World Record for 928...
Discussion
Hi All 
Final preparations all finished this evening... for this >>>> http://www.streetnights.com/
Both 14 lb bottles put in the freezer for 20 mins then topped up from my big 82 lb bottle, then remounted with a total of 28 lbs Nitrous ready for tomorrow...
Twin connections fitted so both bottles can be heated and used as one...
Times to aim for.....
Fastest 928 in the world on the 1/8 mile is ...8.37 at 86.69 mph
Which I hope to better slightly....
Will look good in my signature , if I manage it .....
All the best Brett

Hi All
No World records I`m afraid
The track was set on a second world war American bomber airfield and I dont think it had been repaired in the last 60 years lol.
The launch area was appalling....hard broken concrete with cracks and potholes.
The rest of the track was little better.
Anyway...
I started by running in the 10s as expected and slowly increased the Nitrous percentages but as I increased the power all that occured is that my rears spun on the concrete launch area...
I ran around 10 runs times as follows...6 as follows....others were identical to some.
10.25 @ 74 mph
10.23 @ 76 mph
9.91 @ 74.3 mph
9.80 @ 75.2 mph
9.71 @ 75.1 mph
9.68 @ 74.0 mph
Then on the way home I found a nice flat perfect tarmac straight (private road of course) and I tested my theory that it was the concrete spinning my wheels slowing me on launching...
On my G-Tech I ran a...
8.64 @ 86.05 (1/8)
13.21 @109.36 (1/4)
That was on cold tyres.. and IS the third fastest world time
Which at least proved to me that concrete is NOT good for launching
Thats my excuse anyway
Next time I run will be at a proper track (probably the Pod) with my new 800 hp plus Nitrous system and then I wont need excuses
All the best Brett

Hi Brett was good to see you today, probably the most fun I’ve for £20 and would recommend it. Gota agree with you on the track condition, but thought it was run spot on.
Managed 89.2 mph and 8.174.

If this time was on the same concrete patch as Brett attempted, then I suspect it's not a case of the track holding Brett up. Come on Brett, the 928 wr getting smoked by a regular 997GT3 with only 415ps !Managed 89.2 mph and 8.174.

Why's that? I would have thought it shows how much difference the rear engine + big sticky feet made to traction on a sub-par surface?Gassing Station | Porsche General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
