M400 v's Supercharged Atom

[hollowpockets]

Seeing as I'm never able to make it south for any of the meets I thought I'd show you's a couple of clips taken last month of me trying out the my car on the quarter mile, I got a 12.16, 12.46 and a 12.09... The Atom managed a 12.5, second run he popped the gear linkage which i fixed , both our first try's on the 1/4 in our cars.

My last run was against a ninja 636 who I was ahead of most of the way down but was beaten by a car length,

Also spot the carbon spoiler plates from Alex S, thanks again mate.

Bit of practice and perhaps some sticky rubbers would be into 11's but im chuffed with what i got, much more fun trying to pass R500's at Knockhill though...

Perhaps this few tenths of a second is just the difference between experienced 'test drivers' and the average man in his weekend toy.

Maybe, but your reaction times looked miles better.

From what i gather at crail, it measures your reaction time but the 1/4 mile time is measured from when the car leaves the line, as on the first run i was ahead by a car length but he got a time .01 of a second faster.
