Brighton Speed Trials - Won my class :)

[jeffw]

11.81 sec fastest run, 129MPH terminal. Not to bad, won the class and 8th overall.

These are the times from the data logger



I beat the BAC Mono in my class, as well as a Caterham 620R driven by Scott Mansell, Aventedor Roadster, Ferrari F40 and another Sylva Phoenix with a cossie engine running 480BHP (!). Great day...when else do you get to do 130MPH down Brighton Seafront !

The car has a Supercharger on the 2lt Zetec, hence the 2800 adjusted figure. Joe Eagle in the Aventedor was having issues with the launch system on the car, it kept dropping out of gear once the launch was initiated. He did do a 11.9 sec run without the launch control. So I didn't think my 11.81 was too bad against a 700HP, 4WD Lambo with flatshift paddle gearchange

Did you have a good day?

[jeffw]

Well, my first Brighton Speed Trials and my first 1/4 mile run in any car so quite pleased really.

[jeffw]

Thanks Duncan, quite chuffed with the terminal speeds. The time needs some work but the terminals are spot on for the power.

Thanks for the kind words....your Fury needs a lift of forced induction

[jeffw]

Hurry up then
