The boost i was running is a bit debatable as i said i was having spikes, I think for the quick run i was at 18psi but cant be too sure! What sort of 60 foots are people doing on road tyres? |

Matty, are the old "could have" and what if  I'd be in the 12s is i could do a 2.1. 60 foot Lol too true!! But the 15.1 was run with a 3.0sec 60ft so is quite safe to say room for improvement there!

I wish i was on road tyres! No i was on the slicks so dont think it holds as much significance as if i was running on road tyres!

Couldn't fault it this year. Must admit I was abit more sober though than last year.

What's interesting is that, so far, no one on here has said a bad word about MITP 2008. I'm a regular show goer, usually to collect parts and often leave by lunchtime - not really my scene. However, I think that the combination of the normal type of show with the added spice of a bit of drag racing is a recipe for success. I would suggest that the RWYB type event should be more structured along the lines of the Showdown, as judging by the numbers of people in the stands, the racing is maybe a bigger part of the event than the organisers anticipated.

Great weekend, despite my car disappointing me yet again - a 15.5 was the best I could get out of it, but that was after bodging a fuel leak on the 180 mile drive there on the Saturday. Ran both days since it was so quiet (by Pod's standards).

Do we know what happened on John Hastons last run against the Don?

there was a nasty green mini with holes cut into the boot lid. ran in the 15`s, was a crap driver. on one run he missed every single gear. and he ran again and again. he was either really dire or really thick not to realise something was wrong and shouldent have been going up the strip. I spoke to that guy who said it was the first time he had taken it up the strip. It was a 1600 k series. Quite nice interior though. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

Do we know what happened on John Hastons last run against the Don? It went bang just off the line and chugged up the track. Pity 'cause it should have been a close race. the silly sod put some 150 hp nitrous jets in , lol. when John did a comp test the middle two were well down , so either just a HG or damage to the head or cyls, i havn't called him to find out just yet, . carl |
