Cheating gas only in as much as forced induction is cheating

Severe lack of traction at Crail compared to York but it doesn't half come alive at mid track with the nos Best terminal was 136.4mph.

I kept getting beat off the line by the 650bhp MR2 on drag slicks, he continually had 2 car lengths on me at 1/2 way but I'd pull ahead by 3-4 lengths by the line

Yes, same box Alan but I'm running out of 4th now, bouncing off the 8k rev limiter at 135mph a few car lengths from the end. I only selected gearing for 135mph in 4th as that was my original target.
Time for a diff swap me thinks, I still have that rumbling front one that complained after the missed shift into 1st at 75mph at Elvington, I think it may have actually cracked the gearbox casing today After a 'bang' on run 13 the oil is now pi55ing out the side of the box beside the driveshaft.
Thanks to JB for the 2 ltrs oil top up on my way home and thanks to him for cleaning it all up off his road when it just leaked straight out the side again !!

thats two records in one day

and you done the 10.52.

did you get home ok. is the damage bad but it was worth it wasnt it

After a 'bang' on run 13 13??

That's what i call giving the car some stick!! Ruddy nora!

I'm surprised you never had any shaft problems since this is what seems to happen at some of the other events. Wonder if it's down to surface you're running on?

How was traction off the line?

It's built for thrashing Alan All 13 runs were in the 10 second bracket and over 130 mph
Traction seemed to improve as the day progressed, I could still however do a 4 wheel burnout on approach to the line without too much trouble, that's not something you would do at Elvington for example.

I did it yesterday andy, as Paul suggested it may help scrub the crap off the road legal slicks

6000rpm launch and it spun all 4, even at 19psi.

Doing that seemed to work, as thats when i got the 12.2.
