Chris, why isn\'t your car listed in the table? Have you not been on the 1/4 yet?

Cheers

You\'re right, I\'ve not done any 1/4 mile runs, I don\'t think I will until I have sorted out a ton of things, plus I want to head towards track rather than strip, but once it\'s ready, it would be a crime not to!

From the sounds of things I\'ll expect to be updating this table after Sunday 4th.

Don\'t disappoint me!

Hmmm... think I\'ll be disappointing then!  :rolleyes:

Just been checking the Santa Pod RWYB days (live just round the corner, so its the place for me to go, really!), and of those days left in the year, I can\'t do the 4/9 (wedding anniversary! Guess what gets priority!), 25/9 (getting back from holiday), 9/10 (Jap Show - may be brave enough to have a go, but sooooooo busy, and it\'ll be my first time!), 15/10 (night time RWYB - should be good, but I\'m out gigging anyway!), 16/10 + 23/10 + 6/11 - I\'m free! (definately not said in a John Inman wail!)

Looking forward to trying to beat my Brunters time, reckon on room for improvement e.g. lots of spin at the start needs sorting; plus when best to change gear (was basically changing at the chime - torque at these revs is well on the decline, isn\'t it?). Lets hope the ol\' girl holds up!  

Cheers,
Andrew

Experiment with revs, to much right foot and wheel spin, not enough bog down, I used to launch single turbo at 4500 and probably wanted a tad less, and was slipping clutch not stepping off it. Dont change on the buzzer, you hace gone past you peak power at about 6500, so change around 6500/6750.
Just play and have fun, you\'ll find your style of driving.
So there are some advantages to living in Northampton then ;-)

I\'m not sure when I\'m going to find the time to have a go on the strip either. Plus I\'m a 1/4 virgin - I\'m scared. May have to take a passenger up there with me.  :rolleyes:

At Brunters, first 2 runs were starting with about 3500, and was a bit boggy, so upped to about 5000, then spin, by which time the runs were over! As you say, torque is falling so plan was to try and change at 6.5-7k. In the heat of things and the adrenalin pumping, it will no doubt be hard to concentrate and get everything together!  :rolleyes:

Not a bad idea, always lots of volenteers for that, good idea to go on rwyb days as then its more relaxed than a big meet.

Hey Gary,

(hope the others don\'t notice the single turbo reference !) what was your best time on the strip then?

Do you still have a go anymore?

Nice figure! Is it what you expected?

[g11ary]

Only mentioned single turbo so guys would expect what I say about launching to be slightly different as singles drive differently to twins.
With a TO4E, which these days is a baby turbo I was 12.62 I think, its on the main board.
Not had an fd on the rd for a while, but will be back to try again.
