Did this yesterday- came first in my group with a 9.77 (rubbish time) and won a blingy gold trophy (not exactly tasteful), but it was a lot of fun and I didn't break the transmission for a change

Attachment 9712

A couple of vids to show how much traction I wasn't getting lol

Thanks mate. Unfortunately first time out on the 1/4 this summer she only managed a 14.7/94mph/2.32 60ft with a boost problem. Should be a lot better next year- boost issue sorted and the turbo will be rebuilt.
Sadly won't be able to make it this time- maybe next year though

We go to Bitburg in Germany, which isn't too far from us. Some fairly serious racers there with 9 and 8 second muscle. Too quick for the old shopping trolley lol. They run it over a weekend (5 meets) with test and tune and bracket racing on Sunday which I love competing in.
I used to take my Mk2 RS to Shakespeare (Avon Park as it was) in the 90s- nice strip.
