Anyone go and what times?

 

We were there - plus loads of other scoobs.

Mikeesingh's best run was 12.91 seconds

 

That was him???? Damn..

 

I was there, had a good laugh even though my times were awful The car was stuttering and misfireing, I think the new exhaust is causing some problems, Im aiming to get them sorted over the next few weeks then I will be back for more!

Bloody good day though, track surface was a little slippy for my liking, on the first couple of runs I was getting wheelspin in 5th gear , dried out for the next few runs, was having to launch in 2nd gear in a vain attempt to get the power down. Was all I could do just to keep the car in a straight line

Great laugh! Come give me a shout next time, I have no idea what anyone looks like!

poc your motor sounded awesome popping very well, what was your best time m8

 

Hi Mike, it makes all the right noises

14dead was my best but the car was well off par, I should have been crossing the line at about 120ish, instead was getting 105..... think I have found the problem, so will be back for a rematch very soon!

Saw you pull a 12.9, very impressive (git )

Theres usually a group of 5ive-o stickered scoobs in the car park. Feel free to come say hello to us next time!

yeh got a half decent time 12.91 at 107mph but my clutch has gone, cralled home but couldnt move it at all this morning, so a clutch and service next week is costing me 1k ouch, bring on the next one lmfao

my best was 13.7

never seemed to get my starts right

 

Expensive day then eh Mike, I dont think the problem with my car is too serious.

Getting so much wheelspin there though, was launching in 2nd gear and the car didnt stop squirming until I hit 5th gear and crossed the line Thats with sticky race rubber too

 

my best was 14.8 in a standard turbo 2000

 

reckon you could have got mine in the 12's TaylorM with them starts of yours

 

very respectable times for my mate in my old my01 ppp decat of 13.8 @ 95mph

 

guys, i always get confussed with times, top speeds,
if you ran a 14s @100 mph and say 14.5 @105 mph this is what i dont understand, you would think quicker time = higher mph, can some one enlighten me
cheers, Dug.

 

i could have a worse start then you, you could be half way up the strip at 8 seconds i could be a quarter of the way up, if i finished just say .2 of a second behind you i would be going faster over the line as i caught up with you and i would have had to of been going faster to catch up

think thats how it works lol

S13DUG;

Reason for the apparent speed/time variation anomaly is because when time is lost, most time lost is USUALLY at the start/take off point and not at the finish. A second lost at the slower start speeds means cars are still only a short distance apart. However, at the end of the run with 100+ mph showing, that second represents a much longer distance .......
