What tyres are you running and what was your 60ft. I was only 0.2 slower an Im NA. Have to say, didnt get chance to speak to you, but your car looked lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have the slip with me at the moment but it was awful. Currently got nangkangs on and find they have no grip. Didn't get how the lighting system worked on the first run so kinda over throttled it and just floated for ages, 2nd run I tried launching @ 4k RPM and it just floated aswell and last run I launched like a grandad and got the 15.2 . Think I need better tyres... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a set of drags next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also look at getting the geo done, will make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Just for the record guys, I have written to the person concerned at SP explaining that the pitch was more suited for 18-20 cars and that we struggled. The reply was simply thanking me for the feedback. No explanation was offered or promise that future bookings would be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest we could have easily parked three deep across the whole stand could we not? I was fairly happy, even though its always nicer to have more space. Like to thanks those of you who shuffled the cars around when we came back to park up. Appreciated it, and thanks to you Shane for organising the whole stand.

Shane Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 That's a very nice arse... My boss said he saw a couple of silver Supras on the M1 on Saturday and described one as having a larger spoiler than others, showed him this thread and he said instantly "that's the one". He would have been in a very new BMW and he and his teenage lad were looking over at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
