Another one enters the 12's, great run Jim just a shame you weren't able to improve on it any further*happy* Maybe if the wind would have dropped.
Unfortunately not everyone else favoured so well, as I see at least half a dozen cars have some sort of problem that eneded their participation, hopefully nothing to serious.
Watching everyone racing at whatever level makes me well jealous *frown*, I need to pull my finger out and finished the repairs and get out there, hopefully fresh for the new new.

Yep Congrats Jimbo! Glad I got to see that run.

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

cheers guys, very pleased I got in the 12's on road tyres. I managed 11 runs in total, apart from a dodgy variable resistor on my dash, and my fan belt jumping off no problems.

I found wheel spin in 3rd gear @ 100 mph interesting
