A couple of low 13s for me. After not driving it for 2 years I was fairly pleased with that.

Had a go in The Don........ my right foot cramped up on the line so fluffed the start by bogging it down then missed 2 gearchanges by not realising the throw of the gearstick is totally different to mine, so a complete fuck up really, but that thing flies 13.5 after all that

I seriously doubt it!

Not a good day at the office..........12.9 on 2 runs.Stripped manifold studs leading to big lean-out and the new whizzo A frame certainly helped with launch,but then rear steered the thing all over the lane all the way up the track.Heyho,good to meet some people though,and the sun did shine.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

I managed a 13.5 then the engine broke. Some very impressive cars there though. Fwd cars running in the 9s @ 150mph+.

I had a great day out there -- meeting lots of TM people and the racing was so varied. All the way from pre war Morgans to, as mentioned, 150mph clios.

Met Leo too, thanks Andy,going to be a credit to Flatcapshire very soon .

Looks like the problem was a lose timing wheel, so easy fix. Shame I never got a clean 20psi run.

All sorted now. I did a quick compression check and everything seems fine. Just need an other event to go to now.
