James ran a 10.74, 130 mph with a 1.6 0-60 ft  @ 10 of the best today.

 Lisa and I drove up to York today to support him and he delivered a new PB.

Watch out at Rotapop. The track at Elvington was cr4p, just bare concrete.

When you consider he did that on the worst bit of old runway you can think of with no traction, he is going to run very low 10\'s.

He also ran a 177mph high speed run over the measured mile bare ar$ed. The car became unstable so he had to back off, no downforce on the rear end. He only used 5 of his 6 gears. Still recon he needs to fit a Re-Am big bird tray as a spoiler, same as Pettit used on his high speed run.

I think it will help his strip work as well ----views.???????

He did well, especially when he fitted some better rubber and we messed around with his tyre pressures. The lad has big ball\'s to do a high speed run bare arsed, was a good day, some people were running ballistic power.
John in his FC ran some good times to and again ran a 12 flat i think when he took some PSI out of his tyres.
The only two rotaries there

Well done lads!!!!!

Mark

Cheers, was good to see you all.
The FC made the top 5 in RWD class on the handling...only 4 seconds behind the first placed Dax rush, 170mph over the standing mile and a 12.0 120mph standing quarter. Best 1.91 60 foot on road tyres.
The car was fantastic!
