Result on the times! Its great to see the results of Stu's car now coming through. Well done Si as well!
i couldn' t have done it without the help iv had from Allen and yourself, cheers guys8)
im not sure what time was the qualifying cutoff we were having trouble hearing the speakers over some of the cars:lol: your probably right though at 12noon as racing didn' t start till gone 11am:doh: a marshall come and asked me if i had qualified as he reckoned i had:? after checking his sheet we found i was the fastest NON
doh: ) qualifier being .05 secs away from the cutoff:roll:
:lol: bit gutting but no-one actually raced due to the poor weather:rain:the timing board got a water leak and died on sunday and went unfixed for mondays show:evil:
besides i dont think there were 32 cars actually running:lol: anyway Si and i put in a good show for the Pulsar posse, only thing i am peeved (lol) about is that a certain someone got sorted his flashy stickers and logo' d sweatshirt....
and i didn' t:boink: just cos my cars a shed compared to his:roll: :lol:
Si had no problems with the scrutineers over his exhaust exiting in-front of the ds wheel btw, they seemed more concerned about his wobbly expansion tank lol:lol: after giving his car a going over they left mine almost completely alone:shock: :lol:
would have liked to run using a little less revs but due to the weather didn' t get a chance to experiment. new tyres dropped to 20psi and im still spinning them up like a goodun:doh: didn' t manage to get my car lowered in time either so its obvious i can squeeze some more out of the old girl yet was chuffed to be beating Si after the first run but considering how much his car has been lightened and his spec i think i did really well tbh....once again same terminal speed8) i think if i stripped mine properly, emptied my poxy washer bottle (keep forgetting, its full!) got some decent shocks/ bushes and fitted the anti-dive/lift kit iv had for a year id be giving Si something to worry about:lol: still pretty good going for a road spec car imo:-D :-D :-D
Saw Max who came along despite his car giving him gip and i believe a certain blue, twin exhausted R was there (with Carl in tow maybe?) but i missed him saw another blackun parked in the pits, L plate iirc didn' t see the driver.
most of the RX' s that i saw were running 13' s along with most of the other cars and once again traction was a real issue with everyone. iv got to admit despite the farmer guiles way the whole thing was organised and ran i actually preferred it to the pod. i got told off for smoking in the que
:lol:
last thing that i noticed was the way they run the start lights at SC compared to the pod, iv got so used to the way SP run the lights it was really weird watching the tree count down properly and difficult to get the revs right without dropping
i think my first launch was at about 6500rpm:doh: :lol: i ran two 2second 60ft times due to wheel-spin so a 1.8sec dead 60ft time should see me under 11.5 if im lucky
any R owner could run those times with £1800 worth of bolt-ons and a bit of mapping
add some laughing gas and your well away;-)
anyway....
11.77 timesheet
its my shed lol
rather poor quality vid of me trashing a gts, see timesheet
another poor vid...Si against a crx on drag tyres iirc, hear that launch control lol
