Cool NEW ESCORT COS 1/4 MILE RECORD 10.3@142mph

was at crail today and beat my previous best time...not as good as i hoped for...but its getting there......i was well chuffed to see the 140mph+terminals come up
heres the timing slip....not as consistent as my runs usually are..but thats cos i had a bit of a hangover and missed gears a couple of times



the runs were still on toyo proxes...i wont be doing anymore 1/4 stuff till i get some sticky tyres as i dont think i can launch it any better on the toyos the 60 ft times are crap if i can sort them out i,ll be laughing

i know this is a scooby forum but i thought i,d share it with you lot

Well done Kev!!

Saw you in the queue a few times mate and gave you a wee wave...

Saw the constant flame in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear as well, looked pretty sweet mate!!

Cheers,
Grant
