i enjoyed my day at avon park, never been on the strip before and made a right hash of the first run lol.

in the end i had a string of 14.5 & 6's, eventually got it down to 14.2 and then a 14.1 which i was over the moon with :)

Didnt turn up till 3pm , as I was stuck for 1.5 hours on the A46 in a horendous traffic jam, mind you ariving so late meant I got pleanty of runs in and I avoided the £10 gate fee.

I have gone back to my original turbo which gained me 3 mph on my terminal speeds (93) was 98 last year so still pants but better than 90 last time.
I fluffed up a gearchanges a few times alowing myself to get beaten by a mini and a R5 turbo. WTF

Highlight for me was against a cossy where I really started to pull away from him at 660ft. Best time 15.5 again verses 15.0 last year!
I think Miss Whiplash is due a trip to Vt real soon!

Shame I didnt get to see everyone, as you had probably gone home although it was good to meet Olie , Wayne, and Madness again!

What spec is your car ?


2.5" straight through exhaust including a decat
big ass airfilter
runing .8/9 bar

having a new clutch helped alot, and also got a fair few runs in which enabled me to get the balance between bogging down and wheelspin right.

will deffo go to the next one, might mess with tyre pressure's etc to see if i can go one better

My car is fine. Clutch bite is a tad higher but nothing to worry about. Thanks for coming down with the Van. Hopefully they'll be a better turn out next time.

I ran 15.39 @94.7 as my best - which is probably 1/2 sec down on what Spesh could have run it.

Vitch ran 13.84 @ 102 (13.84@102) in his Camaro and was well chuffed (as he should be). Unmodified that car is damn fast. God knows what it would be like tuned. As they say there is no replacement for displacement.

as i said in the other thread, really enjoyed the trip to stratford this weekend.

shame i didnt meet any one off here, but to be honest, after a bit of a heavy night i wasn't really in the best of spirits yesterday lol. quite happy sitting by the strip nursing a cup of coffee and watching the cars go by. (went through a fair amount of coffees yesterday lol)

will be back up there next time too, may even take my car then instead of going up in the misses's corsa gsi, and get the vectra back on there to try and shave a bit of time of my PB. if its as quiet there as it was yesterday i will have plenty of chances to beat my time.

hopefully there will be a tonna tuning video up in the next few days, should be a good one i hope :B_blite:

by the way, thinking of it, i may have been standing behind spesh while he was talking to you wobbly dave, up on the grandstand. i was the big fella behind him, if it was you, you may have seen me? as said above though, i wasnt really fully swtiched on, got to be honest.

i'm sure i heard him mention your name wobbly dave?
