well got up early and headed to the pod, weather was shocking and we were almost leaving at 11, but it started to brighten up, and by 1:30 we were going down the strip,

first time ever down the strip i did a 12.6 which i was chuffed with,

second run i had launch contol on, which put car into safe mode and engine management light on just after starting, so turned car off, turned it back on, foot hard down and still caught and overtook the 4x4 cav trubo i was up againt and did 15sec flat, lol!

best time in the end was 12.5 with terminal off 115mph!

mates who were watching didnt c anyone go quicker today down strip, mate in his vx220 got 12.8, saw other p4 vx220 do a 12.6............. even finalists of yesterdays rwyb did 12.6 today!

so i was well happy!

just uploading a vid i got on one run!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj7eXyt-AK0 thats one run

was not overly impressed with rest of the show, loads of car that look the same! nothing really exciting me, but then again weather didnt help!

for a everyday car to run 12.5 on normal tyres i really dont have confident i was over the moon, did 12.5 3 times also, was hoping to get little faster!
