Main table of 1/4 mile times and mph\'s for European rotors!

[Mark C]

Would just like to say I was there and witnessed this VERY IMPRESSIVE achievement :3gears-rh, and what made it more impressive (for me anyway) was they followed me out of the pod and drove the car home  it\'s road legal :cool (i assume)


Well done guy\'s :god

For those interested;

Geff/RE:Worx red car
Driven by Guy
Santapod

2nd run of the day
60ft: 1.589
1/8 ET: 6.87
1/8 MPH: 109.23
1/4 ET: 10.614
1/4 MPH: 130.48

10.30am, job done - we went for a burger and a cuppa

Did another run 11.1 or some thing, then the WI sprang a leak. Que got stupid and weather got hot, struggled to get a couple more runs in over the course of the afternoon as there were loads of bikes and a fair few kiddy dragsters running. Gearbox got louder (4th started graunching on the way up after a run in with a skyline, plate ?500 GTR on the M40 and couple of great runs with a spanky new Cerb Speed 6 with dad and son on board - fun-hearted chat with them at about 50-mph afterward on the A43 - mainly asking what engine was under the bonnet! said they were off to silverstone and was I coming and although the terminals were consistently 128-129mph the track was getting dusted by the guys on the line a fair bit due to kids in corsa with sprays un stuff so the surface grip seemed to drop away.

Last run Guy did I got back to him parked up and he said it \'didnt sound right\' - must\'ve gone right on the line as it still made 129mph and 11.3 with a 1.960ft. Cranked her and no surprise - one-rotor warrior

Rang geff to tell him the news, packed up and headed home - and every road I went on was gridlocked

Any way, after about 2 1/4hrs of one rotor chugging through backroads trying to avoid traffic I finally made it to the last bit of the A34 before home. Chugging up hill the exhaust note clears up, the T51 starts whining and she\'s screaming along at 1bar on both rotors again!!!!!!!???

Dunno what the problem is, ignition some where I guess? but she\'s sat on the drive and will be taking me to work tomorrow

Rang Geff. Happy again

Yep, taxed and mot\'d

Wasnt following u for long tho was I!! chugging along on half an engine, had to let the FTO (aahhgh! :eek) past in the end

You werent the montego blue one that we met on the way to jae btw were u? the car looked kind of familiar...

There was also a blue FD with full veilside kit which looked nice, didnt meet the owner or have a look up close though, I think he spoke to Guy may be tho. Hopefully he has fun as I saw him run a couple of times at least

[jay]

Well done to Geff anad the boys, very impressed. Am i right in thinkin that is the first 10 sec in an fd over here?
 Cheers Jay...:wave

Just one small point,

There is an RX7 a few years back that was doing 10 second 1/4\'s in the UK.
It was running a N/A 13 b with NOS in a 1st gen.
So not quite true to say the 1st Rotary in the 10\'s.
Still very well done to all concerned.
Kind regards
Carl

Now you tell us Carl!!!  :rollin  after all this time, we all thought no other rotary powered car in the UK was in the 10\'s???  

Anyways - unless the owner of the 1st gen. comes forward with some figures, Geff has the top spot and got it first!

It was funny really cops I was approached by him at the RWYB 2 weeks before Rotorstock at Shakespeare.
He now is running a Datsun 260z in the nines.(Chevy powered)
He just came out with it and said that he had a 1st gen RX7 running that configuration a few years back,I said what sort of times and he said at first it would run 11\'s and later it was in the 10\'s.
Also if we are going to be really picky Eamon Hurley has run a 3 rotor NSU bike in the 8\'s in the early 80\'s.
The table is fine by me,just thought it might encourage some to think that they also could do a very quick time up the strip that\'s all.
Kind regards

The guy Carl spoke to sounds like the man from Forge Motorsport.I spoke to him a couple of years ago,the fastest he went in the 1st gen was 12.1,I thought one day I will beat that,and I did.

No Tim,it was another guy actually.

Chugging along on half an engine, oh dear, i take it thats why you left then, hope you can get it fixed fairly easily.

As for JAE no that wasn\'t me, i did go on saturday and parked up on the stand, I went straight there, I didn\'t stop to meet up with anyone as i only live 15 miles from billing and 5 miles from the pod
