It was about Brexit and I used the B word .
Which B word?Where are you getting married?
The B word was probably Boris.....

Suddenly had a mental image of a guard of honour of two lines of Chimaera owners, holding crossed flaming blowtorches aloft.......hope I don’t get banned for “flaming”.

Congratulations Daz. Great news
Be interesting to see if married life slows you down any
Sped Anthony up,, what a good woman can do for you
Borrow tyres after a few practices, sub 12’s all day.
I had a biker friend pop round, mentioned drag strip and the top boys times etc, he was super impressed, he builds shed thingies and knows how hard it is to push through the air.

Fancy being banned over Boris, hardly seems worth it.
If you get into the 11’s Daz, I’ll eat 3 pastries!
I know your times are quick I believe assisted by your higher ratio diff and not needing to hit 4th, (extra gear change).
I am sympathetic in my changes and could do better but won’t do so I’ll never beat my time imho, (11.83 Daz, )
Good luck and I hope to see you there.

That’s insanely fast considering it’s not really your thing. If you get into the 11’s Daz, I’ll eat 3 pastries!

Good job I don’t do one of these times, you’d never hear the end of it
Was that with the new Dif

The next run after the 11.83 I sheered the stub axle.
Not something you will do with an ordinary Chimaera or slightly tweaked as I was running 450ftlb of torque at the time. Now reduced to 430 but more bhp at higher rpm.
It’s amazing how fast this car can be and yet I’ve been using it so much recently on the road. It performs so quietly and smoothly you would never think it was as capable as it is.

I know nothing about drag racing and this would be my first drag meet. But just for benchmarking's sake where would for example a standard 400 be? (not that I'm going to run!)
Have a look at the general TVR forum, first item, quarter-mile times. Interesting reading. Madmax2seems to be the fastest standard 4.0. Sardonicus is quicker with a 13.22 but with a modified engine at the time if I remember correctly.
61 MADMAX2 Chim 400HC Shakey 13.937 100.1 9.006 79.5 2.236

I've just realised I am away that weekend for my dad's birthday
My diff finally got finished and back to me yesterday, so I've been putting the car back together since.
The Hoosiers fit (just) although the body is slightly off centre so I think the left will rub on the top of the arch at launch. Definitely pushing my luck with tyre sizes
Exhaust back on tomorrow and I can see what the new 3.08 feels like
Rear arch clearance
