Default How Chuffed??!!! Thanks Performance Ford! Pics/Vids anyone??

So, what a day!!!

Getting the car finished was a bit of a last minute rush, we had quite a few problems in the last few weeks. Finally got the new Cam and Intercooler in on Wednesday and mapped the car on Wednesday night in the rain!! That was fun. NOT.

Anyway, great show of cars today, some that I have seen before and one-or-two that I haven't. Consistent great attitudes from everyone, fantastic atmosphere.

First run of the day, I got on the brakes a little early, so imagine my surprise when the results came up at 168.84mph. There was a little concern at first over the accuracy, but close inspection of the Graph by the PF boys and a subsequent Test Run in Nicks car confirmed that the time was indeed correct. I hit 162mph within a Mile on that run.

Due to the early braking thing, I couldn't wait to get out again. This time, the run felt much the same, but I was later on the brakes. The result was 168.82!!

My third and final run was using Tony's 17" Wheels, which returned a result of 168.1mph. Consistent eh?

I had the same kind of scenario last year, going slower with bigger wheels. On reflection, I wish I had swapped tyres Front to Rear as my Fronts are on the Treadwear Limit and the Rears are like new, so that might have just need enough to snatch the 170mph mark!!

Anyway, whilst part of me is a little disappointed that I didn't hit 170mph, my target for the day was 165mph, so of course I am over the moon.

As usual, I couldn't even tell you what my Sprint times were. I did plan to make more effort with these, but the initial Top Speed run over-shadowed everything. I have no shame though, so if anyone does have them, post them up!!

Thanks to everyone concerned, including PF and everyone else who came today, it was a great day.
