11.4/129.4 mph today

[Brummmie]

Only got 3 runs as the rain kept stopping play, did not get a decent launch in any of them, so i reckon a better time is on the cards for sure.

Good times in this weather

[Brummmie]

If its dry 2mo, i might go back to long Marston to hopefully crack that 130mph barrier, i am on the rev limit at 7000rpm at 128mph in 3rd, so i will raise the rev limit just for the dash across the line, my calcs say 7250=132.57mph.

Rubbish 60ft, 2.063 was the best out the 3, the highest terminal was by hooking 4th just before the line, but that was with a 2.14 60ft and 11.6.

The Cerb looked and sounded superb mate.

Thats a bloody good time for marginal conditions with a good 60 ft time. What tyres are you using?

[Brummmie]

Toyo 888's, would like to have tried 2nd gear an all that, but just not enough runs to experiment.

[jesfirth]

What width do you run? I have 255's at the rear and the shoulders can just touch the wheel arches through big dips on maximum compression but not enough to worry.

255/18's here also, no rubbich on the rear but the 225/18's on the front do under extreme conditions.

[jesfirth]

Thats interesting - my 235 17's on the front don't rub. Might be ride height or possibly 18's have squarer shoulders.

Jes, theres alot more grip than the sprint/hillclimb launches we have on these drag strips, there are very few sprints where its possible to break 2.5sec 64fts, even at the Brighton Speed Trials with a decent amount of rubber down we've never beaten 2.4secs... the extra grip levels of a decent strip on a warm day is quite noticeable.
