My times are shocking due to being ste
First run I stalled it and missed third

Second run I wheel span in the first three gears fish tailing up the track

Third run I'm not sure what I did wrong but it wasn't very good

Not sure it's worth analysing these but I know one thing I need to practice a lot.

60 ft times Richard. All Derek's teaching as I'm sure you know but it's all in those first 60 ft
2.1. 2.2 ... I'd have beat you : hehe:
You big power boys have a rather different animal to tame and I think requires great technique. I think you'd have enjoyed watching Barry and taken a lot from it. Don't let him fool you, he's a born racer that lad smooth ain't the word is Barry, still pulls wheelies though so I really don't know how he does it.
Good laugh and when you do hook it up you'll be stoked and post something faster for sure.
When I was doing 2.1 I was lucky to stay in the high 13's
Derek's lend of his tyre's allowed a 1.7 to 60 and a 12.6 although I did do one run on Rainsports and got a 12.7 12.8 again with sub 2 sec 60 ft times. Makes a massive difference and the less wheel spin the better I found. Saying that I messed up the start so many times, so hard to control the power. I assumed the drag strip would be really grippy, nah!
It's a whole new step into the unknown and is a test of both you and the car. Challenging I know that.

Ive not tried a sprint , its somthing I would like to try .

I think you should Daz, you'd enjoy it I'm sure!

What about mid September at Curborough?

[Classic Chim]

You know Daz is a fit cyclist don't you, he'll be blinding quick at this too
Don't sell any of you whatever you do. You'll regret it and so will many of us.

For sprinting do you just. turn up and pay your money?

Is it nore involved ?

[phazed 11.83]

It has to be booked in advance.
50 quid for the day, as many laps as you can squeeze in.

My son and I shared my car last month and we had about a dozen rounds each in a day, more than enough.

Loads of second and third gear work, hanging the rear out on the bends and smoking the tyres up the straights.

Give me a ring tomorrow and we can have a chat .

Anyone up for another go at the end of this month? Maybe even consider the pod for a change. Anyone?
