Oh my Go

So 0-60 quicker than 3.89s?
0-100 quicker than 7.99s?
Quarter mile quicker 11.99 and 124.37?
Top speed quicker than 190 is obvious - so well done

The results have not been posted as we were all asked not to post them, so we are respecting PF's wishes, nothing wrong with that IMO.

Anyway had a really good day, and i was defo chuffed how YUM went.

Well Done to Dave for doing what he did, i found out myself today exactly how much of a nutter you need to be to do top speed runs. It certainly aint as easy as getting in and putting your foot down....

Also thanks to everyone who came along to support us, Mark, Ade, Rod, Dean was nice too see you all

Thanks to Chip too for being passenger, something i could never do, and thanks for coming out on my runs too.

Dave - really cool to see you today and thank you from me for the day Will see you again soon when i get H98 back

Andyescos - Was nice to see you again, and i also wish you all the luck with your business and how it is growing


Sooo hopefully i will get round Donnington ok tomorrow with YUM, really looking forward to getting on track with her
