Norris Evo times (new figures + Sierra times on page 7)
We strapped our Datron Microsat timing equipment into Simon Norris' Evo at Santa Pod yesterday.
Unfortunatly a slipping clutch meant that we only got two runs with Datron figures, both of which had far from perfect launches to add to the clutch slip (and a 14mph head wind).
Problems aside, it still smashed the records his previous car held and is officially the quickest car we've ever timed
0-10mph 0.498sec (2nd run)
0-20mph 1.053sec (2nd run)
0-30mph 1.515sec (2nd run)
0-40mph 1.943sec (2nd run)
0-50mph 2.399sec (2nd run)
0-60mph 3.133sec (1st run)
0-70mph 3.532sec (1st run)
0-80mph 3.951sec (1st run)
0-90mph 4.559sec (1st run)
0-100mph 5.078sec (1st run)
0-110mph 5.681sec (1st run)
0-120mph 6.354sec (1st run)
0-130mph 7.335sec (1st run)
0-140mph 8.226sec (1st run)
0-150mph 9.280sec (1st run)
100-150mph 4.202sec
Santa Pod timing slip details (2nd run)
9.777sec @ 154.67mph
The best times we recorded from his old car:
0-30mph 1.37sec
0-60mph 2.69sec
0-100mph 5.63sec
0-150mph 12.02sec
100-150mph 6.28sec
Couple of ramdom super car times
Veyron 0-120 7.3sec
F1 0-100 6.3sec
Once his new clutch is fitted (and we can find an air field that will have us) we'll be going for a 0-200 time and improvements on the ones above

when i said road car,i meant the type of car you'd actually see once in a while on the roads,then follow it for a few miles just on it's bumper trying to get it to race,then as he takes the slip road,you call him a bottler
