New Santa pod record

[BFG TERRANO]

Sorry if it's the wrong section but hey... Just wanted to congratulate an old school mate simon Norris on his 0-60 time of 1.7 seconds in his evo 9 on what was a very "sticky" pod strip. Various other impressive figures on his quater mile if I can find the link to his stuff will post it later. Well done to simon and all the team at Norris designs for their achievements.

Strange as it is, it's the rear facing camera footage I find most impressive.

Is it diesel?

Did he use Shell Optimax?

Jeeesus, that's impressive

[Fast Bug]

What record did he break?

I'm guessing fastest Evo then!

For those of you who don't want to sit watching nothing for 1m50s:

Makes me feel a bit dizzy just watching it. Pretty rapid.

Nice one Simon!

In the big scheme of things its fast enough for an ET class (i.e. clubman), it looks like there was a rail in the other lane, which is why I asked.
That said I don't know if the ET classes allow diesels.

I wonder what it'd do against this http://youtu.be/ul_ma1dzp4M

Good to see he's sticking to strips these days

[Impasse]

Can anyone explain to a Pod virgin why the other car seemed to leave the line about 3 or 4 seconds before the Evo?

I like the fit and finish of all the Gubbins on the dash and the cage. Looks like a proper job. Even though I wouldn't know a proper job in this field if it jumped up and bit me in the arse. That just looks very neatly done.

I could drive that every day admiring the view.
