill each other, but you have stuck with me from the very first day,and you have been (and still are) an invaluable contributor and asset to this build. My lifelong friend Stephen Busch, you put your hand up to look after the body prep without even being asked. Unfortunately this morphed into countless body modifications and therefore a huge amount of work for you, but you also stuck with it right up to the end and we ended up with a great product. Colin Boyd for not just the beautiful wiring job, but all of the behind the scenes work, organising of parts etc. Brett Gillespie for setting up the engine and fuel system and for the great fuel and oil plumbing using the highest quality XRP hose and fittings. Thanks also to my son Doug Willard and my cousin Brad Willard for all of your help during the build, and my wife Margaret for not complaining about the endless spend. I'd also like to welcome aboard our sponsors- Atlantic Oil, thanks Suzanne Lazar (sponsorship manager) for taking a chance with us. Owen Webb at Concept Paints thanks for the brilliant paint job and AAA Malibu Paint & Panel for the use of your brand new spray booth. Thanks Scott Ashby for the great paint prep Thanks Colin Hardy for the fantastic artwork. Thanks Peter Mitcherson Engineering for all of the one off parts. Special mention to Mick Taylor and Lee Taylor and all of the Banshee Racing Drag Team, can't wait to get over there and race all of the Outlaw Anglia's! See more

06.01.2022 Good luck to the Queen Street Customs team at Jambo

04.01.2022 After 3 years of painstaking of building, John Willard from Flatout Services is looking forward to debuting his 1948 Ford Anglia Hot Rod at Sydney Dragway. With... its 451 cube Blown Hemi motor, this car will be representing the Supercharged Outlaw category. Atlantic Oil will be onboard with sponsorship with this team and wish John well on his journey.

03.01.2022 First pics of the car and driver (after I've had a few skids) Last pics of the car until it's finished

02.01.2022 WOW. What a day!!! There's no denying it, the Aussie Outlaw/ Outlaw Anglia was built with one thing in mind, and that was to run 6 second quarter mile passes a...t over 200 mph. So it's not a huge surprise that we achieved that yesterday with a 6.93@201mph. What is a surprise is how quickly we did it! That doesn't just happen, you need great equipment, but more importantly you need great crew. Neil Webb, Brett Gillespie, Stephen Busch, Doug Willard and Colin Boyd have all been a huge part of this project from day one and without their efforts this car just wouldn't exist. These guys absolutely worked their butts off at the track yesterday and were the most cohesive, well oiled team that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Many, many thanks to all of you! We also had a couple of extra crew on the day, thank you Pete Glass and Peter Anastas. Thanks also Dale Heiler for sorting the Haltech and liasing with Brett on the tune up. I'd like to acknowledge my great sponsors. Atlantic Oil , Concept Paints, Craigs Automatic Transmissions, Torque Calibration Services and Flatout Services. I'd also like to acknowledge the OUTLAW ANGLIA DRAG RACING UK group for providing the vision, and in particular my great friend Mick Taylor of Banshee Racing Drag Team for the inspiration- thank you brother See more
