Todays setup was 15% pulley, Playmini ex manifold, Camshaft, ally flywheel, 4 paddle clutch, Quaife diff, one ball exhaust, stock intercooler & ecu .

I raced the whole day with no nitrous though a lot of people thought it was on nitrous

Weighed in at 2546lb

headwind was between 7-17mph.

 

Great times Paul! Getting close to my record. ease off! especially with that head wind!

how cold was it out there? I would imagine the ground was cold and you couldn't hook as well as you should on slicks.

was the weight of the car with you in it?

 

It was 7 deg ambient but felt like -10 with the wind

Weight was with me in, full interior apart from passenger seat, pass airbag parcel shelf and rear folding seat and heater.

The drag radials were giving me wheel hop /tramp 40ft out it seems to always do this if they don't hook.

The slicks weren't to bad but I'm sure there's more in it.

If I add all my best increments togeather for that perfect run it would of run 13.41

I think on the right day it would run a 13.3 at maybe 102, if I put a the later box in 13.1s

All this on pump gas

 

13.1!!!! uhh ohh! that can't be! LOL!!!

alright... im going to the track in two weeks... ill bring the stickies for once... lets see what she will run!

That is a seriously light car! i can't belive its 2400 lbs with you in it! No thats not a fat joke.

no heater core in that thing? Good man!

 

Cant believe after one meeting I'm bench racing again

At least the extra power means I can do proper burnouts now

You've got till the 11th of Feb then kiss that 13.2 goodbye

 

hope you are adding a cylinder head!

 

its on!

i have to stop posting on nam and get wrenching...

i guess we will find out if i was sandbaggin that 13.2


next time either of us go tot he track we should take video!

 

We have it on video we just got to figure how to get from camera to computer now

 

Why???

Nobody cares to see second place videos!!!!

lol

Im sorry i couldn't resist... im sure i will eat my words soon enough!!!!


All in good fun!


ya... i have no idea how to take a video off of a camera and put it on a computer...

 

Don't forget you are 2nd in the world on street tyres

I was going to use the word pump gas as well but I bet you put some nice fuel in that tank

 

I've just thought you're actually 3rd because Hubie went 12.96 in the Mega Mini

 

i don't believe we had race gas in it at the time... wasn't isn't nessecary at the time... if we did it was maybe 2 gallons of 100... thats usually all that we do/if when we do it... its a waste to fill up on race gas and drive to the track because the track is about 60 miles away... so we use about 4 gallons getting there... and i don't want to put a full tank of race gas in because it is a waste on this application. the track sometimes sells fuel... sometimes doesn't so we never count on them. plus i would rather hold the pump gas title!

anyways yes... we are second in the world on street tires... but number one in the world on street tires, single power adder! LOL...

 

and damn it paul tires is not spelled with a Y!

 

hmmm let me see what I can do on street tires and ONE power adder..lol

Sorry I couldnt resist jumping in here with the bench racing!!

 

go for it!

 

Well knowing what it run in the Mega Mini run it should run at least 114mph on 91 octane

 

Doesnt Santa Pod run a little UP HILL?? Killer Ets and 60 ft's

just me............................
