was it pvs u did runs at? they didnt let anyone down strip till it was totally bone dry so it would not have been wet! seriousle fast terminal speed, i did a 12.5 with terminal speed of 114mph, hehe
was you at pvs this year? the weather was shit all weekend, i ran out the saturday there was only about 10 cars that ran as they kept shutting the track due to the weather,
there was a mk2 astra with huugee tyres on the front of it that spat its gearbox on the strip dont know if anyone saw it? but i went after that

That might be the same monster that gave Nic's Corsa a run for it's money at Crail! Was very very very quick.

But you still beat it  I'd say the tyres were a massive help to it's quick time too.

wasnt even a car length in it. was probably right on my back bumper at the line. close indeed. still, official timing, its quicker by 0.2 of a second. not on the day though, overall it is.
id get a lot better grip if i had 235/60/15 micky t's instead of 195/50/15 yoko's.

seen that red astra, plastic windows? very chunky tyres, sure the exhaust or screamer pipe came out the front bumper.
Had crazy grip on those tyres

i went up on the sunday, they seemed pretty strict on not letting anyone up until track was bone dry on the sunday! did around 5 runs oin the sunday afternoon when it was dryed up! i wanna go again and try more runs without me 5 gear change right at the end of the strip, like to get into 11's then i would be happy
