You sorted your electrics Neal?

It was not electrical I had a clip off a boost hose.

I now have a bar of boost going through it !

LongBaz said:

Traction Control all done then?

Yes Baz, I needed to move the sensors closer like ridiculous closer almost touching!

All I can say is IT WORKS.

Any gear plant your foot and hold on, launch control is great too just need to play with the settings on the MT tyres for the perfect run.

Im not on facebook so if anyone can do the honors and spread the word on there that would be great

I'm keen on a meet up. Not sure if I'll drive yet but more than willing to help out others who may fancy this for the first time.

I would love to learn your launch technique

Have fun guys, unfortunately I am out of the country for the first time in many years that weekend.

Therefore any times can not be recorded on the 1/4 mile table sorry

Derek we will all miss you wont be the same without you.

Do you have some MT 5 stud for sale?

DangerousDerek said:

Gutted I am away for this one.
Maybe someone can come get my car and run a few 11's for me.

MAC found a TVR you can use!

I managed to get 131MPH terminals last time with no boost, so hoping now with a bar of boost it should give me some more!

Launch control and flat shift are working too so I have no excuses....

We need to start a list and update who is coming and I presume everyone up for camping Saturday night ?

[neal1980]

Ok add yourself on if anyone is on Facebook and can update this with potential people who are going that would be great!

DangerousDerek said:

still waiting for someone to say they will come collect my car. I can put it on the trailer ready. It will have a new lighter flywheel and clutch. Also 2 stages of nitrous and 2 full bottles.

Very generous offer Derek...not sure you will get many takers though as I assume you are un-insured at the track ?

Just saw your thread your going twin turbo LS....I better get a good time in this time before you start setting new PB's.

Whats the plan then Derek you got a spec in mind ??

On another note im really looking forward to seeing Richard (discopotatoes) car out and running Another Twin Turbo Monster!

If the weather holds, this will be a great weekend.

As you have said Alun, lots of different cars with various degrees of output!

It is always interesting to see the differance in times relating to power.

I normally participate most of the day and miss out on watching the cars run but I am going to spectate and enjoy watching others run, (really disappointed to have missed Alun's alternative run ).

And remember, it's not just the fastest times, it's the taking part, yeh right!..................

We need to all set some PB's

Derek I want your spot

I will be logging data on all my runs this time and will be chipping away, great fun

[neal1980]

DangerousDerek said:

Well you have the power so its yours for the taking... if that launch control doesn't, hold you back or you 'lose' your boost again

I've tried the launch on the road its pretty brutal

Still need to try flat shift if it ever stops raining

How much power do you think is needed for a low 10 ??

Not long to go now.....any more takers for this??

Did anyone put the word out on facebook groups ??

phazed 11.83 said:

Can't make up my mind as to what to use.

10 year old 17"x40 profile R1Rs that have achieved an 11.07

or

1 year old 18"x35 profile Federal 595 RSRs untried and unproven.

?

11.07 - What car was that Peter ??

Bring both sets and get a time on each for future reference

Early weather reports dont look too bad
