Eh? Wouldn't that be nearer 200mph at the 1/4? Sense makes none

4.2second reaction time....did somebody fall asleep at the wheel, or do you have no tyre tread left ?

This was by far my best race on Sunday and the ruddy timing equipment threw a paddy. The terminal speeds are correct as is the win margin by Simon in Bootlegger. I had a bad start at least 3 tenths slower reaction time. So this run should have been a new PL of 10.8 something.

Paul. I do have the record for fastest terminal at the 1/8th. Catching you up in my little Rover ha

Please can somebody do a suitable PhotoShop of a Chim-based Funny Car that could do a sub-8 second ET ?

Shame about the timing glitch Derek, we know you can do it really wink
Keep on whittling away man.
I enjoy following your exploits on here. thumbup

PS Perhaps the green wig upset the timing beams?

Be interesting to see what the Speed 12 would do if properly tested at it's highest tune.

Same for the second one being built with the other engine.

That's a ridiculously quick car though.

Thanks for the support. I have extrapolated this run was actually quite possibly almost certainly a 10.8 smile

Sub 8 might be a while away. I do have a cunning plan to break the 9s tho wink

see the big difference in the reaction time. Even the commentator says so. The difference at the finish line was 0.6071 seconds so add that to Simons 10.5819 give me a time of 11.189 if we set off together. Lets say my reaction time was 4 tenths slower then this would have given me a new PB of 10.789 @ 128.95
Typical luck, rare the timings get messed up.

think you have a decimal point missing there.

Hold my hands up to most Cerbs for top speed tho.

I do have a 3.08 diff now and the theory is 179 with a 150 shot of gas so no slouch. Would be worried about losing the roof.... again
