No pics from the day except this mightily impressive plate on a nice car.
Did get some vids, but my camera's gone spastic and is chewing on the tapes, so they're on hold for the meanwhile....
Got to about 12:30ish and the times started getting worse and worse, so left at 1ish. The 14.5, I fucked it, forgot to turn my boost switch up so I got all confused when I floored it in 2nd and the power had all fucked off somewhere, then realised what a twat I'd been and turned it up, but to no avail, it came out shit!

I think it would be a tad illegal to make the C an E without the right paperwork to go with it

the weather at the moment is crap for pod, i went on sat did 12 runs and could manage better than a 14.2@104mph, too much wheelspin, think ill wait till it gets abit hotter before i go again.

yeah, but compare the 60ft times, I can only assume I got traction but fluffed a gear change or something, or maybe by getting the traction to start with, it somehow reduced the momentum of it suddenly gripping while spinning and catapulting up the 1/4? dunno, was odd though.
also, check out the reaction time, for both drivers, maybe the timing fucked up?

temp was ok imo, just a little damp in the air, mist came in about 12:30ish too, not bad, but could feel it was damper.

looking at the 1000' time etc. it shouldve beena better et, but by the terminal and final et, its almost as if i jabbed the brakes as I went across the line
Maybe thats the run that I used 5th on? I only went up into 5th on one run, all the others I held it in 4th, could explain it, maybe?

wouldnt of thought you would have dropped that much speed of by going into 5th tho . my lowest terminal of the day when i went week b4 was 104 and that was going into 5th over the line the rest i stayed in 4th and most were between 106 and 108

lol my 60ft times were 2.5-2.7ish due too wheelspin, reason for my poor 1/4 miles times tbh, my m8 managed a 13.7@105 and we put our slips together and there nothing in it except he had a better launch.
