congrats Nic ............... yes paul a staggering 12.63 from NIc

well done that man............. 5 PORTERS RULE

Congrats to nic, I don't think I've ever seen anyone so excited! He was bouncing along like tigger to get his time slip :)

Also well done to jim, we saw a 13.0 and left whilst you were queuing up again, if you didn't manage it today I'm sure a 12 is possible at the pod!

Also a very good performance from Evolotion with his 16v K engined clubman.

Two runs at 11.9s.

And then has a five hour drive home !

Oh and another thing jim, you've got her well trained. Poor girl was pushing your car through the pits on her own with you nowhere in sight! That one definately can't be reffered to as a "witch"!

Paul S, how did the EFI turbo 998 go ?

Congrats Nic saw your 12.6 most impressive it looked fast!, and i thought i spotted Evo running an 11.9!

Had a few issues over the weekend myself not enough prep before hand was the main issue so ended up only using my small nitrous kit on my Coupe and only one run on sunday. Still a 12.39 was the result.

Got A GTM With A Honda In the Back, and huge Nitrous bottle where the passenger seat should be when racing!

Well done Nic, you deserved it buddy. I really need to learn to get my car off the line, 2.59 60ft time on my quickest run of 13.0 with a terminal of 115mph (held back by the limiter). I wanted to break into the 12's but it wasn't to be this time. I'm still suprised how well my car run as the engine was stripped to a bare block Thursday night.

Team Racing

Awesome. nice work lads!

That is some mighty quick times! Oo I spot a picture of Robert's Cloe.

Well done to Nic on his run and to Evo on his times!

had a great weekend sat up on the bank watching the racing, gave me chance to take a few snaps too :)

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

Well done Nic and Evo! some great times.

Pleased with my weekend. Running in engine on saturday taking it steady up the strip at 8,000 revs with ign retarded a bit.
Wound it up today to run a 13.2 with a not great 2.2 60ft (best has been 2.1 a few times) and a missed 3rd gear. Quite sure a 12 is coming soon.

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

Haston's mini blown up again? ouch! Sorry to see it John.

On saturday managed an 18.01 in the van so removed the passenger seat and managed a 17.90 on the sunday with a touch more advance.

Also managed to get Andy's 998 down in 19.1 yesterday and after a bit of weight reduction managed an 18.77 today. Unfortunately he is now broken down in a petrol station waiting for a flat bed.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.
