When I went to Elvington RWYB last year, just did three runs in the Cerb to stretch it's legs. I'm amazed that the straightliners site has still got me as the second fastest car and my 1/4 mile time is still right upthere with the leaders.

I would have tried a bit harder if I knew how close I was to the fastest top speed, but I decided on mechanical sympathy on the day.

BTW, yes my name is Mark Walker. Not a lot of people know that!

Good times.

I am guessing that the 13 secs was for a 1/4 mile drag and the top speed was for a standing mile??

I only ask because the speeds look far too high for trap speeds at the end if 1/4 mile run.
