If you’ve followed our channel for a while now, you would be very familiar with this car… If there was ever to be a car that this channel would be known for most it’s probably this car 😀

It’s starred in just about every drag racing video on our channel!! That in itself deserves some recognition.

Piloted by Kevin Boulton who has probably done more laps of the dragstrip than most people and has been campaigning Mumbo for a few seasons now, a hugely driven person who always aims to push the car each round to go faster and faster. With Mike in charge of the tune up, the car has continued to smash it’s own PB’s time and time again for both ET and MPH.

Check out Mumbo in action as it continues the pursuit of that ultimate PB; the 6 second slip.

It finally happened!! We have our first 6 second radial car in Western Australia, now held by none other than Ed Tassone of Active Automotive Performance Centre.

With several of the big hitters pushing hard to claim the title, it was the Billet Noonan powered GTO that managed to wrap off an absolute monster pass to light the board up with that magic number.

As featured in a previous video, the car is owned and driven by Ed Tassone who has previously led the race to the 6’s in running as quick as a 7.02 second pass some time ago. The private track hire organised by Jeff Johnson was always going to provide the surface needed to get the job done, the weather was perfect and the only variable were the cars and drivers.

It took a few passes to settle the car in but once that happened this was inevitable.

A huge congratulations to Ed, Tony and all the team for the achievement!

We look forward to seeing that ET record being smashed even more as the cars get quicker and quicker.
