Spoke to him on the phone after he had done it, we were at Silverstone today, but had already planned to go to pod on Sunday. It will be a cracking day.
 This is a fantastic result and his 0-60ft was 1.53--max respect.:Ladys-man

Some never doubted it :) Not bad considering he\'s gained a fair amount of weight to be safer i.e. weld-in cage, fire stuff etc.

Has he had to change much from last year (apart from safety stuff) or is it just down to practice?

I saw him run a couple of times running mid 11\'s,not sure if he got back into the 10\'s again. James blew a drive shaft so was off for n hour or so while he changed it.

Well done james, takes a lot of prep and skill to get into the tens... Anyone got any info on the car I\'d love to see what he\'s running :D

(Best my old bug ran was an 11.09, just outside of a ten, it\'s a hell of a milestone!)

Well done to James...thats a top effort by a privateer.  So far this year none of the specialist rotary tuners has ran any good times or been on strip at all so well done to James for keeping the rotors spinning on the strip...all solo...:yes :god :god :god :Thumbsup!
