Current setup is more for road racing, but I still managed to win my 
class
in major drag battle event in Russia lately - soarer is officially the
fastest RWD car here now. Still, I'm third overall - it's really hard 
to
fight against AWD Skyline GTR's built exclusively for quarter mile. 
But, no
regrets here - you can call soarer "everyday car" without any doubts, 
I'm
really enjoying driving this car on streets. I do have some thoughts 
about
building drag soarer for the next year competitions, but this will be
absolutely new project from scratch.

Attached you will find some pictures of it. More pictures (from Drag 
Battle,
there're tons of really great photos there) you can find here:
