Shane Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Well that was some serious rain! Thanks for all who made it and it was good to meet some more members and chat, shame about the racing though. Did anyone get more than a single run in? I didn't even make one, just got close to the end of the queue when they decided to stop for the compulsory break and then it p*.*as down and called it off.managed to get my tenner back at least.

David P Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Well that was some serious rain! Thanks for all who made it and it was good to meet some more members and chat, shame about the racing though. Did anyone get more than a single run in? I didn't even make one, just got close to the end of the queue when they decided to stop for the compulsory break and then it p*.*as down and called it off.managed to get my tenner back at least. Pity it didn't hold off, yet everyone would've had a run if they hadn't stopped for lunchbreak during the dry spell, that place couldn't organise a vvank in a brothel. Always good to see a herd of Supra's with their Nerds. The Legendary ABZ, Beibs and Turtle supra ballet sesh (With a cameo 180 from DaveP!), will go down in history! At one point I looked over mid doughnut and I could see both of you also pirouetting in sync Nice to meet a few more people and have an amusing chat in the pub over a beer afterwards as well. Despite the weather I Still enjoyed myself today. Just rounding up a flock of scattered Supra's and herding them towards a dry Pub. I didn't get a run at all either. Was going to give ABZ a go down the track but never got the chance lol. Was nice to meet doe new people and I hope Dave got home alright after the pub!! For reasons unknown the battery decided it was flat, so I went back into the Pub and one of the girls telephoned her Granny to come and give me a jump.

Rich.2211 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Just got home, I managed to get two runs in and a burger. I didn't get to see anyone else run unfortunately! Completely agree with David about the timing of the "lunch" break. Also, I couldn't understand why we were only using one lane when the other lane was fine? Still a great day though, I heard from a friend about the drifting antics Nice to meet a few new faces too and introduce myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 A 12.9 with N/A-T @ 7.5 lbs boost makes a very good day. I'm just getting the video of my 12.9 run up Very happy with it indeed. Terminal speed of 115.83 which was great until I realised I needed a helmet and my head doesn't fit in a Supra when I'm wearing a helmet. Aerotop would of been ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I managed one slippery launch before lunch break, James tells me it was 14.1 and a dry Pub was better than a wet ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If anyone wants performance figures for their car Im quite happy to run them with a Vbox you will get 1/4 mile, 1/8 mile, 0-6-, 0-30, 0-100 etc etc these are GPS verified so very accurate.

David P Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Your car sounds awesome David! Sounding awesome is not as going awesome as your traction, what tyres are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Sounding awesome is not as going awesome as your traction, what tyres are you running? I think the clue may be in his other thread asking what pressure to run in R888's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Here's a video of my best run. 12.957 @ 115.83. 60ft time was 2.3 so I've got to work on my driving a bit Please excuse the running commentary on the vid! http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b502/Rich_2211/th_129511583_zpsaf884539.jpg Not sure how to embed photobucket videos That was a great run to go into the 12s. That's what I was hoping for if I had managed to get a few runs in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
