NEW 1/4 MILE RECORD FOR U.K. VIPER?
Discussion
Tested the new setup for the first time "proper" at the "POD" and despite lots of wheel spin and only 3 runs to sus out a new launch (still got a lot to learn!)managed a 1/8 mile at 97mph @ 7.7sec and the ....1/4 mile at 126.31 @ 11.61sec.....so just putting the Venom on the top of the pile.(Not for long unless we improve our 60ft time coz that was pants!)So Neil.....a little job for u on the UK Record Site,when u find time!Unless someones went faster this weekend? "Thanks Neil!"

Didn't you run a high 10 before, soon after you got your car back? Should be able to get consistent 10s with practise.
stevieturbo said:Well the time slip shows 2.002 for the 60ft and i hear that for every 1/10 lost at this point= 3/10 at the 1/4 mile,i was using far to much throttle in first and had the rear of the car tramping/wheels spinning till i got into second gear,so v low 11,s should be possible with practice.Any ideas or clues from the Steve?
What was the 60ft time ??
Viper said:. Thanks Neil !,sadly the 800bhp stickers come of coz we have done a few calculations using a Drag Racing Formula based on total car weight and terminal speed and used the same for car without NOS.It appears that we are only getting 95/100 rw hp from the kit and problably had 30 bhp less than we thought without the NOS (But i think Nad already guessed that!)So its going back to "Power Engineering" for some more "work",hope to test it again after were back from Le Mans.
a good starting point Tom, I'm sure you'll get faster, think the record section may be busy this year with all these mods going on
WE were on our Khumos so i guess we should have done a bit better and without the wheel spin i think we could have doen low 11,s ,still must say i was a bit disappointed,hope to test again soon when its jets have been changed.I find it amazing that my second run with 11.8 for the 1/4 @ 124.96 mph matched Sarahs second run on speed,she ran 12.035 @ 124.96mph,not sure whats going on but looking at the trap times i got away sooner but seemed to loose speed to her in the final 1/8 ,just seems funny how the same car can cover the distance with a quicker time but identical speed,can,t realy get my brain around that one,any ideas?
WERE THE FASTEST VIPER!
............Just thought i,d rub it in a bit,and as this item was slipping out of sight:...LOOK AGAIN SUCKERS......We have the fastest Viper!(Gonna make the most of this as i think our record will be short lived.....)
Joel my heart bleeeds for you!Ha Ha Ha
.......
...worked out how it all fits together yet?..................Yer i know i,m 
but i don,t need u lot 2 tell me ,it comes kinda naturel...(Think this post may have something to do with my return from the Amsterdam "Coffee Shop",
