Nick broke a drive shaft on his first run.

I ran a 12.32 on my third run.

About a 15mph head wind.

Nowt to lose by taking it

[Quinny]

Fastest Griff there

12.618 @ 120.41

Also had a 12.743@121.04... .. And another 12.771@120.22 so fairly consistent and fairly easy to run a 12 without abusing anything..

This was as the car is driven everyday, no fancy tyres, no burnout and no altering tyre pressure...
Just drove it off the trailer and ran it as it is.... So all in all quite chuffed

[Brummmie]

10.81/132.5 not bad with a headwind, still getting the measure of the new clutch on launch.

[db484bhpv8]

11.07 @ 127.8 chasing Brummmie in the last run of the day. Would have had him if not caught napping on the line. Coming to get ya Paul.

[Pupp]

So who's going to win the drinking?

[SILICONEKID345HP]

If I practiced as much as you I'd be in the 9's

No, flywheel has been on the car all the time.

solid cam, more torque and a tad less bhp.

So, who drunk the most last night? who's got the worst hangover? who slept with who? why am I asking these stupid questions?

Peter, less bhp more torque, I'm thinking I need this too

Keep the updates coming lads, we're pressure testing a pipeline out here so not much action here and plenty of time to follow the action at Shakey

[Sardonicus]

Great meet nice meeting up with all the usual suspects including a few new one's, thanks for the hospitality Peter and Catherine On a more serious note Mac and his Turbo 4.6 Chimaera thanks for the blast I have a good bench for very fast cars over the years and all I can say is your car is bloody mental looks great and goes even better what a rush certainly not for a novice this one

[AceOfHearts]

Nice to meet you all yesterday, we had a great day

A few pictures:

[phazed]

Great pictures Lewis

Yesterday was a great day.

Good to catch up with the usual suspects and put faces to a few more names.

I even met up with the "old man" that is Quinney, (I'm probably older ) nice to meet up at last!

Lots of very good cars there from the standard to non standard RV8s to S/C to turbo to twin turbo to LS.

As usual the N/A guys shone and showed the rest how it's done, big

My previous best, 12.2, (running on Triple 8s).

Yesterday's best was 12.09 followed by:

12.11
12.17
12.28
12.33
12.35
12.46
12.53, (first run of the day)

All that on my street R1Rs.

I may have to invest in a pair of street drag radials and join the "big boys" in the 11s.

Anyhow, home now, motorhome and trailer decanted, chim tucked in the garage and preparations begin for Snetterton on the 29th.

Happy motoring.

Oh yes, I must mention the guys who plied my 18 year old daughter with drink last night that ensured that I would have to deal with the consequences, nice one. (Can't find a suitable smiley).
