Never taken the pug to pod, and fancied a run up the strip

So yesterday it had 3 runs up the strip

It survived the day fine

But I was only launching at 3000 revs


Here is the vid from run 3 my quickest time

12.88 @112mph

Here is my timing sheet

 

Good time and room for improvment, 60fts not the best. What tyres were you running?

 

I knew my60ft would be low as I wasn't launching hard

It is running a048's on the front

 

Good tyres mate , you say you aren't launching hard , were you getting good grip to launch harder? Or spinning in 1st and needing launch at lower revs. either way with a bit of practice you could get the 60ft down at least 0.2 and could bring the time down byas much as 0.4

 

Grip was fine, was slipping the clutch a little

Was doing it all to save damage to transmission

If it was taken in trailer It would have been a different story

 

Did you beat the TVR.

 

Nice one


You got the bug for it?

 

On time I did as I was catching him after I got into 3rd

Will upload my Incar footage

Rich, always loved pod, taken my Reno 5's up there and took my staff up there, broke the saff's diff lol

 

Saff in broken diff at Pod shocker

 

I've still got that vid! Poor old F330

 

Did you only choose to do 3 runs mate? Or was it flat out there and you only managed to get in 3 runs?

I want to go, but its a fair old distance away from me and would hate to go that far and only manage to get 3 runs in :/

 

good times Steve.

 

i done a double look then, my old saph was f30

 

Depends on the day, some normal RWYB days you can turn up and have run after run, the 'themed' (central RS day/USC/Classic Ford/GTi festival etc) days get busy so you don't get that many runs in.

Remember it's hard on the car too so remember your AA/RAC card. I broke my front engine mounting once and had to drive back to Worcester very gently.

 

Smit , yeah loved that car

Ryan I'm from card so 190mile trip to get there, 1st run queued for 20 mins or so, went straight back in queue and waited 3 hrs

Bloody bikes, glue track, someone broke a leg and dragsters

3rd run was about 1hr or so after second ,

Few issues caused delays which was annoying

I stopped at 3 as I was happy with time and run 4 would have meant more revs and more chance of breaking it,

I drive it home so was happy with that,

 

quick car that

 

Cracking time that!!

 

cheers

 

I will get you a sticker made "Home made Rocketship" and you will put it on there

 

hahaha

or you can buy me a low comp engine? only 1500

pretty please?

 

You buy me a cage, a set of wheels and a set of r888's and you got a deal

 

Good time that!
