was good to catch up with some and meet new faces. Personally, I didn't have a car so my 1/4 miles were around 5 minutes on foot!

That's a fair point. I think I did it in about half an hour on Sat night....

13.1, 12.79, 12.72, bust, fuck.

For road tyres and open diff Iain, your 60ft times are incredible.

-MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO-

It was a good weekend, I've got my ticket from my quickest run:
60 ft - 2.3665
330 ft - 5.8030
1/8 E/T - 8.5674
1/8 MPH 90.34
1000' ET - 10.8617
1/4 ET - 12.9328
1/4 MPH - 112.35

This was on road tyres 032r's and no gas

My terminals where about 5 mph slower than avon. Well done to nic for his time, very impressive

i reckon i could get those 60fts down with some more practice. i had one last run with a second gear launch and it was better but needed a few goes to get some practice in.

also that was launchin on 18psi i think it was as my actuator seems to be all or nothing and i cant bleed much boost off.

Had a cracking weekend.
15.57 @ 89.93 Running 10psi boost.

Megajolt and 16psi on the way.

Left Santa Pod about 2pm, so should of been okay...got back to the pod about 6.30pm. Fooking hot driving with no air con! :)
Good to catch up with people....and the barbicue didn't get too messy.

maisve shout out to Jason G who drove all the way home to get a trailer. LEGEND!!

INSANE!!!!!!!

Was he still drunk from the worst drinking game ever when he did this?

Got quite an interesting pic of you Jason. Im sure it was alcohol induced aswell

When was that taken you sneaky bast**d?

My times were ok i suppose

My best was

Reaction - +.4062
60ft - 2.4459
330ft - 6.4061
1/8th ET - 9.6564
1/8th MPH - 76.08
1000 ET - 12.508
1/4 ET - 15.0909
1/4 MPH - 89.97

This was with about 9.5 psi boost running a 4pin 2.95 diff on falken road tyres

I also tested out my new launch controller but need more revs as i bogged off the line a couple of times, as soon as the boost came in the tyres were lighting up a piece of piss. On my last run i short shifted 1st and span in 2nd gear. Time for some new tyres.

1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

no problem, good to meet you to, just wish i'd realised it was you sat night.

I turned up, Met coupe (spoke to you in the fire up lanes). I was going to go say hello to Tom and Carl however they seemed to be having problems with the twinny at the time. So i thought id not distract them.

Good day over all however i did not run my car. Did a fluid check a while after i arrived at the pod. The car had lost a lot of oil so i thought better safe then sorry and decided not to run.

A wet compression test revealed all of my issues. :(

Was a good weekend did not run my car
(not overly confident with it yet as had a few people balls up the tuning.
this one seems good so fingers crossed )

Was impressive to see the times some of you guys were posting.

How did i miss all this!

lmao!

Think Jason just staggered off sat night and somehow ended up in my camp. Funny as ya like, trying to get rid of his hic-ups.

ah!!!

i'd forgotton the hicups, i seem to remember he vanashed for a bit then turned up trollyed with hicups.

nic give us all the numbers on your timing slip. accoring to my data logs my run towards the end of the day should have been a 12.4 if I didn't roll forward and break the beam before launching. This run was timed at 13.1 but had a 92mph at the 1.8th and a terminal of 115mph. I simply need more practice.
