9.84s @ 146mph
I just wanted to congratulate my husband publicly for running a 9.84s 1/4 mile at 146mph yesterday (Santa Pod test day.) 
I cannot even begin to explain how much blood, sweat and tears have gone in to this project, but it feels bloody good today!
With a bit more tune (maybe NOS?) and a bit more time, Paul believes he can go lower (oooer).
I would also like to give a big
to Andy and Barbara, I imagine they know what I am talking about!

PS, did anyone tell you Andy did a 9.3 @ 159mph

I understand that one hell of a lot of work goes into these cars, but i'd much rather see them lapping Brands, Silverstone and 'The Ring' etc.
I would just feel short changed with everything being over 9.5 seconds!
Then again, now I know how my other half feels!

That is why the car is also fully prepped for the Time Attack pro series and will be at Silverstone on the 20th August.Being able to do a 9.84s 1/4 mile in a car that also lapped Knockhill (Time Attack Round 3 on 1st July) at a very respectable 57.540s is no mean feat believe me. And with more time to be spent on the set-up, Silverstone should see a track improvement.
Sheeesh, how much do you guys want?!
