Here's Gareth looking composed. Then we see how he really feels. Turn up the sound and you'll hear him at about 9 seconds. :-)

Magic that was great Put my headphones on and it was almost like being therethumbup
What diff do you have? I noticed you were changing up way before you red lined it! Is this the way to go in drag racing?
Fraser told me it would be better to change up at about 5700rpm. I did that once and got my better time. I guess you reach max power in each gear approx 500rpm before the red line??
Cant wait to get back out there to practice what I've learned.

What twice in a row???? He wanted a rematch as he said having his roof up caused drag so he tried it with the roof down. Guess what? I beat him again. And anyway don't you start, i have slips to show i beat you too
In fact i couldn't resist, as you started it.

Unlike you, Mel, I'd only done 2 runs before Shakeys. So I'm still learning. Power does peak about 5700 and torque peaks at 4500. I'm having to change to 4 early to get decent trap speed.

I tend to be wary of losing speed by actually hitting the limiter. I'd hope to not drop too much below 4500 when I go up each gear. Best time 13.7 and best speed about 105, so not too bad. Diff is standard, 3.46 if memory serves. I think the car would do nearer 13 with a proper driver and/or burnout.
