Im still well chuffed with my time and it was done with no NOS!
1/8 mile time was 6.89 @106mph

Was that the blond girl who went past the lights- flapped when she was called back and then couldn't find reverse about 4 times...

REALLY REALLY funny...

Poor girl..... I am sure anyone will tell though its quite daunting sat down there for the first time..


the number of people who didn't know or understand how to stage was shocking... never seen it that bad before- but its all in the spirit of things.

Yeah that was me :blonde: ... least you caught my best run

I totally lost the plot on all three runs to be honest, the first two weren't as public though (no one noticed me totally missing the exit on the first run).

Credit to the car though, did not fell at all intimidated by any of the cars I got lined up with and felt pretty confident of hitting 14s even though deep down I was hoping to get a 13 ... I'll work on the launch .

i did a 13.3 best in the missus' car... pretty dissapointing as i had a problem with a misfire the car should do 12's no problem.

here's a vid of a 13.8 run taken off somebody's phone:

What power, wieght and tyres were you running.

Around 480bhp,think the car weighs around 950kg and running hoosier slicks 7"x20"x13" Going to get 22" or 23" tall tyres next
