All eyes were on this super neat, super tough XY, the highly anticipated wait is over!! Introducing ANML XY…. With its first time out running and an experimental carb, BK Race Engines worked in conjunction with APD to produce a custom carby. The results exceeded all expectations. This carb is tailored around BIG horsepower Small Block, 1475XHP. We saw fantastic results straight into the 8s at it first meeting, recording 8.72 @ 153. A new combination from Fowler saw him netting results of 6.82 @ 202 – APD carb straight out of the box and running its first time on QM25 unleaded fuel. With this recent upgrade, these early results are looking promising. It was an all APD carb final between Modified racers Chris Manks and Leigh Hartill-Law Jnr.  Chris currently leading the 2021 Atura Track Championships with a score of 290, followed closely by Leigh with a score of 260.
