About the car called Woken
The car is a 1986 Nissan Cherry Turbo N12. In some countries it is referred as Pulsar or even Langley.
We call this car Woken. The correct English would be the wok, which is a nickname for it.
2004-2006 we rebuilt it to become a full out FWD dragrace car, We made it the fastest in Europe 2010-2014!
Dragrace is a sport where the competition is to travel 1/4 mile (402m) as quick as possible. Two cars race in pairs. They start at the same time and the first one to pass the finnish line is the winner.

The car was bought December 12, 2000.
The name was made up after its likeness with the dish. However it might seem odd to call a Japanese car wok since the dish wok is from Malaysia...
...but there are allot more odd things about this car to worry about.
2004-2006 we built the new chassis with 42mm normalized steel tubes. In front Volvo 850 shocks have ben rebuilt with adjustable Koni's. We use Volvo 850 brakes and hubs with modified Chrysler bearings. M20 uniballs as required. In rear we have a Diest shout since the car is able to run faster than 240kmh in 1/4 mile.
The car weights 1020kg fully fueled at starting line.
To get optimum traction in start there are wheelie bars fitted.
They are not allowed to be adjustable during the run which they are not. Neither may they be engaged with the track as the car is standing still, but as the car accelerates from the line they stop the rear end going downward, and transfers the weight to the front wheels.
They are 160cm long, and has helped us run 60ft in only 1,40 s.
