Well done Andy

Iain

 

nicely done Mr. F

 

The track guys at York Raceway were excellent, they had the track well prepped and sprayed right up to the 1/8th. They were actively seeking feedback on how the track felt and re spraying as necessary. Pulled my best ever 60' there yesterday at 1.541

I think thats why Steve was jumping on the startline He knew the track was spot on. It's difficult to get an ideal surface for launching a 4wd car and to have the UK 4WD (perhaps European ?) record there means a lot to the track team. Well done guys.....I'll be back

See http://www.york-raceway.co.uk/homepage.html for events line up.

Absolutely awesome time. The marshall was that confident that you were going to beat 9.3 he started his victory dance before you crossed the line

 

Andy - what a guy!

Just when you think he cant get any faster, and BAM! another record falls.

Keep it going mate - you doing everyone proud!

 

 

Well done Andy

 

Nice one Andy. Time to update the SNET profile?

Congrates Andy!

Well done Andy on your new time and record. What was the terminal speed as you crossed the line? Still think that last run at totb was an 8 sec run though

Nice one Andy F

 

BTW What was the terminal?

 

Think they said 158 mph. Must say it looked great going down the strip. What impesssed me the most was the lack of start line antics, Andy just quietly rolled it up to the line and launched it, next to no wheelspin and no pops and bangs, just hugely quick.

 

Got to be more than 158 mph for the terminal. He crossed the line at 171 mph at totb with a 9.8 or sec quarter and then when the inlet blew he crossed at 9.7 sec with a 100 mph terminal puts a smile on my face that one all the time

 

i was there definatly was 158 mph,

 

158 mph it was then just goes to show what the engine was pushing out and capable of doing if he could do a 171 mph@9.8 at totb on normal road tyres was this to do with having more power/torque at totb or maybe to do with Melbourne having more traction off the line?????????

It can get a bit confusing doing the strip as I have noticed myself.


Andy! can you answer the above question?

 

Also a lot to do with less drag from the road tyres he used at TOTB, and the difference in measurement of final speed between the two venues.

 

Got this at the start of a 158 run
Quite a spectacle watching Andy and the Distinctive Cars Skyline (built just down the road)

 

Nice shot that

 

Well done Andy!

You never cease to amaze me!

 

Top stuff Andy


listening to your turbo spooling is addictive ...

 

Quite pleased with it - I was shooting 3 frames per second and hoping some would be in focus - he doesn't stay in front of you for long...

Can't see a link to a vid of my Mundano cracking the 15s (much to the annoyance of the guy next to me in a turbo'd XR3I conv, who only beat me by 0.1s)

 

very very fast

 

He needs to slow himself down! I couldn't get a decent shot of anything on Sunday. Think I was having an off day (at least I hope that's all it was)!

 

Some more video from sunday if anyone else was there (and interested at all)
