michael Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Roy was going to be in the TOTB team again this year but he can't make the car quiet enough Lg4AZAgjsc4 He went on to run a 10.6 later on I believe. Was a good day for MR2s it seems, one of the cars that is in the team ran a 9.722 @ 144mph at Shakespere today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 it is mental mic, totb have killed the event It's those damn locals putting pressure on the owners of the venue, TOTB are just being forced to play by the rules the council have put in place It's a huge shame and I bet the big money generating F1 testing still happens during the week without any noise limits A shame but this seems to be happening to more and more venues.

Branners Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Did he expect to do a wheelie or was it a shock to him as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Jesus! I thought it was going to be one of the usual wheelies you see from the Rx7's or project gtst, but that was something else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Pah, my bone stock UK spec MR2 can do them in 2nd Very impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Bloody hell - just shows you how much traction there is to be had on a main event day like that at Pod with the sticky surface. A drag auto Supra with a lot of power could do something real special at such a day Looks like he was very shocked it did it given how quick he jumped off the power and slammed it back on the deck. I know most of us would have the same reaction especially given you can't steer / see the track but easing off the throttle gently would have placed it back on the ground without risk of damage to the suspension or chassis. Is the car 100% after that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Christ yeah, that was some wheelie. The guy in the other lane certainly made him wait a while too, obviously didn't need that much heat in the tyres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
