In all fairness Mac had major traction problems i.e FA (street tyres) small wonder it just pissed off down the track from half way

Should of started in 2nd gear

That will do the clutch the world of good Daz and 2nd gear is the same story you have been in it so you know why it struggles to get off the line on street rubber

I had a great day first time for me in the SC 400 and it was nice to meet a few of the TVR boys there also
My main objective on the day was to beat my mates 911 turbo down the strip my first run was not good
I nearly lost the back end it in second
2nd run was much better and after a bit of a slow start I managed to catch the 911 up and beat him
Happy days .

Well daz, I struggled to get in the 12's
I was still having wheelspin in third [it can do it in fourth on the road as you know] due to a combination of st technique and st tyres. [must borrow some of those fancy drag things sometime]
Still had a good time and nice to catch up with some old faces and meet some new.

And my time on the day

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

You are more than welcome bloke and I'm glad you like it. At least 'you' know how nice it drives and how quick it is when required. [Frustrating I couldn't display that on the strip] I look forward to meeting up again with you mate

Thanks Mac I really enjoyed the day there were some awesome TVRs there including yours mate
Catch up soon .

[phazed]

It's always good to have a run against a similar car, unfortunately the staff there weren't so accommodating as last time when they would pick two TVRs out of the quee to run together.

I still had a good run with Brummie in his 6.9 Cerb!
We started together, I pulled a good start, Paul got wheelspin and we were neck and neck till about 3/4 way down the strip and the the superior firepower of the Cerb left me........................

That was my fastest time of the day.

Turbo charging has got me thinking....................................

[Pupp]

Do it :-)

Although I didn't come even close to my best (12.2) not really surprising given that the clutch + BTR diff made total re-learn of how to get away properly which I never did!

The clutch is brilliant - but it has very short biting point and although you cannot burn it out its very hard to let it slip, tried several variations of high/low revs - but never got it right. (that and I fluffed gears on two runs! doh!)

A huge thanks to Mac for being a top gent and letting me have his re-inforced driveshafts (sent you mail Mac about payment)

Great to see so many awesome modified cars, got to be a record for bringing that many top cars togethers?

My Dad took lots of photos, link at the bottom for the complete set, but a few choice ones below.

Looks like you have all had a good weekend and have been blessed with the sun gods
Next time I will be there

[AceOfHearts]

Ive got a few videos here, one of me beating a hotrod and another getting annihilated by a gasser

Best time was 13.9 @ 100mph which I am quite happy with from my little 4.0

Nearly a wheelie!

[BoostedChim]

My best was a 12.32 which was fraction better than Santa Pod last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hkcRRIStJg

It was good to meet up and put a few more faces to names. I am missing a timing slip from when I raced my brother, the people in the hut told us a couple of girls had just collected all the TVRs ones. So if any ones picked up a timing slip with TV08 and TV09 on it I'd love to see a pic, cheers

[phazed]

I asked my daughter but no joy.

They said that we could get a copy of all the TV slips.
