First off congrates to all the guys that run supra wise :cool: sorry i didn't chat to all, was great to meet both greg and sam whom which i had a great chat with as well as justin also who both did fantastic times......well i thought so but greg didn't which i guess is a good thing, roll on usc and other drag shows. :)

Also on the subject of that mg i heard it was 1700bhp :blink: (f-ing heavy and is not running what it should be) i may be wrong and this may be bull shit but with a turbo that size i'm guessing it's feesable .... a little bigger than at88 is an understatement :D, that drag monster evo with the 2.3 build seems to have started to get things right too set up wise as i believe it ran two 9.8 runs and one 9.7 :blink: damn quick, are we losing chase of the bigpower 4wd drive boys :( as they seemed to kick ass in general but then i guess thats down to the surface which leads me to believe justin should nail an 11 second run real soon on somewhere like pod :cool:

Thanks for getting this pic Michael - love it!

Dunno what my best 1/4 time was, just know I'd ran a 12.5 @ 109MPH by mid day (before buggering off down the end of the runway on a pretend top speed run to recover my bro's broken GT4 and give him a tow outta TOTB so he could get RAC'd home :( ) . Wasn't entirely pleased by that - think I need some race gas to get the higher power / terminals especially since intake temps seemed pretty high. Maybe a FMIC would help with that also.

 

Top speed - Dunno... nobody saw my run.

 

Handling course - I did 1 sighting lap and 1 run right at the end so dunno if they got counted.... apparently got a 44sec and think I could have knocked a few secs off of that given a few more runs. Found I was too busy reacting to the corners rather than planning my course through them.

 

My BFG's don't have much life left in them. Maybe a couple of runs back at Crail. The abrasive (yet surprisingly low grip) surface really ate them up. Anyone know if the MT E/T Streets last any longer?

 

Well done to all who competed, and Justin - you must be on par for an 11 now at the pod given you were so close today at Elvington! :)

 

Cheers,

 

Brian.

Did you have fun on the handling course? Your car looks sweet :)

 

Yeah was fun, just wish I had time for more than one timed run! (44sec)

 

Thanks for the compliment - I thought it even looked kinda mean in drag trim!

I think I may have some footage of your runs on the handling circuit, and a couple on the strip. I can't comment on the quality but I'll have a look tomorrow.

Brian,

Was that you or your brother I spoke to when I stopped and asked if you needed anything when you were under the bonnet outside TOTB?

What was up with it? I did ask but I couldn't understand the accent! :)

Nice one!

 

Jake - My bro and my m8 were still just outside TOTB when I went back in to try and get some more runs in - still had top speed and handling to do at that point.

 

Not sure what's up with it but we suspect a cracked block (weak point of the 3S-GTE) - we'll know for sure when we pull the engine out and take the head off to get a proper look in the bores. It dumped a bunch of white smoke out the back on his only top speed run (12.3 1/4mile that time incidentally) and then refused to start again :(
