T5 Rob - 15.4461 @ 91.98mph - 60ft 2.5978


And ok my 60ft doesnt seem so bad as a comparison but its usually 1.9 ish

Actually this is quite interesting.

Smithness was faster by 1/100th than me for the 1/4 mile but had to do 106mph terminal after losing 0.13sec on the 60ft.

Wobbly was about 0.3 secs slower on the 60ft than me but even though he managed 102 terminal he was about 0.9 secs slower.

So getting the 60ft rights seems almost crucial.

With some very simple and inaccurate maths if I pulled the usual 1.92 ish 60ft over 2.22 I'd have been in the 11's :-p (Obviously that doesn't take into account lots of stuff lol).

Absolutely - I know that in order to get my time down I need to find 2 or 3 tenths in my 60ft.

Sounds easy but everything has to hook up.

whore!

You should have seen Dave on the way home rubbing it in that he beat me by showing me the trophy every time I drove past him, git lol

[Wobbly Dave]

I am almost a bit sorry. Almost. I don't win much. I wish I could be more gracious but sorry Frankie - in yer face!

I am sure you will repay me a 100 fold when I lose next time.

[Santa]

Yes, lots and lots of stuff! lol

Well I havent a clue what the torque curve is, the friction of the tyres to the ground or the air density at Avon on the day lol

HI Guys, i was out earlier checking my new discs to go on the car and i noticed that i have several cuts in the tyre tread, in 2 places the tread looks to have been cut out as if driving on flint. Bloody York surfaces.. so check your tyres guys.
