Default Today at Elvington. 204.3mph +207.4 + 210.1mph.

Andy Forrest has done 204.3 mph at Elvington today without nitrous.
There may be more to come as the car was still accelerating through the trap.

Well done Andy.

A further run was done at 207.4. The mirrors were then removed and the gaps around the lights etc taped. The nitrous bottle was removed from the car and the last run was 210.1mph.
