Timo Habermann goes 5.242 !

Big congrats to German FIA racers Timo Habermann and his brother Dennis on their outstanding runs in Top Methanol dragster at Santa Pod raceway in England last weekend. In their first weekend out with new PSI D blowers on Miner Bros. engines the brothers both recorded stellar passes of 5.31 at 267 mph on their first runs and then Timo made a potential record run at 5.242 / 269 mph, while Dennis recorded another 5.31 alongside him. heavy rains caused the cancellation of the event. The 5.242 is the quickest TAD pass outside the US and makes his car one of the quickest BAD's on the planet. The runs were made in legal NHRA TAD trim and weight at only 125 percent overdrive with no traction control. This was also the quickest side by side BAD pass in Europe. Looks like the Habermann's have done their homework and will be a force in the 2014 FIA TMD championship hunt!

 

What kind of chassis is it? Did it come from the States?

A car I am very familiar with is over there somewhere, I hear.

 

It is a Hadman 2000 car made for Duane Shilds but bought from Dale Lambert.
Here is the report of the race:
